They are both the 2009 duo, and they are also an aging sunset team! Why are the Warriors more trustworthy?

The excitement of the start of the NBA regular season exceeded everyone's imagination. The defending champion Thunder started a difficult journey with two games and four overtimes. Although the Nuggets unfortunately lost to the Warriors, this year's Nuggets played healthier and finally no longer had an 8-man rotation. Although the Rockets lacked Van Jordan's start, Being able to play two overtime games with the Thunder shows that there is still a lot of room for improvement. The only two teams that are surprising are the Warriors and the Clippers. These two teams have the representatives of 2009 Harden and Curry respectively. What is even more coincidental is that these two teams are rare sunset teams in the league. However, the endings presented are very different.

If everyone voted before the regular season, I believe many people would choose the Clippers. After all, they maintained the lineup of last season and also made targeted reinforcements. The reinforcement of the fourth position and the expansion of the bench lineup are just proof. They were even rated as the most competitive team by the media. However, the Warriors next door are worrying. Kuminga's contract has been in trouble throughout the offseason. After reinforcements, there is no improvement in strength. Instead, there are signs of decline everywhere. However, after a few games, the Warriors and Clippers gave fans great surprises at the same time. Why is there such a difference? Let’s get into today’s topic together.

As the oldest team in the league, why did the Clippers lose to the Jazz, who are at the bottom of the league, while the Warriors were able to defeat powerful enemies? Of course, it is still the credit of Curry. Although the Warriors are old, Curry is the strength of the Warriors. As long as Curry is there, he can create countless shooting spaces for his teammates. Over the years, the Warriors' system has become very mature. With Curry as the core reinforcement, as long as it is slightly modified, it can be seamlessly connected.
So you can sometimes see an interesting phenomenon. Many rookies cannot achieve results in other teams, but they can easily achieve it in the Warriors. This is the role of the system. Of course, the most gratifying thing should be Kuminga’s change. He no longer plays without thinking. People, after adapting to the team's system, the Warriors have successfully become stronger. Although the Warriors' reinforcements are not obvious, it can be seen that every reinforcement of the Warriors is just right. It may not be the best choice to take it alone, but the system allows everyone to unleash their greatest potential.

It's a different story when it comes to the Clippers. Over the years, the Clippers have never lacked the determination to strengthen, but Leonard's desire to win has always been an insurmountable gap for the Clippers. Although the Clippers are very strong on paper, from the author's point of view, they prefer to fight alone and do not have much cooperation. Taken alone, the Clippers are indeed stronger. Unfortunately, they can never find a balance point.

What the Clippers lack is their own system. Let me ask you a simple question, who is the core of the Clippers now? Is it Leonard or Harden? It is undeniable that Leonard determines the upper limit of the Clippers and Harden is the bottom line. However, there is never a clear goal for the use of these two people. When the core team does not have a clear positioning, how should others play? This is the ultimate reason why the Clippers failed to perform after making every effort to strengthen.

Even now, the author still feels that the overall strength of the Clippers is stronger than that of the Warriors. However, because of the presence of Curry, the Warriors will definitely be able to play basketball beyond their own strength. However, if the Clippers want to improve, they still have a long way to go? What do you think is the gap between the Warriors and Clippers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
