On December 31st, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the Warriors suffer a humiliating defeat at home to the Cavaliers. Stephen Curry had a tough night, shooting 4-of-14 from the field and 3-of-11 from three-point range, finishing with only 11 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. He conceded defeat with a bitter smile 4 minutes and 39 seconds early. Dennis Schroder shot 4-of-11 for 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, with a negative plus/minus of -24. Draymond Green shot 1-of-10 for 2 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists. The three key players combined for a dismal 9-of-35 shooting, including 5-of-17 from beyond the arc, scoring just 25 points, making them the culprits of the Warriors' crushing defeat. In the first quarter of the home game against the league-leading Cavaliers, all eight of the Warriors' rotation players scored, but they only led the Cavaliers by one point, 27-26. During this period, Curry shot 1-of-4 and missed all three of his three-point attempts, scoring only 2 points and 2 assists. In the second quarter, the Warriors struggled offensively, scoring only 3 points in nearly 7 minutes as the Cavaliers took the lead. The Warriors' offense remained lukewarm, and they trailed 38-46 at halftime. In the quarter, the team shot 4-of-24 overall and 0-of-8 from three-point range, scoring just 11 points. Curry went scoreless in two attempts and recorded no assists. In the first half, the Warriors' shooting percentage was only 30%, with a three-point shooting rate of 16.7% (3-of-18), setting a new low for the season. Despite the Cavaliers committing…

The Western Conference has always been a fiercely competitive division in the league, where the win-loss difference between teams is often minimal by the end of the season, and a single game can determine whether a team makes it to the playoffs. Therefore, every game in the West is crucial. The Clippers have not been overshadowed in terms of attention compared to the Warriors and Lakers in the league. This season, after the departure of George and Westbrook, many people were concerned about the Clippers' prospects. However, under Harden's leadership, the Clippers have presented a surprising record so far. And recently, they received another piece of good news: Leonard, who has been out since the beginning of the season, is expected to return and may choose to come back in the next one or two games. With Leonard's return, Western Conference teams might start feeling nervous as the Clippers will immediately become a top-tier powerhouse. Although they lost George, Powell has performed exceptionally well this season, averaging 24.2 points, which is already at an All-Star level. In fact, his performance this season far exceeds that of Paul George, making him one of the Clippers' giants in a strict sense. After Leonard's return, the Clippers will still have a trio of superstars. Harden, Powell, and Leonard will set sail again for the Clippers. The significance of Leonard's return lies in the fact that the Clippers will have more players capable of deciding games in critical moments. As we all know, Leonard is a player with excellent clutch abilities, averaging 24+6+4 last…

Golden State Warriors' Future Leader: Kuminga The Golden State Warriors recently defeated the Phoenix Suns with a score of 109-105, swapping their records and moving up to ninth place in the West, avoiding consecutive losses. With a current record of 16 wins and 15 losses, it seems unlikely for the Warriors to win the championship this year, as Stephen Curry is aging and Draymond Green was never considered a cornerstone player. This may explain why the Warriors are reluctant to trade away future draft picks; the management may be relying on Curry to sell tickets for a few more years, saving on luxury taxes, and then rebuilding through the draft after Curry's retirement. Kuminga, who was almost traded last season, has now become an indispensable asset for the Warriors. If the team decides to rebuild in the future, Kuminga could lead the team's resurgence. At just 22 years old and already in his fourth year, he is younger than some rookies. Kuminga was selected as the 7th pick in the first round of the 2021 draft. In December, Kuminga scored over 30 points three times, including a game against the Houston Rockets where he scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, outperforming fellow top pick Jalen Green and leading the team to victory. He also scored 34 points in recent games against the Los Angeles Clippers and the Suns. In the game against the Suns, Kuminga played like a true assassin, scoring 34 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal in 34 minutes, shooting 12 for 20 from…

