The alarm bell for the Golden State Warriors has sounded because the Golden State Warriors lost to Hornets , and after the Pistons, their record this season has fallen to 3 wins and 4 losses. Although Golden State Warriors almost signed the players who helped the team play dominant in the finals last season after the playoffs last season, they looked different after entering the 2022-23 season.
Of course, it is the early stage of the season and we will still expect them to play Ai's better performance in subsequent games. Head coach Steve Cole expressed dissatisfaction with their style of play, claiming that the Golden State Warriors game looked like a game.
But NBA famous analyst Mark J Spears explained why the Golden State Warriors are struggling now, but before that Draymond Green explained the Golden State Warriors' struggle, saying that their offense is killing their defense, which is just one of the many reasons they are scared now. NBA analyst Mark J Spears recently on ESPN, he was asked what the biggest reason for the slow start of Warriors , and he gave his own opinion.
"Let's start with their defense. The Warriors' defense ranks second last in the NBA, only a little worse than Brooklyn Nets . They allow 122 points per game, they also make a lot of fouls, their overall defense is very poor, and they have made more than 125 points four times this season. Bench rotation is also a problem, they have two two-way players yesterday, Tejerome and Anthony Lamb. East Tevensonzo is still absent, and the you mentioned Klay Thompson is also absent due to injury. "
After the famous NBA analyst Mark J Spears said this, the Warriors' defense has actually ranked last in the league, because when Nets played against Pacers , it only allowed Pacers to score 109 points. This is the key to the Golden State Warriors' loss in the new season, because they averaged only 105.46 points per game last season, ranking third in the league. Their defensive rankings also show how bad they are, as they ranked 2nd last season and 24th this time.
As famous NBA analyst Mark J Spears said, Klay Thompson missed the game against Pistons because of rest, but you can't say that the Golden State Warriors missed him because his performance is the key to the Warriors' winning and losing. Klay Thompson averaged 12.3 points per game this season and shot 34.6%. As the season deepens, maybe his performance will get better, but now Klay Thompson's performance certainly doesn't look very good. His poor performance has led to their dilemma at the beginning of the season and has also caused Klay Thompson to be criticized by some media and fans.
