The Warriors' home loss to the Nuggets today was a sad game because it was a great opportunity for the Warriors to stretch the gap between them and the Timberwolves. Moreover, today's game for the Nuggets was without Murray and Jokic, and it was supposed to be an easy win, but the Warriors finally lost to the remnants of the Nuggets by 9 points.

Curry's performance today was very sluggish, shooting just 6-of-20 from the game, including 4-of-13 from beyond the three-point line. The other seven mistakes were also fatal. Butler played a very well-rounded performance today, with 23 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, but he still couldn't help the team win. Today, Green Payton Jr. and other players performed very well, Green scored 10 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Payton Jr. scored 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting. But Hield's individual performance today was very bad, scoring just two points on 3-of-3 shooting from beyond the three-point line in 21 minutes.

Attentive fans should notice that Hield has tended to be very poor against some very physically confrontational games. It seems that Hield simply can't play a high-intensity game, so this has many fans worried about his playoff performance. Indeed, we can see from Hield's resume that his playoff performance is indeed very poor. That's why the 76ers gave up on him, knowing Hield was a regular-season player, not a playoff player.

So the Warriors have to find a good replacement for Hield. When Hield is completely out of step in the playoffs and completely limited by the opposition, who should they let take Heeld's role. The playoffs are about defense, and if Hield can't shoot on the offensive end in the playoffs, then he's a side effect on the court.

Even today, the Warriors also exposed another problem, that is, Post's complete lack of defensive ability under the basket against some high-impact players. Today, Aaron Gordon continued to attack Post's basket defense, so Kerr didn't dare to let Post play for too long today. He only played 8 minutes in the whole game.

After Post went off the court, the Warriors' ability to protect rebounds on the inside became even worse, so what the Warriors need to think about is how they can build interior defense and ensure rebounding if Post can't count on it in the playoffs.
