The star player has looked very lonely in the Warriors’ last games that have ended in defeat

From being in the first 3 places in the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors are now in sixth position, with a record of three consecutive losses and a worrying level of play.

What alarms the fans of this team the most is that in this irregular stretch they are going through, only Stephen Curry has tried to push them forward, but the team does not seem to support him and this has cost them three defeats that they seemed likely to win.

A clear example of this was the Dubs’ last game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, where Curry finished with 38 points, in which he tried to achieve victory, however, the other members of the team did not contribute enough points to achieve this goal.

That is why many wonder why the team depends so much on Curry? Let us take into account that the “Chef” does not have the same resistance as before and now he could look more exhausted in the final minutes, which would be a complete problem. , since if the rest of the team does not respond there will be no opportunity to add wins.

The lack of scoring by Klay Thompson, Andre Wiggins, Chris Paul and Draymond Green has been a very negative factor for the Warriors, who will have to adjust this aspect as soon as possible to avoid continuing to drop down the standings.

NBA, Steph Curry continues to make history, but his teammates leave him alone

After 30 points against Cleveland, Steph Curry scored another 38 with Minnesota, becoming at 35 years of age the “oldest” player to average more than 30 points and extending his streak to 11 consecutive games with at least 4 triples to start with a season (never happened before). His teammates, however, are not supporting him so far, as a worrying statistic clearly demonstrates.

Even though there were 35 candles to blow out on the last birthday cake last March, Steph Curry remains one of the best players in the league, and he is continuing to prove it by writing and rewriting the history books. With 30 points scored against the Cleveland Cavaliers last night and after 38 against the Minnesota Timberwolves last night, Curry became the “oldest” player to average 30 points in the first 11 games of a season, during which moreover, he has always scored at least 4 triples — also a streak never seen before to start the year (his record is 13 games, but in the current season).

Curry has hit 62 three-pointers so far, a pace that (if maintained, and at that age it’s difficult due to injuries) would allow him to shatter his own single-season record for three-pointers, reaching 462 (the record is 402). Even in terms of points he would be able to surpass the historic 2015-16 season (2,519 points compared to 2,375 that year) in which he won the MVP award unanimously. A simply incredible performance for a player who is turning 36 and doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of age.

Not even a teammate above 20

The problem, however, is that up to now none of his teammates are supporting him, at least from a production point of view. As reported by the NBA Central account, in fact, this season no other Warrior has exceeded 20 points, barely touched by Dario Saric (also a reserve) in the match against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The various Klay Thompson, Jonathan Kuminga, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Chris Paul have not yet managed to score 20 points in a game, with Thompson always in double figures but at most at 19 as well as Kuminga, while Wiggins has never scored above 17.

Although the presence of Chris Paul is managing to keep the Warriors afloat in the minutes in which Curry sits (the attack drops, but by less than 5 points per 100 possessions: in previous years it was much worse – if Golden State really wants to compete for the title and needs someone other than Steph to give his contribution, as demonstrated tonight in the home defeat against the T’Wolves.