The Golden State Warriors have turned their fortunes around with a strong fourth quarter performance to defeat the Phoenix Suns led by Kevin Durant, ending a three-game losing streak and improving their win rate to over 50%, currently ranking tenth in the Western Conference. The Suns, on the other hand, have dropped to eleventh place after two consecutive losses. Devin Booker is still battling a groin injury, Royce O'Neal suffered an ankle sprain during the game, and Jusuf Nurkic has been suspended for three games due to fighting, leaving the Suns' future in question. However, while some are worried, Houston Rockets General Manager Rafael Stone is quietly celebrating, as they hold the right to swap first-round picks with the Suns. Based on current rankings, this pick is likely to enter the top ten, allowing the Rockets management to continue searching for talent in the draft. With 2025 being a big year for the draft, the eighth son of the Rockets is about to emerge. Recently, American media outlet "NBA Analysis" has suggested that the Dallas Mavericks should pursue Golden State Warriors' All-Star small forward Andrew Wiggins before the trade deadline. The media has provided a three-team trade proposal involving the Mavericks and Warriors, with the Rockets participating as the third party. If negotiations go smoothly, Klay Thompson could be sent to Houston as part of the deal. The specific trade plan is as follows: The Mavericks send Klay Thompson + Maxi Kleber + their 2031 first-round pick to acquire Andrew Wiggins. The Rockets send Jeff Green + Jock Landale +…

In the NBA arena, every game is like a war without gunpowder, and the matchup between the Lakers and the Warriors is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about and attention-grabbing focal battles. When the Warriors sit at home to welcome the challenge of their old rivals, the Lakers, the entire basketball world boils over. This game is not only a test of strength between two powerful teams but also a key battle concerning morale and rankings. The Lakers, then ranked seventh in the West, were moving forward with an unstoppable momentum. Looking back at their recent performance, they had won four out of five games, with the team in top form. The players showed great chemistry on the court, demonstrating a high level of skill in both offense and defense. On the other hand, the Warriors faced a completely different situation. In the same five games, they only managed one victory, with the remaining four ending in defeat, and their poor form had plunged the team into difficulty. However, the charm of basketball lies in its unpredictability. Despite the Warriors' recent struggles, they possess a deep foundation and a formidable lineup that no opponent dares to underestimate. This match was of vital importance to both sides. They both yearned for victory in this fierce battle to inject a shot of adrenaline into their team, boost morale, and launch an assault towards higher rankings. First Quarter Clash: Wiggins vs. James The whistle blew, and the first quarter officially began. Wiggins of the Warriors, like a drawn sword, quickly displayed his powerful…

The Golden State Warriors suffered a home defeat against the Indiana Pacers, a game that holds more significance than just the loss itself. Looking ahead at the Warriors' upcoming opponents, they will face the Lakers, Clippers, Suns, Cavaliers, 76ers, Grizzlies, Kings, and Heat in succession. Given this lineup, the home game against the Pacers was almost a must-win for the Warriors, yet victory slipped away from them. A 114-110 loss has left the Warriors restless. Losing at home to a team that isn't particularly strong is enough to disappoint fans. In contrast, the Clippers, despite being without their core leader and trailing by double digits on the road, managed a tough comeback to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies, who were second in the West with a relatively healthy roster, also with a score of 114-110. This comparison makes the Warriors' situation even more disheartening. In terms of record, the Warriors currently stand at 15 wins and 13 losses, ranking eighth in the West, but they only lead the eleventh-placed Phoenix Suns by 1.0 game. With the Warriors' challenging schedule continuing and ongoing issues with team cohesion, it wouldn't be surprising if they temporarily fell out of the top 10 in the West. Meanwhile, the Clippers have surpassed the Warriors in the standings with a record of 17 wins and 13 losses, creating a 1.0 game gap. The management's trading efforts are far from sufficient! Comparing the two teams, the Clippers have the imminent return of Leonard, while the Warriors remain with Curry as the sole core, leading to different expectations. From…

The Warriors have won, but they are truly in a state of panic! After the game, Curry's words ignited public opinion: "Winning a game cannot relax our vigilance; the Warriors' crisis has just begun." This thrilling 109-105 victory over the Suns not only saw the score tightly contested until the last second but also revealed the unease and hidden concerns behind the Warriors. This match was a crucial battle for positioning between the Warriors and the Suns. Both teams had identical records of 15 wins and 15 losses before the game, ranking tenth and eleventh in the West respectively. The loser would plummet into the perilous play-in tournament. However, despite having a full squad, the Warriors had only managed three victories in their past 15 games, showing poor form; the Suns were in even worse shape, with Booker injured, Beal struggling, and Durant unable to carry the team alone. Against this backdrop, this matchup was not just a contest of scores but a life-and-death struggle. At a critical moment, Kuminga stepped up! Coming off the bench for 34 minutes, he scored a game-high 34 points along with 9 rebounds and 3 assists. He continued his hot streak from the previous game, scoring 12 points in the first quarter and another 13 in the fourth. Especially in the final few minutes, he repeatedly drew fouls and stepped up to the free-throw line, helping the team complete the comeback and secure the win. Some say that Kuminga saved the Warriors and, more importantly, saved Curry. However, Curry's performance sparked heated discussions. He…

