The Pistons lost to the Warriors with a score of 104-107, ending their five-game winning streak. The Warriors became the first team to defeat the Pistons in 2025! It's not that the Warriors played particularly well today; it's just that the Pistons were lacking a bit of luck. They were so close, just a little bit short, and Curry and Green, these two core players, almost helped the Pistons defeat the Warriors. Throughout the game, Curry shot 5 out of 21, made 2 out of 14 three-pointers, scoring 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists. Green shot 3 out of 9, missed all 3 three-point attempts, scoring 7 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. It's surprising that despite Curry's 2 out of 14 three-point shooting, the Warriors still managed to win. Do you think we'll see Curry return to his former glory this season? However, in the second round of All-Star voting, Curry did surpass Doncic and returned to the starting lineup. This is mainly because Doncic has been injured and out for several games recently, with no significant performance otherwise. Curry's performance this season has indeed been somewhat unsatisfactory! Averaging 22.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists, there is an obvious decline in scoring. Of course, Curry's popularity has also significantly declined, mainly due to the Warriors' poor record this season. And this year, the Warriors' struggles are no longer solely due to Curry's hard work without support from his teammates. In competitive sports, everyone admires strength! Curry's current situation is similar to Durant's. Do we all miss those…

NBA regular season is in full swing, and the league has officially announced the second phase of fan voting results for the 2025 San Francisco All-Star Weekend. Giannis Antetokounmpo leads with a whopping 2,721,339 votes, securing his position as the top vote-getter for the second consecutive period! In addition to him, 13 other players have received over a million votes: Jokic, Durant, James, Wenyang, Davis, Alexander, Curry, Doncic, Tatum, Towns, Ball, Mitchell, and Lillard. According to the initial voting results, the starting lineups for the East and West are as follows: The West features Jokic + Durant + Lao Jian + Alexander + Curry; while the East has Giannis + Tatum + Towns + Ball + Mitchell. In the first stage of voting, Giannis from the East surpassed Jokic from the West to become the top vote-getter. Now, Jokic remains the frontrunner for MVP, averaging 31.5 points (1st in the league), 13 rebounds (3rd in the league), and 9.7 assists (2nd in the league). However, Giannis (2,721,339) has further widened the gap with Jokic (2,277,723), gaining nearly half a million more votes. It must be said that the Greek Freak's popularity in the local area is still unparalleled in the league, and even a powerhouse like Jokic may not be able to stop Giannis from winning the All-Star vote again! Giannis remains firmly at the top of the votes, with no significant changes in the Eastern Conference starting lineup. However, Curry and Wenyang's remarkable rise has quietly changed the Western Conference All-Star starting lineup! Let's start with Curry in the…

On January 10, 2025, Beijing time, the Pistons with a record of 19 wins and 18 losses hosted the Warriors with an identical record. The Warriors were currently on a two-game losing streak and were eager for a strong comeback. The Pistons were playing back-to-back games (against the Nets the previous day), so their energy was not as good as the Warriors. However, they had won five consecutive games and were in excellent form. It would be very difficult for the Warriors to defeat the Pistons away from home. The Warriors were missing Wiggins, Kuminga, and Pojim, with their starting lineup consisting of Curry, Schroder, Hield, Green, and Davis. The Pistons were without Ivey and Hardaway, with their starting lineup featuring Cunningham, Beasley, Osal, Harris, and Duren. In the first quarter, Hield scored a layup, while Harris and Duren responded with five points. Green made a hook shot, but Beasley, Osal, and Cunningham replied, giving the Pistons a 12-4 lead. Davis and Curry then scored six points to reduce the gap to two points. After a timeout, Harris and Beasley extended the lead to seven points. Green, Curry, and Santos responded with a 9-0 run to take a two-point lead. Cunningham made a mid-range shot, followed by responses from Li Kaili and Davis, leaving the Warriors ahead by five points. Holland hit a three-pointer, ending the first quarter with the Warriors leading 25-23. In the second quarter, Curry and Santos hit three-pointers, extending the Warriors' lead to eight points. Holland and Stewart scored, but Spencer, Looney, and Hield responded, maintaining…

