So much for Strength in Numbers… Steph Curry cannot do it by himself, but the Warriors are proving to be a front-running, top-heavy team.
Down double-digits to the Timberwolves and in danger of losing the sixth game in their last eight contests, the Warriors turned to Steph Curry at the beginning of the fourth quarter Tuesday night.
I still believe the Warriors are title contenders, though I wouldn’t blame anyone for jumping off that bandwagon at this juncture. If that’s what happens now, what can you expect from him in the playoffs should the Warriors find themselves in a jam? Now, I do think Poole is a solid NBA player with plenty of potential remaining, but his slump comes at the worst time. He hasn’t posted a 20-point game since Feb. 1, despite having a rather consistent role on the team.
The lack of depth at center is no doubt an issue as well. Kevon Looney has been great for this team, but Looney’s backups have provided less-than-zero resistance to opposing big men, amid this, the NBA’s big-man renaissance. If the Warriors are playing a team with a top — or even middling — center these days, they’re likely to lose. The last time they beat a quality big was Feb. 12, when Golden State beat Anthony Davis and the sorry Lakers by two.
