The Warriors are really a little incomprehensible in the recent period, Curry suspended the team for 5 consecutive wins, and immediately lost 2 consecutive games after his return, which is on the one hand, the team's defensive problems, and then the team's chemistry after the lineup changes.
There are problems on the field of the team, and there are many hot spots off the field, before Dillon dissed Dream Green in an interview, for which Dream recently opened his own podcast and sprayed Dillon, calling Dillon a stupid X, bluntly saying that Dillon is a clown, and said that the Grizzlies can only establish a dynasty after Dillon retires.
Today, the Warriors and the Grizzlies faced each other again, the Grizzlies' Morant, Clark, Adams and others could not play, the Warriors' side, Wiggins continued to be absent, and Kuminga withdrew from the game because he twisted his ankle during the pre-game warm-up.
As soon as the game came up, the Grizzlies caught the Warriors by surprise, they used accurate three-point shots to bombard 48 points and establish a 20-point advantage, and the Warriors offense and defense picked up a certain amount in the second quarter, but the Grizzlies entered the second half with an 18-point advantage with a small climax at the end of the quarter.
After swapping venues, the Warriors offered hope of a comeback, winning by 12 points in a single quarter, leaving the gap by just six points. But in the final quarter, the Warriors still could not limit the Grizzlies' offensive attack, and could only watch the Grizzlies widen the point gap again, and finally had no choice but to accept the result of the 110-131 loss.
After losing this game, the Warriors slipped down the ranking in the West again, from 5th in the West to 6th in the West, with the same record as the Timberwolves and Lone Ranger, and the situation to advance to the playoffs is not clear. The team won 5 consecutive games before Curry's comeback, and lost 3 consecutive games after his return, and I have to say that the Warriors are really confusing during this time.
But look at today's Cole's lineup may have some clues, it is the end of the season, Kerr is still experimenting with the lineup, in the case of Kuminga, Wiggins two forwards can not play, today Cole discharged Poole, Curry, DiVincenzo, Klay, Dream Green four guard starters, this starting lineup was blasted by the Grizzlies as soon as it came up, no height, even if there is a defensive strong player like Green sitting inside, it cannot limit the Grizzlies' offense.
Curry actually played well today, shooting 10 of 19, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 29 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, in the case of the team's big loss, he as a starter who played 34 minutes, the plus-minus value can be maintained to +2 is enough to show that whether he plays or plays today, at least at his own average level.
Poole got 22 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists today, the data looks good, but today Poole did not play well, 10 of the 22 points were obtained in the final stage of garbage time, after Curry's return, Poole was pulled back from the starting and bench by Kerr, Poole looks very uncomfortable with the frequent changes in his role, the Warriors have not been able to determine their regular rotation this season, which is one of the reasons why Poole has played so much this season.
Chasing Dream's statistics today are still very comprehensive, 16 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, but there were 5 turnovers as many as the game, in this head-to-head confrontation with Dillon, Chasing Dream's personal data compared to Dillon, but the team's win or loss is the most important thing. After the loss, Chase Dream was also ridiculed by Dillon, "Chase Dream you go on, continue to do things on your podcast, you are really cute, I believe you also enjoy it." Dillon said after the game.
The late season period has been tough for the Warriors, the team has been pushed to the edge of the cliff, and the absence of Kuminga and Wiggins has hit them hard with such competition in the West. Under pressure from all sides, the team's future schedule has also made them look very big, and in the next five games, the Warriors will face the Bucks, Suns, Clippers, Hawks, Grizzlies, of which the Hawks and Grizzlies are still a group of back-to-back away games.
For the team's consecutive losses, the Warriors looked very helpless, Curry and Klay looked at each other behind the game, and Kerr said that today's loss was only because the Grizzlies played better and the Warriors played worse. The current warriors are really worried about internal and external troubles, and if they do not solve various problems quickly, I am afraid that their dynasty will really fall apart.