The Warriors and Lakers have recently made big news, with rumors of trading James to Golden State. The Lakers have expressed their willingness to let him go, but James himself seems to be hesitating, causing both sides to anxiously await his decision. The Warriors have had their eye on James for a while, wanting to pair him with Curry. This plan has been in the works since last season, with the management believing that if they can get these two playing together, winning championships would be as easy as child's play. Despite currently ranking fifth in the West, the Warriors feel that this is not enough. General Manager Dunleavy and owner Lacob are constantly thinking about how to find a helper for Curry, and they believe James is the best choice. In order to acquire James, the Warriors have gone all out, offering multiple first-round draft picks and even being willing to part with young players like Kuminga. This shows that they are truly serious about getting James. Green, an experienced player, has also been busy, constantly working on James and his agent Paul, hoping to convince James to join the Warriors and achieve great things. Curry is also very interested in this matter. The Lakers have not been having a good time recently, with their team performance continuously declining. Jeanie Buss and Pelinka have stated that if James wants to leave, they will not stand in his way. The Lakers' confidence in James leading them to a championship has waned, and the coaching staff even wants James to play…

Cavaliers Team Information Summary:‌ The Cavaliers currently have a record of 27 wins and 4 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference. They average 122.7 points per game, ranking second in the league, with the highest average shooting percentage and three-point percentage in the league. In their last game against the Nuggets, the team shot an astonishing 48% from three-point range, which is likely to drop in the next game. The injury list only includes Okoro, with all other players available to play. Seven players on the team have a three-point shooting percentage above 40%, with the lowest being Merrill at 35% and Mobley at 44%. In their last game, they defeated the Warriors 136-117, and although they will be playing away in the next match, they have a significant psychological advantage. Warriors Team Information Summary:‌ The Warriors currently have a record of 16 wins and 15 losses, ranking ninth in the Western Conference. They average only 112 points per game, with their average points allowed dropping to 110. On the injury list, Poole, Moody, and Payton are questionable for the next game. The Warriors have been in poor form recently, narrowly winning their last game against the Suns by 4 points. Coach Kerr's player selection has also been problematic, as he benched Li Kyle and Looney in the last game. Currently, the Warriors' biggest advantage against the Cavaliers is rebounding, but this advantage would disappear if they continue to bench their big men. They have had very low shooting percentages in the last two games, but they are expected…

The NBA's Golden State Warriors are once again embroiled in internal strife! On December 29th, during the home game against the Phoenix Suns, Draymond Green couldn't resist showing off his big mouth again. Seeing that Hield, who came off the bench, missed all seven of his three-point attempts, Draymond couldn't help but start ranting on the spot. This scene is all too familiar, just like when he previously confronted Poole and Durant. The Warriors managed to eke out a hard-fought victory, winning 109-105 against the Suns. Draymond Green played quite well, scoring 16 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and dishing out 7 assists in over 34 minutes, with a high shooting percentage including 3 out of 5 from beyond the arc. In contrast, Hield, who played for 14 minutes, seemed to be sleepwalking, missing all seven of his three-point shots and failing to score a single point, which was frustrating to watch. There was a hilarious moment caught on camera where Draymond unleashed a tirade at Hield: "Wake up, damn it! Or sit down and shut up!" His words were quite harsh. When asked about this after the game, Draymond went even further: "I told the microphone I don't care. Hield has too little experience in key moments; we need to make him understand what this means. Don't like it? Tough! That's why I have four championship rings and they don't." Fans are in an uproar, saying all sorts of things. Some say: "We just forgave Poole for hitting someone a few days ago, now we have to forgive you for…
