On April 17, Beijing time, the Kings played at home against the Warriors, and the Kings successfully defeated the Warriors 118-94 at the end of the game. Originally, the Warriors were very optimistic about beating the King, but the Warriors were obviously not as determined as the Kings in this game, and Klay's performance in the game was really bad, and it was really not unjust for the Warriors to lose the game in the end, but it was also embarrassing for the Warriors to lose such a game, and some people even thought that this was the complete end of the Warriors era, and the reason for such remarks was because the Warriors were in Curry, Klay and Green are both healthy and miss the playoffs, which would have been unimaginable before, so it's no surprise that the Warriors era is over.
Although it is too early to draw such a conclusion, it is still debatable whether the era of the Warriors will be lonely, but Klay's struggle is clearly visible on the court, Klay was originally at the end of the regular season to gradually change the fans' perception of him, but such a play-off game has wiped out Klay's previous efforts, and even Klay's future in the Warriors has become full of uncertainty, and Klay has no way to blame others for such a result, after all, the poor performance of 0 in 10 is really unacceptable, and Clay must be held accountable for the loss of the Warriors。 Klay also suffered a humiliating record after this game, statistically shooting 0-of-10 in a playoff or play-in tournament, the worst single-game shooting in Warriors history since 1964 (the most shots made in a 0-of-10 game).
The Warriors' first-round pick this year is a top-four pick, and they currently have a 3.4% chance of getting a top-four pick and a 0.7% chance of getting the top pick. If the Warriors' pick drops out of the top four, a first-round pick goes to the Trail Blazers. According to salary expert Bobby Marks, the Warriors spent $382.5 million on their roster this season. Among them, the player's salary is 205.6 million, the luxury tax is 176.9 million, the Warriors have spent so much this season that it has been miserable, and in the end, the Warriors have not yet made the playoffs, and these things have made the Warriors very uncomfortable, and now the Warriors may lose their first-round picks It is even more difficult for the Warriors to be hit, and it can be said that it is unknown whether the Warriors owner is willing to pay a huge price for the team next.
Although Klay's poor performance has become the target of Warriors fans, Curry is actually disappointing, because Curry did not play much well in this game, and now Curry has too many mistakes, Curry still has 6 turnovers in this game, and Curry's mistakes in the regular season against the Pelicans have made the Warriors very passive, and now Curry has not changed it in the play-offs, it can be said that Curry's performance is disappointing. And this season, you can see Curry's decline in the game, and now Curry is 36 years old, so it can be said that the Warriors really don't have much opportunity to waste Curry's last peak career.
Speaking about Paul after this game, Kerr said: "Because of Paul's leadership, we have the best time ever in the time period when Curry is off the court, he is very professional, and we hope to have him back next season." At the same time, Kerr also said: Hopefully we can re-sign Klay, Curry and Green are both under contract now. Hopefully we can make a comeback next season. We need Clay back. He means a lot to us. He has a couple of good seasons to play. I know what I say speaks for everyone in the team and we all want him back. It can be seen that Kerr hopes that the Warriors will keep Paul and Klay, but it is still difficult for the Warriors to do such a thing, first of all, the size of Klay's contract will undoubtedly become an obstacle, and Paul will definitely pursue the championship, so it is really difficult for the Warriors to continue to impress Paul.
