The Warriors' defensive stalwart will be abandoned, and even opponents will find it incredible, and Kerr will dig his own grave

The NBA regular season continues, and today the Warriors host the Mavericks, who lost 133-143 to the Mavericks. The Warriors' defense was terrible in this game, allowing the Mavericks to score 143 points in the game. It was arguably the Warriors' toughest game on the defensive end of the season. Although Curry had 26 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, and hit 7 three-pointers, he was still powerless. Because the Mavericks have both of their shooting percentages of more than 50% in this game, and the three-point shooting rate is as high as 51.2%.

So it's hard for the Warriors to win in such a game, and today Doncic scored 45 points, and Thompson also scored 29 points and hit 7 three-pointers. Irving scored 21 points, and the Big Three combined for 95 points in the game. It's clear that the Warriors' lineup today is a complete failure on the defensive end.

But when we take a closer look at the Warriors' roster today, there's one player who hasn't been used by Kerr, and he's arguably the best defender of Doncic in the entire NBA. He's Lee Kyle. In this game, Li Kaier was activated, but he did not get a minute of playing time and was discarded. This surprised many fans, and even the Mavericks reporter questioned after the game, why didn't Kerr use Kyle Lee? Is he abandoned?

The reason why the Mavericks reporter asked such a question is because in the playoff matchup between the Mavericks and the Timberwolves last season, Lee Kyle was so effective in restricting Doncic that it also caused some problems for the Mavericks coaching staff at that time. So the Mavericks originally thought that the Warriors would focus on sending Lee Kyle to guard Doncic in this game, but today instead of letting Lee Kyle mark Doncic, they even abandoned him directly, which is incredible to the Mavericks reporter.

Could it be that the role of Li Kaier will not be as good as that of Podemsky? This is where a lot of fans have been questioning. Kyle Lee is also a defensive stalwart in the league, especially when it comes to defending Doncic. If Lee Kyle had been on the court today, the Warriors would have been able to play such a poor defense, and it would have been impossible for Doncic to score 45 points. Podemski was useless on the field and even had a constant side effect. But today he also got 16 minutes of playing time, which should have been allocated to Lee.

Kerr sometimes uses people really hard to figure out, and the Warriors have lost many games because of Kerr's misuse of personnel, I don't know what fans think?
