The Warriors are still resting on their laurels, Curry is tired, the lineup is aging, and young players can’t stand up.

The Golden State Warriors just lost to the Orlando Magic 113-121 on the road, suffering a regrettable defeat. In this game, Curry and Butler tried their best but could not lead the team to victory. Stephen Curry scored 34 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, and Butler also contributed 33 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. The two teamed up to score 67 points. However, basketball is ultimately a sport of five people. Except for Green who scored 12 points, no other player on the team scored in double figures, making the efforts of the two core players in vain.

Look at the performance of other players: Moody, who was in good form before, felt cold in this game. He made only 1 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line and only scored 6 points in the end. On the bench, the veteran Horford, who has high hopes, is not very efficient outside the three-point line. He also rarely tried many low-post singles and scored 9 points through free throws. Obviously this is not a game he is familiar with. As a space-based insider, Post completely lost his sights on the outside. He missed all three three-pointers and only scored 2 points. Hilder, who specializes in long-range shooting, was completely lost and only scored 2 points.

Kuminga, who had a brilliant performance at the beginning of the season, has recently been exempted from the game due to injury, making the team's rotation even worse. The Warriors have begun to over-rely on the performance of several veterans. What is even more worrying is that several young players who should have continued to improve, or veterans who should have stabilized the morale of the army, have declined to varying degrees.

In fact, hidden dangers emerged in the first two games against the Spurs, but they were covered up by Curry's two superb performances. The season is long, and it is not friendly to a team like the Warriors with an older main force. The team's current record of 9 wins and 7 losses requires some young role players to step up, otherwise the veterans will not be able to survive the end of the season.