Why is Klay unwilling to end his career with the Warriors? What are the reasons behind abandoning the reputation of being a one-team player? The Warriors offered Klay a contract worth about $25 million per year, but he and his team were not satisfied with this figure. They hoped to secure a more lucrative deal based on his performance in the games. In the following two crucial seasons, however, his performance did not meet expectations. Despite this, the Warriors still proposed a renewal contract for two years totaling $48 million, which is undoubtedly a contract above market value for Klay at present. Recalling the previous five-year contract worth a total of 190million,thatwasbasedonthe190 million, that was based on the 190million,thatwasbasedonthe40 million standard in 2019. Klay seems to insist that his value is around $30 million and also hopes to obtain a long-term contract, which makes it difficult for the team to accept. If Klay's annual salary were $10 million, every team in the league would compete for him. If it were $15 million, championship-contending teams would join the competition. At $20 million, teams would need to consider carefully. And once it reaches $25 million, perhaps only the Warriors and a few other teams willing to pay high prices would consider it. As for a $30 million Klay, he might just have to find a cool place to stay. From an objective perspective, the renewal contract offered by the Warriors aligns with Klay's current market value and does not take advantage of emotional factors to lower the price. There were rumors that…

The Golden State Warriors have suffered another crushing defeat, which has seen them drop from eighth to ninth in the Western Conference standings, making their hopes of reaching the playoffs increasingly slim. Fans' emotions have shifted from initial anticipation to disappointment and anger. In particular, the team's performance in this game can be described as "self-inflicted." The lineup featuring three or four guards was once again deployed, offering little advantage against taller opponents. By the third quarter, the Warriors were trailing by 30 points, effectively sealing their fate in the match. Ultimately, they could only watch helplessly as their opponents clinched victory, while they were forced to surrender. What is even more concerning is that head coach Steve Kerr seems unperturbed despite the team's consecutive losses. Despite the dimming prospects for the team, he remains steadfast in his three-guard strategy, treating the outcome of the game as a minor episode in life. Fans are divided in their opinions, with many calling for him to step down, believing that under the current circumstances, the Warriors need new guidance and tactical direction. In a post-game interview, Kerr did not offer a clear reflection on the situation. He stated, "Losing is a common occurrence in the NBA; you must accept defeat as much as you enjoy victory." While this statement carries some philosophical weight, fans' patience is wearing thin. Kerr himself admits that the team lacked energy during the game and did not execute according to his tactical requirements. He mentioned that the "pass-and-cut system requires players to be full of execution and…

In the face of a challenging decision to potentially sacrifice their future for another championship run, the Golden State Warriors are considering an epic trade that has fans both excited and apprehensive. The team is reportedly planning a "7-for-1" deal to acquire Anthony Edwards, the core player of the Minnesota Timberwolves. This bold move could either reignite their championship aspirations or result in a high-stakes gamble gone wrong. The Warriors started the season with impressive performances, with Stephen Curry's hot hand and Buddy Hield's prowess from beyond the arc, complemented by the rise of young players within the team. Fans were hopeful, envisioning another championship title within reach. However, the team's fortunes changed quickly. Hield's form dipped, leading to crucial mistakes, and Melton's season-ending injury left a significant void. The team's reliance on Curry became even more pronounced, as he single-handedly carried the team forward. Despite his best efforts, the Warriors found themselves hovering around the play-in tournament spots in the Western Conference, a precarious position that raised concerns among supporters. Experts have suggested that the Warriors' struggles stem from a lack of a reliable scoring option. In the current NBA landscape, Edwards stands out as a formidable offensive force. His explosive athleticism and scoring ability make him a key player for the Timberwolves, averaging over 25 points per game this season. His driving skills and top-tier one-on-one efficiency pose a significant threat to opposing defenses. Despite his talents, Edwards has faced challenges within the Timberwolves organization. With the departure of Karl-Anthony Towns, he became the sole focal point, but…

The twilight of the Warriors dynasty: a major change in management, can Curry achieve his final glory? Can you believe it? The Golden State Warriors actually lost by 51 points in a regular season game! This has chilled the hearts of fans. The victory of the Memphis Grizzlies was like slapping the Warriors in the face, leaving them disoriented. After this battle, everyone is asking: What's wrong with the Warriors? Should management step in to put out the fire? When it comes to the Warriors, who doesn't know they are a legend in the NBA? Relying on Curry's divine shooting, their market value soared from 314millionto314 million to 314millionto9 billion in ten years, just like riding a rocket. However, this season, the Warriors started well with 12 wins and 3 losses, but then came a big slump, losing 9 out of 11 games, especially the loss to the Grizzlies, which left everyone stunned. Owner Joe Lacob and General Manager Bob Myers couldn't sit still; this wasn't going to work. So, management decided to get serious. Myers and Lacob expressed dissatisfaction with the current situation and began considering enhancing the team's strength through trades. Young players like Kuminga, Moses Moody, and Poole were put on the trading block. When this news broke, fans were in an uproar: Is management willing to risk everything? Are they really willing to do this to seize the last opportunity of Curry's career? To be fair, Schroder's arrival did bring significant changes to the Warriors. The World Cup MVP not only relieved some pressure from Curry…

