22-23 NBA regular season continues today. Warriors collapsed 109-116 to Heat and suffered three consecutive losses. Currently, the Warriors' regular season record is only 3 wins and 5 losses. The poor defense is the impression the Warriors give this season. The following three points may be the reason for the Warriors' poor defense this season.
1. Bad strategy
The Warriors' defense this season still has many details. The players' rotation is not fast enough and they are too recycled to protect the inside. These are all problems with the Warriors' defensive strategy. The Warriors still subconsciously feel that their opponents will definitely not make 3 points, but in the current league, tying three-pointers may be the best defensive strategy.
2. The ability to decline
If you want to improve your defense, it is difficult for players without individual defense skills to do it. After Payton Jr. and Porter left, the defensive ability of the Warriors' second lineup has dropped a lot. In this season's game, the Warriors' normal situation is that the main players win the ball and lose points. Thompson is also very weak on the defensive end this season. It is really difficult for Cole to change the status quo.
3. A slack attitude
This season, everyone should have seen too many scenes of the Warriors' eye defense. I personally think that Thompson is the most relaxed on the defensive end this season. He seems to always think that his teammates will definitely help him fill the position, and often lose defenders and get a step forward by his opponent. Thompson now has not met the standards on both offense and defense. Will the Warriors continue to let him continue like this?
