Golden State faced its first crisis of the season.
The Golden State Warriors lost to the Brooklyn Nets 120-128 in the NBA regular league during the 2024-2025 season at Chase Center in San Francisco, California on the 26th (Korea Standard Time). The loss caused Golden State to lose its second straight game and fall to second place in the Western Conference.
Of course, they can lose. The problem is, their performance was so poor during the recent two consecutive seasons. The teams that Golden State faced were the San Antonio Spurs and Brooklyn. They are evaluated as weak teams in a cold manner. They lost two consecutive games due to disappointing performance against such teams. The game itself was similar.
In a game against San Antonio on Monday, Golden State got off to a good start. Andrew Wiggins scored and Stephen Curry drove in the first half to end the game 50-38. The third quarter was similar. The problem was the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, San Antonio was overwhelmed with both offense and defense and suffered an upset loss. The score in the fourth quarter was 13-33.
It was the same with the game against Brooklyn on the day. Curry and Wiggins’ scoring shots enabled him to easily take the lead, and Moses Moody, who was on the bench, exploded and widened the score gap. He was leading 92-87 at the end of the third quarter. However, he showed poor performance in the fourth quarter again this time, allowing Brooklyn to come from behind. The score in the fourth quarter was 28-41, a second chance against San Antonio.
During the two-game losing streak, Golden State’s problems were clear. It was the ball handler when the benches came out. When the main player plays, Golden State shows off its strong defense and offense. Draymond Green takes the center of defense, and Curry and Wiggins are responsible for offense. Golden State’s main lineup can have an advantage compared to any team.
The problem is a 카지노사이트 battle. Coach Steve Kerr plans to have Brandin Pozemski, a second-year player, take the role of point guard when Curry and Green take a break. Pozemski has become Golden State’s hope since he appeared like a comet last season. He has scoring capabilities such as three-point shots and floater shots.
However, Pozemski does not seem to be able to play the role of point guard. Pozemski was good at shooting from the beginning, and he was the type to show off his pass senses that sometimes appear. It is not appropriate to coordinate games with point guards or to allow opportunities for teammates first.
Even Pozemski’s dribbling and ball handling are unsettling. Even when he crosses the half-court, there is a nervous scene.
Since Poseyemski plays the role of point guard, of course, the attack cannot be solved properly. At the beginning of the season, Buddy Hield exploded and offset it. When Hield’s outer gun went into the foot, there was no need for game coordination or point guard. However, as Hield’s shot began to cool down, the weaknesses that had been covered were so noticeable.
Poseyemski is no different from a player who has no strengths at the moment. His scoring ability and outer shot that he showed last season were cold.
Having averaged 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists with a success rate of 38.5 percent last season, Poseyemski has averaged 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists with a success rate of 36.8 percent and a success rate of 19.3 percent with a success rate of 3-point shots this season. The efficiency of the 3-point shot, which was the best advantage of the previous season, has dropped by nearly 20 percent.
For this season’s initiative of Golden State, Poseyemski’s performance was a must, not an option. The top of the foot was stamped on the axe he believed in.
Golden State tried to recruit many superstars this offseason. Paul George and Lowry Makanen were the targets. The reason why the recruitment failed was because he wanted to protect Pozemski. The opposing team demanded Pozemski from Golden State in exchange, and Golden State said it was impossible. If it is what it is now, it will hit the ground from Golden State’s point of view and regret it.
Of course, Golden State is currently ranked second in the Western Conference with 12 wins and five losses. It is doing much better than expected before the season. However, considering the tough schedule to come, the two consecutive losses to San Antonio and Brooklyn are a big hit.
