San Francisco – Welcome to the Basketball Purgatory, Warriors.
Or should “Welcome” say?
Yes, the Warriors will participate in the NBA game tournament for the third time in five years.
They just have to blame that.
Everything was so avoidable, this additional game or two Warriors will have to play this week.
And regardless of the result of this week mini-termination that leads to the playoffs tournament, everything is so terrible unfavorable for the hopes of the Warriors fading title (can you see a flicker?).
This team could not take care of business when the business proved to be the most important.
How does that play good things for playoffs, if the Dubs arrive?
The Warriors lost to the Clippers 124-119 in extra time on Sunday in a final of the regular season that was as intense as a playoff game.
It was a bad loss for the Warriors, who had a four -point advantage with just under two remaining minutes in the last quarter, but did not talk about a major problem. His opponent was a playoff team of the playoffs with two Warriors of the Families Hall, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, at All-NBA levels. Leonard scored 33 points on Sunday. Harden was for 39 points.
No, you cannot scare on the wrong side of a high -level game like Sunday to even the Warriors (correctly) hated their offensive execution of the late game.
The Warriors’ problem was that the fate of their season lasted until Sunday’s game.
Less than a week ago, we were having reasonable conversations about the Warriors who land a seed among the first four at the West Conference and organized game 1 of a first -round playoff series, such as the rise of the team since the Miam Trade Dadler fromler fromler fromler fromler fromler acquired.
The warriors celebrated and celebrated for their excellence in the middle of a truly “significant” basketball.
They could have a bit high Goths in their own supply.
Because when the games had the greatest meaning, they slipped. The finish line is still in front of them, just after 82 regular seasonal games.
Once again, Sunday’s loss is understandable, perhaps only acceptable, if he narrows his eyes hard enough.
But the defeat at Wednesday’s house against the San Antonio Spurs? That has proven to be unforgivable.
The Warriors lost their last three games at the house of the season, with a bad execution of the games in each.
After Wednesday’s defeat against the Spurs, the Warriors star, Steph Curry, said: “A good team takes care of business by the next two [games] And it goes from there. We have to show that we are a good team. “
So what does that do to Warriors who go to an additional game on Tuesday?
We know where he leaves the warriors: in despair mode.
The Warriors were empty at night in Sunday’s game.
Certainly they were not executing offensive sets. Curry spent the last minutes of the fourth quarter and all the extra time trying to dribble through three, four, five clippers as if it were a challenge to recreate a prominent shot of all time as of March 2015.
Defense? Credit to Clippers’s shooting game skills, but Los Angeles made four of their five shots in the last three minutes of regulation on Sunday, sending the game in extra time, where they touch total control.
All the time, Curry (37 years old) was being thrown like a shock test doll while breastfeeding a right thumb, Dryond Green (35) Tok a head success in the first half and was on the head head game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game Game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game game. Gost Gost Gost Gostard Gostard Gostard. (35), who failed to score from 8:23 in the fourth quarter to the last minute of extra time, tok a blow to the left thigh from Leonard at the end of the extra time he left limping well after the game ended.
And that was just a playoff game. It was just a view of one.
Tuesday brings another view.
And if this team can find any form that I had a few weeks ago, a third comes on Friday in a set of profits or house against Dallas or Sacramento.
The warriors could have avoided all this.
They could also have used a little rest.
Now, they will receive a marginal amount at best.
Green said the Warriors will be ready for Tuesday’s game: “We are not older citizens,” Green said with great gray patches in the beard. “Train all year for this. There is no lack of respect for the elderly, by the way. We love our older people … but we are not there yet, so we will be fine.”
Green may not see himself already his team as about the hill, but I will say this:
These game games that Warriors seem to play every year are, surely, aging.
