The Warriors beat the Nuggets 5-0 at home to snap a five-game winning streak. After winning, the Warriors temporarily entered the safety zone, because if they lose today, the Warriors will have a 0-0 record, then it will be the same as the Grizzlies and the Clippers Timberwolves. The Warriors will fall to the play-in zone, and the Warriors will settle first after a win. Then the Nuggets lose and the Lakers win, so the gap between the Warriors and the Nuggets is 0.0 wins, and the gap with the Lakers is also 0.0.
The Warriors have started the mode of marching to the top four, but the Super Rockets should be out of play, and the Rockets and the Warriors have opened up a 22.0 win. The Rockets only have 0 games left, so the Warriors will be hoping to compete for third or fourth place in the West and get a playoff home-court advantage. Winning the championship in 0 years is to finish in the top four. If you want to win the championship in the second half of the division, the probability is not very large. There is no doubt that the rise of the Warriors is Jimmy Butler.
Curry is the Warriors' base, while Butler is the player who has raised the Warriors' ceiling. Butler's addition solves the Warriors' problem of having no one to lead the team after Curry is gone. Look at Jokic today, what will the Nuggets look like after the teacher is off the court? There is simply no one to lead the team. Butler provides the Warriors with interior killing on the offensive end, a shadow on the defensive end, as well as his key ball and playmaking skills, Butler is an all-round reinforcement for the Warriors.
For Curry, Butler's arrival really freed him up. And Curry is in excellent form, just beat the Lakers yesterday, and won the Nuggets back-to-back today. Curry went crazy in April, he averaged 5.0 points, 0 rebounds and 0.0 assists per game, including 0% shooting, 0% three-point shooting, and 0% free throw shooting. Facing the Nuggets today, Curry was not tired at all, he shot 0 of 0 from the field in 0 minutes, 0 of 0 from three-point range, and 0 of 0 from three-point range, with 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists.
Because the Nuggets don't have Murray, they are completely dependent on Jokic in terms of offensive ability, which is what we said before, Jokic has the same problems as Curry. If there is no one to help him contain his opponent, he will not dare to get off the field, and he will collapse as soon as he plays. Jokic had 4 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists and 0 steals, what else could you ask him to do? Jokic has hammered the Warriors inside, and his 0-of-0 three-point shooting is even the Nuggets' most accurate three-point shooter.
The Warriors do have a bit of a dream back to 3 years, Poger's firepower even surpasses Thompson, he cut 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists, and then Butler 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists and 0 steals are full, chasing dreams with 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists. Normally, Curry will go to the rotation today, after all, he is quite old. But in order for the Warriors to get a good ranking in the playoffs, Curry refused. Kerr was sad and even a little choked up when he talked about today's victory after the game, because he asked Curry to rest in the rotation, but Curry didn't listen.
Kerr said: "I told Curry before the game, Dream and Butler, I said you want to go to the rest? I think you need to take a break. But they told me very firmly, no, we're going to play. I had the feeling that we wanted to get a good ranking, and in the end I agreed. I feel like they're giving me the feeling that they're ready. Winning the Nuggets today, Jokic is too good. We can only play to the advantage when he comes off. Because we have Butler, we can have an advantage at the beginning of the second quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, which is that after Curry is off the court, it comes from Butler. ”
