Average of plus-minus values ​​-3.4. Is the Warriors inside rookie really bad when facing the Rockets?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors 131-116. After this game, the Rockets tied the total score of the series to 2-3. Next, both sides will return to the Warriors to prepare for the G6 series at home. It seems that this round of series still has suspense.

In this game, the Warriors' substitute center Quinten Post's performance was obviously not ideal. Post played 13 minutes and 55 seconds in the game, made 2 of 4 shots and 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, scored good data of 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks, and had 3 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -14. Post got some points on the offensive end, but his problem on the defensive end was too serious. Post's personal defense ability is seriously insufficient, his ability to protect the basket is very limited, his movement speed is slow, he lacks enough defensive coverage, and his performance in rebound protection is also a mess. In just over 13 minutes of playing time, he kept fouls on the court, and he had no way to effectively limit his opponent. The plus or negative value of -13 can prove how bad the team's situation is when he is on the court. It is no exaggeration to say that Post's poor performance also led to the Warriors' defeat to a certain extent.

In the NBA regular season this season, Post played 42 games in 82 games, averaging 16.3 minutes per game, averaging 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 77.8%. So far in the playoffs, Post has averaged 19.6 minutes in the first five games, with averaging 6.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.6 blocks, 0.8 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 32.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 31.8%, and free throw shooting percentage of 75%.

Post's performance in these games cannot be considered without highlights, and we can also see that he works very hard. However, the reality is that his offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage are a mess, and his performance on the defensive end in most games is not satisfactory. To date, Post's average plus or negative value per game is -3.4. Considering that the Warriors are still leading in the big score, this further shows that his negative impact on the team on the court is visible to the naked eye. Post is actually not a player with a ability to meet the playoff standards. He does have certain characteristics. At some point, he can indeed use his shooting ability to play the role of the surprises, but like now, he gives him stable playing time in every game, which directly leads to the Warriors often falling into crisis.
