This team can score, but the Golden State Warriors, through their first three games, have shown that they’re one of the NBA’s worst defensive teams. Against a Zion and Jrue-less Pelicans, the Warriors gave up 123 points. 123 is unacceptable.
After giving up 120 points to the Thunder in a blowout loss and over 140 to the LA Clippers in the home opener, the Warriors know that they’re struggling to find a good rhythm. Two-time MVP Stephen Curry made it clear that this defense frankly just is not good.
They gave up 27 points to Brandon Ingram, a player that’s an early contender for Most Improved.