The Warriors' season can be described as nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. Initially, they displayed championship potential, starting with a record of 12 wins and 3 losses in their first 15 games. This performance filled fans with hope, speculating whether the team was entering another golden era. However, the following 20 games saw the Warriors plummet into a slump, managing only 6 wins and 14 losses, causing their ranking to drop to eighth in the Western Conference. Despite active efforts in the trade market to bolster the team through acquisitions, there has been little improvement in their state. For instance, acquiring Schroder from the Nets was expected to address the lack of depth at guard, but the team's downward trend persisted. While management acknowledged that Schroder's arrival brought some positive changes, the Warriors were not satisfied. It is well-known that the Warriors have been seeking a reliable second-in-command for Curry. Initially, their target was Butler, whose skills and experience could significantly benefit the team. Unfortunately, their pursuit of Butler failed, and they were unable to secure this major player in the trade. Subsequently, management shifted their focus to another high-profile player, Cameron Johnson. The trade between the Warriors and the Nets initially appeared dramatic, as the Warriors needed to strengthen their frontcourt, and Johnson seemed like a suitable choice. However, the Warriors ultimately decided against the trade. According to insider Brett Siegel, the reason for abandoning the trade with Cameron Johnson was their unwillingness to part with too many valuable assets, particularly young players and draft picks. The Warriors'…

The NBA regular season is nearing its halfway point, and the situation in both the East and West is relatively clear. In the West, the Suns, who have the highest spending in the league this season (with salaries and luxury taxes exceeding $400 million), are unlikely to make the playoffs. Even if they eventually acquire Butler and trade away Beal, the Suns lack a defensive foundation and an offensive strategy that relies solely on individual play, which has even led to them losing their lower limit in the regular season. The Thunder are leading the way, while the Rockets and Grizzlies are rising strongly, slowly ushering in a post-James, Durant, and Curry era, where the new generation is taking over. On the Eastern side, teams beyond the top six are hardly worth watching as they rarely show competitiveness in the playoffs. The Magic can still hold onto fourth place despite missing two key players, showing an immeasurable future. In fact, many teams are affected by core injuries. For example, the Nuggets and Mavericks are completely different teams with or without their core players; including the Suns, who struggle to win without either Durant or Booker. However, there is one team where the overall performance is worse when the team leader plays, and that is the Warriors! This season, when Curry plays, the Warriors have a record of 13 wins and 16 losses; when Curry is absent, the Warriors' record is actually 5 wins and 2 losses. As Kerr puts it, this is obviously an accidental event, but all accidents have…

The Golden State Warriors have been struggling this season with a high number of losses and an inability to improve their win-loss record. There are several reasons for this, including inconsistent player performance and numerous injuries. Recently, Kuminga has been out due to injury, which has had a significant impact on the team. Prior to his injury, Kuminga was putting up career-best numbers and scoring over 30 points in consecutive games. He is expected to be out for at least three weeks, making this period particularly challenging for the Warriors. Kuminga has been the second-leading scorer for the Warriors this season, behind only Curry. Without him, the team's offensive scoring and defensive capabilities have significantly declined. New addition Schroder has not had the desired impact. While he averaged 18.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per game with the Brooklyn Nets, his averages with the Warriors have dropped to 9.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists. In recent games, Schroder has struggled with shooting, going 3 for 17 from the field. Hield has also been experiencing a shooting slump, with poor performances from beyond the arc in his last three games. Despite starting the season strongly, his scoring has been declining. This inconsistency may explain why he is valued at only $38 million over four years. With both Hield and Schroder struggling to score, they are unable to effectively support Curry in leading the team to victory. The absence of Kuminga further exacerbates the team's scoring issues. According to ESPN, the Warriors are not interested in trading for…
