The NBA regular season matchup between the Warriors and the Raptors has come to an end, before this battle, one was eleventh in the East and the other was twelfth in the West, but from the lineup of both sides, the stars on the Warriors' side were higher, but the trend of the whole game and the final result were unexpected, and the Warriors lost to the Raptors at home. This game once again brought the Warriors back to reality, and if they don't make adjustments in the future, it may be difficult to even make the playoffs this season. Kerr was ineffective, Curry was responsible, and Moody became a fig leaf.
Facing the Raptors with a forward group, Kerr adjusted the starting lineup in this game, and he got Wiggins into the starting lineup, sending a combination of the Splash Brothers + Kuminga + Wiggins and TD. But judging from the effect of the game, the adjustment of this starting lineup did not bring him any help, and the Warriors were directly stunned by the opposite side at the beginning of the game. Brother Zui, who returned to the starting lineup, was also unable to play well, with only three points, two rebounds and one assist on 1-of-6 shooting in the whole game, with a plus/minus of -29 and the lowest in the team. It's hard to imagine that as the hero of the Warriors' championship-winning season, the team's offensive and defensive fronts have degenerated to the point where he is now this season, and now he may not even be eligible to enter the rotation.
There is an important factor in the team's defeat to the Raptors, that is, the star Curry pulled his hips, Curry only hit 2 of 14 shots in this game, this is another game that did not hit three points, 9 three-point shots were missed, Curry only had 9 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists in the whole game, and the plus/minus value was -17 second only to Wiggins. Of course, the opposite side of the play is also one of the factors, this game Barrett ushered in an explosion, in the whole game he shot 13 of 20, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, 37 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, this is also his personal season high, I have to say that Barrett who came to the Raptors ushered in a new life.
This season, we can still clearly see the ups and downs and declines of Curry's form, he has had a sluggish performance in the past many games, you must know that the current Warriors have no stable output points, and it is impossible for them to win when Curry is in a slump. If Curry and Klay can't maintain an efficient performance, then it may be unrealistic for the Warriors to go far this season.
Only two players scored 20 points in this game, one was Klay in the starting lineup, he found the crosshairs outside the three-point line, hit 5 of 7 three-point shots in the game, and contributed 25 points and 3 rebounds throughout the game. The other player is Moody's. Moody, who played in the rotation lineup, made nine shots in the game, and contributed 21 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the three-point line, becoming a fig leaf for the Warriors in this game. You must know that Moody has been abandoned by Kerr many times before this, but he has proved with his performance that he can get rotation opportunities and playing time, and I wonder if Kerr will give Kerr more time in the future.
Whether you admit it or not, the current Warriors have reached the stage of not breaking or standing, it depends on whether the management can make up their minds to make changes to the roster, otherwise even as a Warriors fan, it is hard for me to believe that they can make a difference this season. Do they need to make a decision, is it a trade or a change in roster rotation and starters? How do you think the Warriors need to adjust to get to the impasse and get out of the doldrums?
