Butler 25+8 is difficult to save, Curry is absent from the Warriors, and the sixth place in the West is almost impossible to hold

The NBA regular season continues and the Warriors started their six-game road streak today, facing the Atlanta Hawks today, and they lost 115-124 on the road. Curry's absence had a huge impact on the team, they were opened up by the Hawks in the first quarter, and the whole game was pressed by the Hawks, although Butler scored 25 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists today, but still could not help the team win.

We can clearly feel that the current Warriors team is relying too much on Butler after Curry's absence. After Butler went off the court, the Warriors couldn't start their tactics, and they simply didn't have a good way on the offensive end. And today they were also very lax on the defensive end, and the Hawks played very easily on the offensive end in the first quarter. There were several players on the Warriors roster who were too weak defensively and were frequently targeted by the Hawks, and the game exposed a lot of problems for the Warriors.

Curry may miss a few more games, so what the Warriors need to worry about is who will be able to step up and solve the offensive problem after Butler is gone. After Butler got off the court, the Warriors' offense was very messy, and they couldn't match the opponent on the offensive end, so the score was pulled apart. So this team really can't do without Curry, and the team's entire tactical system has completely changed after Curry's absence.

With this loss, the Warriors are very close to winning the Clippers in seventh place in the West, and if the Clippers win their next game, they will overtake the Warriors to move into sixth place in the West. The Warriors aren't in a safe position at the moment, so every game coming up will be crucial. What the Warriors need to do is to stay focused on the defensive end at the beginning of the game, and if the Warriors had played the defensive form of the second half at the beginning today, maybe they would not have been pressed by the Hawks for the whole game, because they only lost by 9 points in the whole game, which proves that they played well in the second half, but they were too lax in the first quarter.
