A statistic that still hurts the Warriors a lot
Eight wins and no losses. This is the record for the Warriors when they lose fewer balls than their opponents. One win for eight losses. It is the opposite, their balance when they lose more.
A statistic that was confirmed last night by player Steve Kerr lost in miamiwith 21 turnovers against 14 for their opponents.
While leading at the start of the last quarter, the Warriors lost nine turnovers that Heath converted into 16 points. “I’m very, very confident we’ll get this right”, repeats Steve Kerr. « We solved that last year after Jimmy (Butler) came in. We have greatly reduced the loss of the ball. That will be the goal when we get home. »
The Warriors (9-8) return to the Chase Center on Friday to begin a five-game home series against the Blazers. In the end, their six-match “journey” ended with a balanced record (3 wins – 3 losses), but these avoidable turnovers left a bitter taste.
An offense that doesn’t play simple enough
“We have to do a better job as coaches of giving the players better spacing, better movement and better teaching all of that to make the decisions simpler.”continues Steve Kerr. “And they need to do a better job of making simpler decisions.”
In other words, the Warriors are taking too many risks and the offense is running out of moves. The result: a lot of clumsiness, either in turnovers, but also in shooting: 36%, including 26% on 3-pointers. Last night, Buddy Hield finished 7/20 on shots, Brandin Podziemski was 6/19, and Moses Moody went 3/12 on threes…
After this loss in Miami, the Warriors fell to 29th place in the NBA ranking of turnoversaveraging 17.1 per game. Even the Wizards and Hornets are losing less, and only the Mavericks are doing worse.
