"The Warriors five-man team is on the rise, Curry leads the All-Star lineup, and Kerr's smart choice has reached new heights for the team."
The NBA regular season is in full swing, the trade deadline is approaching, and the two powerhouses of the Lakers and Warriors are still unsure of what the future holds. While the Lakers signed the experienced Dinwiddie to bolster their guard, the Warriors opted to maintain the roster and didn't make any other big moves after cutting Joseph. But the Warriors' management's self-confidence is not unfounded. Recently, the Warriors have been picking up form, with a 5-1 record in their last six games. The five-man duo of Curry, Kuminga, Dream Green, Wiggins and Podzemski had the highest goal difference in the league, surpassing the teams led by Carl Jr., Harden and George. This performance shows the strength of the Warriors and the confidence they have for the future.
Despite failing to win a championship last season, the Warriors' starting lineup has been one of the strongest in the league. However, this season due to the inconsistent form of Wiggins and Klay, as well as internal adjustment issues, Kerr has not been able to find the best starting lineup. It wasn't until the recent five-game trip that Kerr finally settled on a strong lineup. Kerr's use of small lineup tactics to replace Klay and replace Podzemski allowed the Warriors to be more flexible in key moments. In their most recent game against the Suns, Kerr's strategy was tested, with the Warriors' five-man team netting 38 over 100 possessions9 points, becoming the first in the league.
This Warriors quintee is not only great on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. Kuminga, Wiggins, and Dream Green are the Warriors' standout defensive players, and the trio build the Warriors' defensive system. And Curry's performance this season is even more remarkable, he can average 281 point, 44 rebounds and 4He had 8 assists and shot 42% from three-point range, averaging five three-pointers per game. Not only is he the heart of the team's offense, but he also creates more scoring opportunities for his teammates. The dynamism and efficiency of this lineup allows the Warriors to perform with ease on the court.
However, Clay has not been as good as he could have been this season. His offensive and defensive efficiency has decreased compared to last season and the previous two seasons, especially when he has poor hands, and his offensive choices have become more irrational, which has a direct impact on the team's overall offensive efficiency. As a result, Kerr's willingness to bring in substitute player Podzemski to replace the in-form Klay was one of the big factors in the Warriors' success. This decision shows that the interests of the team are above all else, and the meritorious players will also make sacrifices for the good of the team.
On the goal difference list, the Warriors are in first place, followed by the 76ers, Timberwolves and Clippers. The Clippers are No. 1 on the power rankings, but fourth on goal difference. In contrast, the Lakers and Suns didn't make the list because their roster didn't perform well in crunch time. The Warriors, on the other hand, have been reinvigorated with consistent performances and Kerr's smart choices, believing they can achieve better results this season.
Overall, the Warriors' five-man team has become a notable powerhouse. Not only are they great on the offensive end, but they are also great on the defensive end. Kerr's decision also brought new heights to the team. Let's look forward to the Warriors continuing to perform well in future games!
