Discuss the review | Affected by trade rumors? Warriors from head coach to core collective "swing rotten"

The Warriors lost 118-133 at home to the Raptors. How should we evaluate this game? Let's just qualitatively --

From the atmosphere before the game to the trend of the game, this is definitely not a normal game, and there is "weirdness" everywhere. The Warriors' performance gave a "swing" feel, and no one from coach Steve Kerr to leader Stephen Curry to key player Andrew Wiggins was normal.

Recently, the Warriors have been deeply involved in trade rumors because of their poor record, and one player who has had a scandal with the Warriors is Raptors interior Siakam. Before the game, NBC Sports reported that the Warriors' reluctance to leave Kuminga for Siakam became a trade hurdle.

It coincided with the Raptors' trip to the Bay Area to play on the road, and Raptors president Ugery also came with the team, and he chatted with Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. on the sidelines before the game, which sparked more speculation.

Interestingly, Kerr changed formation at this point, starting with Kuminga, Wiggins, TJD and the Splash Brothers, and many jokingly called the game "the battle of inspections".

But if this is really a "battle for inspections", Kerr is clearly reducing the value of their trade by bringing Kuminga and Wiggins together. Kuminga and Wiggins are incompatible, and this season when both are on the court at the same time, the Warriors have scored 103.4 points per 100 possessions, conceded 120.5 points, and netted a net minus 17.1 points per 100 possessions.

Previously, several celebrities in The Athletic's Warriors section frantically wrote that Kerr should have more Kuminga and Wiggins on the court at the same time, and even Kuminga himself went to Kerr to talk about his proposal to be on the same court as Wiggins.

Kerr has a great data analytics team and coaching team behind him, and they all think that the combination of Kuminga and Wiggins is just athletic, but their ability to defend and open up space makes them unfit to be on the court together.

There is a reasonable suspicion that the direction of several writers for the Warriors zone has been influenced by the team of Kuminga and Wiggins. After they successively posted suggesting that Cordo use the combination of Kuminga + Wiggins, Kerr did use it, but because of the poor effect, Kerr quickly gave up, and after the game, he faced reporters with a tough attitude of "I told you no".

But in today's key game with the Raptors, Kerr inexplicably came up with a combination of Kuminga and Wiggins, and also paired it with TJD. Either Kerr's lineup was disrupted by certain factors, or Cole's swing coaching style.

At first glance, Kerr wants to use the dual forward line + TJD to do a good job of defense, and the splash brothers on the offensive end open up space. But the reality is very skinny, the Warriors were blown up at the beginning, conceding 36 points in the first quarter and 40 points in the second quarter. On the offensive end, the Raptors' size advantage is already superior, coupled with their squeeze of Curry, the Warriors' offensive execution is not smooth, and Chris Paul's injury makes the Warriors very uncomfortable in this kind of game.

In the second half, Kerr directly abandoned the double forward, and Saric, Looney and Podemski played the third quarter with a splash, which allowed the Warriors to chase 9 points at one point. But after that, Cole inexplicably replaced the excellent Thompson and replaced Joseph, and the difference was opened again.

Throughout the game, Kuminga was decent at best, while Wiggins was rotten. With this performance, unless the Warriors come up with 1-2 first-round picks to compensate the Raptors, the Raptors really can't look down on it.

Funnily enough, Kerr was still saying after the game: "We've talked about trying to get them on the court as much as possible, and theoretically they're the most athletic players on the team and have the best reach. We've not been a very defensively good team this season, so we want to try more. ”

Kerr's deployment and on-the-spot coaching are indeed wonderful, but as the leader of the team, Curry's performance was also disappointing, shooting 2-of-14 from the field, including 0-of-9 from three-point range. When the Warriors were on the verge of collapse, Curry's recent performance was really not ideal. Playing the Nuggets, he made a fatal mistake. Playing the Pistons, he shot 36.8% from the field and fortunately woke up in the final quarter, shooting 14.3% from the field against the Raptors.

At this pace, the Warriors are not far from the day of the great change.
