The Warriors have won three games in a row in the playoffs, meaning there's basically no suspense in their progress to the next round. Although the Nuggets put up stubborn resistance at home today, they still failed to withstand the Warriors' offensive wave. Today Curry Thompson and Poole again scored 80 points together. The Nuggets themselves are a team that is not good at defending the outside. With the strong firepower against the Warriors' three players, they were able to hold out to the last moment today is already very tenacious.
Kerr spent most of these three games using the new five squads. And how strong is this new five-small lineup? This can be seen in the average score per game. The Warriors' new five lineups are Curry, Thompson, Poole, Wiggins and Green. The five men have averaged 97 points per game in their last three games, an offensive firepower that no team in the league can resist. Even some fans believe that the Warriors' new five-small lineup can now be comparable to the durant-era five-small lineup.
Now Jordan Pooler's average points per game are completely on par with Durant's previous average of points per game. Of course, the two players are not players of the same level, and the stability of Poole in the future remains to be seen. But at this stage, he can already play the same role in scoring as Durant did before. And in other positions Wiggins replaced the previous Iguodala, which is stronger on the offensive end than before.
Wiggins, though, cut back on his shots in those three playoff games, averaging just 8.7 shots per game. But he can still contribute 12.7 points per game. That's significantly higher than Iguodala's average of points per game, and Wiggins has an absolute hit rate guarantee. Wiggins has shot 55.6 percent from three-point range in his last three games, which means that Wiggins is more stable with his three-pointers than Iguodala, although the defensive end may not be able to meet Iguodala's role at the moment.
That is to say, the Warriors' current new five small lineups on the offensive end can be completely compared with the five small lineups in Durant's period, and the average score per game is not the personal ability of the star. The most critical thing in the next playoffs is whether Poole can maintain stability in dealing with all levels of defense, if he can average about 20 points per game in the playoffs. So the warriors will have a very good chance of winning the championship this season, I don't know what the fans think?
