Curry will advance in us! Warriors boss: The Lakers have lost, I am not disappointed!

With the Warriors losing to the Timberwolves 1-4 in the Western Conference semi-finals, their 2024-25 season officially came to an end. After yesterday's game, Warriors boss Lacob accepted an interview with the US media. He talked about this round of the series and left a lot of thought to the fans.

Lakob was in a complicated mood during the interview, both disappointed and a little relieved:

"This result is so disappointing. I really hope we can continue the series, and I..."

Speaking of this, he came to an abrupt end, perhaps because he was worried that the subsequent words would be over-interpreted as disrespect for the Timberwolves.

Authentic, the plot of this round of the series is full of ifs for Warriors fans. In the first game of the series, although Curry only played halftime due to hamstring discomfort, the Warriors still won the game with the team. However, from the second game, Curry was absent due to injury and the team lost four consecutive games, and was swept out by the Timberwolves 4-1 gentleman.

"I'm pretty sure we could have won this series if Curry could play."

Lacob expressed his beliefs without shyness. However, he also quickly returned to reality:

"But these assumptions are meaningless now." Although he stopped in the second round, Lacob still gave a positive attitude towards the team throughout the season. At the beginning of the season, the Warriors were struggling on the edge of the playoffs, with frequent chemistry and rotation problems in the team, and it was once considered difficult to enter the playoffs. But after the mid-term adjustment, the team rebounded strongly, not only making it into the playoffs, but also defeated the Rockets in the first round and successfully advanced to the second round.

"To some extent, being able to play to the second round is a victory. Yes, we lost the series 1-4, and this result is not good. But the Timberwolves are in good shape. They also eliminated the Lakers 4-1 in the last round, and the Lakers have two world-class stars."

"And we lost the most critical player. With these in mind, I can't be too disappointed with this result."

It is worth mentioning that as Curry retired from injury, Kumingga was re-promoted into the main rotation in the last four games. His performance is also the best response to trust, with four consecutive games scoring 18 points, 30 points, 23 points and 26 points, and he played very dynamically on both offense and defense.

In this regard, as a supporter of Kumingga, Lakobs kept saying:

"Tonight I heard the Timberwolves fans behind me talking about Kumingga all night. He was the only person on the court who could defend Edwards, and he defended quite well."

"When facing the Rockets in the last round, Kumingga was abandoned and fell on the brink of rotation. In this case, he did not complain or give up, but instead played a sense of presence in a higher intensity game. I admire him very much. Of course, he still needs to change. He is only 22 years old. He has unlimited potential, and I think he should be part of our future plans."

Of course, the Warriors' cap space and lineup structure will still face complex considerations, and Lacob did not give a complete answer:

"We still have a lot of assessment work to do. It's not necessarily me, but everyone from the coaching staff to the basketball operations department will sit down and discuss how to form a team for next season and how to deal with his situation."

This summer, the multiple-choice questions faced by the Warriors are still not simple. Lacob obviously doesn't want to list the word reconstruction as the team's goal, but at the moment when Curry is 37 years old, how long can the window period for the championship be held? No one knows the answer.

If Curry returns to health next season, if Kumingga can stay and continue to improve, if the management can find a suitable opportunity to strengthen, the Warriors may still have a chance; otherwise, the future of this old traffic brigade will not be optimistic.
