The Warriors suffered a three-game losing streak after losing to the Mavericks. They originally wanted to take advantage of this favorable period of the home-court schedule to get into rhythm, but unexpectedly, the Warriors fell into a trough after a wave of five-game winning streak. What happened to the Warriors? Coach Steve Kerr concluded that the team was not united enough.
Cole certainly has coaching issues. Before playing the Mavericks, he suddenly changed his starting lineup again, replacing Podemski with Chris Paul and Trais Jackson-Davis replacing Looney. Kerr said his change was to improve defense while allowing Paul to free up Curry. The results of it? The Warriors lost 132 points. Curry made 3 of 11 shots in the first half and failed to achieve both goals.
Cole complained that the team made too many mistakes on the defensive end and did not communicate when switching defenses. He admitted that he missed Draymond Green, but since Green cannot play, there is no need to dwell on it. These are just tactical execution and staffing issues. Cole believes that in the final analysis it is because the team is not united enough.
"First of all, I like all the players on the team. We have a very good team. They have a good chemistry and get along well." Cole first gave a sweet date, and then he said, "But , we haven’t found that grit that every team needs, that you have to come together and play for the whole team. We haven’t, and that’s a problem. We have great players and we love everybody, but Until this team really comes together and puts its heart and soul into winning a game, we're going to be stuck in this position."
Cole's subsequent words, to put it harshly, he believed that the players "each have their own agenda." To put it nicely, "everyone has his own idea." Relating to Kuminga's previous complaints, Cole obviously had something to say.
Cole said: "You can feel it. The perseverance I am talking about is an intangible asset and it is difficult to describe. But when a team plays together, you can feel it. Everyone in the locker room is different. , there's a lot of pressure on everyone. If you're Curry, you're under pressure to stay one of the best players in the league. If you're Garuba, you're trying to stay in the league as a two-way player. Every Individuals have their own stories, and I care about every player and I want them to succeed, but what I care about most is that the team wins."
Cole's message is clear: No matter what personal appeal you have, now you need to put it first Put aside personal demands and play together to win for the team.
According to Podemski, the Warriors held a very open post-game meeting after the game, and the theme was that everyone needs to check their own energy.
Podemski said: "I think everyone needs to bring energy for each other and for the team as a whole."
