Star performance
Curry was in a slump today, and his presence on the court was not lacking, but in the time he was off, the Warriors played a wave of counter-attacking climax. Curry's recent form has been quite inconsistent with ups and downs, and I don't know if it's because of age or injury issues, he has lost his former dominance this season. Head coach Kerr is not able to strategically rotate Curry, which will help him recover.
Klay lost himself on the offensive end today after his last big outburst, and that's what Klay has really been like this season. Stability has become Clay's biggest problem and a key factor in his ability to sign a big contract. If it's a real problem of ability, then he should accept it psychologically and change his style of play. If it is indeed because of psychological problems, then he needs to adjust his psychological state in time, so that he can get back to what he once felt.
In Doncic's absence, Irving, as the only superstar on the team, needs to shoulder the offensive and organizational responsibilities, after all, the Mavericks still have the task of ranking in the regular season, and Irving also needs to show his ability.
Arena analysis
First, in the first quarter of the game, head coach Kerr used a lineup of four guards with Green, which was obviously lacking in defensive ability and poor confrontation, and the Mavericks took the opportunity to play a wave of counterattacks. Second, the defensive ability on the outside is not consistent. This has something to do with the absence of Wiggins and Kuminga on the outside, and at the same time he didn't play on the offensive end. Third, many of the referees' decisions in this game were questioned, and everyone thought that this was a show of favoritism for the Warriors.
