Curry is getting more and more urgent, and the Warriors are getting worse and worse

No matter how bad the Warriors are, losing to the Raptors today is really something I didn't expect.


In the Raptors' previous 17 games today, the Raptors lost 16 of them and won only one against the Nets, who were already determined to start swinging up. However, it is such a Raptor, the Warriors played with the Raptors throughout the game, and the Raptors Boucher exploded in the final quarter, which became the turning point of the game.



Boucher scored 18 points in the game and 17 in the final quarter, at one point 7-of-7 from the field and 3-of-3 from three-point range. Of course, even if the Raptors have the X-factor of Boucher, the Warriors still have a good chance to win the game in the final stage, until Curry misses this chase three-pointer.


In the last 45 seconds or so of the final quarter, Curry counterattacked with the ball, 5 to 4 in the frontcourt, Curry chose a quick stop and retreat to force a three-point shot, and the defender had already blocked it, but Curry still shot.



Curry's shooting is not the worst case, the worst thing is that the Raptors grabbed the rebound and made a direct long pass to Abaki, who had not had time to retreat, directly 1 to 0, and the Warriors trailed by three points. Wiggins and Hield then each missed, and the Warriors lost.



It can be said that Curry's three-point shot selection led to the defeat of the Warriors. Even if this three-point shot is made, the Warriors are ahead, and there are still more than forty seconds to go, which is far from killing the game. What was supposed to be a good situation of 5 to 4 turned into the opponent's 1 to 0.


Curry played a decent game this time, and he didn't feel good in the first quarter, and he came back to make up for it later. He shot 9-of-17 from the field, including 4-of-10 from three-point range, and finished with 26 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Of course, a mistake in the final quarter and a poor three-point selection are still too impressive.



Many of the Warriors' missed games this season have been accompanied by some of Curry's poor three-point selections. The continuous strong three-point shooting on the court also reflects Curry's anxious mentality off the court, no way, can Curry not be in a hurry?


After losing to the Raptors, the Warriors' win percentage fell below 50% for the first time this season, to 19-20, ranking 11th in the West. If the Spurs win against the Lakers today, their record will surpass the Warriors, and the Warriors will fall directly to 12th in the West.



The pattern of the West this year is that 12 teams are vying for six playoff spots and four playoff spots, and two unlucky guys will miss the play-offs. Many people are saying that the Warriors are still play-offs this season, but in fact, the Warriors play-offs may not be very stable.


Curry's form has undoubtedly declined, averaging 26.4 points per game last season, and this season it has dropped directly to 22.7 points. I finally survived the sluggish December, and my form improved a little in January, but the Warriors' record has always been sluggish. The Warriors need Curry more and more games this season, but Curry can carry the team fewer and fewer games.



The impact of Kuminga's injury may be even greater than expected, as the Warriors have lost four of their five games since his injury. Kuminga has been one of the Warriors' biggest impacts this season, and with him not on the floor, the Warriors have had a lot less change on the court.


Regarding Kerr's rotation, I've complained many, many times before the season is halfway through. It has always been DNP Moody's form before, and the team has been injured recently, and when he is suddenly put into the rotation, you don't expect him to play well, 0 of 6 today, 1 of 6 before is expected.



Another thing I particularly can't figure out is why Kyle Lee's rotation with the Warriors is so strange. Before, it was either DNP or direct starter. Today, he didn't let Li Kaier play in the first quarter, and let him play for 10 minutes in the second quarter.


Do you think Kerr is going to adjust the rotation in the second half? No, Li Kaier only played 7 minutes in the second half. But at the last moment, the Warriors' decisive lineup, Li Kaier was still on the court. I feel that Cole has a dual personality, one personality is saying that Li Kaier is not good, and the other personality is extremely believing in Li Kaier.



Lee Kyle played very well today, scoring 13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-5 shooting, and even the most "disliked" three-point shot by the Warriors was 2-of-2. Even then, he only got 17 minutes of playing time. For many moments in the second half, the Warriors lacked a sizeable forward to top a Raptors' forward group, but Lee just didn't make it.


It's a fact that Schroder played poorly when he came to the Warriors, but the Warriors didn't pay much to get Schroder, and Melton was already in a state of season reimbursement. But it seems that Schroder's arrival with the Warriors has made Kerr's rotation even more chaotic. Also, I don't know why Waters is so favored by Cole.



Half a season has passed, and none of the problems exposed by the Warriors at the beginning of the season have been solved, but have become more and more serious, which can also be reflected in the record.


Speaking after the game, Cole said: "This was our most frustrating defeat of the whole season. "But in fact, I don't think the Warriors have any room to continue to decline, and the darkest situation may not be yet to come.
