Ten Facts On The Warriors Historic Start

Asked before the game to compare Drummond with the greatest rebounders of all time, veteran Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said, “Dre’s as good as any, if not the best that I’ve been around.”… They’ve got our number. Especially with the way the Kings are struggling to create team chemistry early on in the season, the matchup should be a relatively easy win for the Pistons while they’re still trending up. When they give us that type of performance, it just makes us that much more risky.”TV: 8 p.m. ET, CSN Bay Area (Golden State), FSN Southeast (Memphis)ABOUT THE WARRIORS (8-0): Steph Curry has slowed a bit from the superhuman pace he set in the first six games, but the bench has picked up the slack”. It’s not like he didn’t change shots or block them, but the Warriors found a way around that, focusing on the weaker perimeter defense. “That’s something that’ll be decided once we know he’s 100 percent”.

Klay Thompson added 24 points, Harrison Barnes had 12, Andre Iguodala scored 13 and Leandro Barbosa had 10, including five straight to help the Warriors pull away in the fourth quarter.

With his ability to stretch the floor and draw attention, Golden State’s three-point attempts have increased to 30.7 per game, compared to 23.7 attempts through the first seven games past year. For the last two games Belinelli has shot 12/24 (.500) from the court and 6/10 (.600) from the beyond the arc, averaging 19.5 points a game. This won’t be interim head coach Luke Walton‘s decision to make alone, but we may be seeing something similar happen with Festus Ezeli and Andrew Bogut. At the end of the first quarter, the game stood at 27-15 to the Warriors.

That’s not the case anymore, and with Ezeli showing signs of having a breakout season, the Dubs might want to consider giving him the title of starter.

Optimism in Detroit this fall as the Pistons charged out of the gates to start their National Basketball Association season, and sit at 5-2 on this Tuesday morning. They lead the league in points per game (115.7) and point differential, which at 18.4 is almost twice the next closest team’s average margin of victory.

There were other star Warrior players between Barry and Curry, specifically Chris Mullins, who was another unbelievable pure shooter and all-around player that brought about many “oohs and aahs” in his day His retired jersey hangs in the rafters.

Golden State’s 8-0 start is the second-best in franchise history.

Forward Blake Griffin led the Clippers with 24 points and 12 rebounds.

Atlanta took a 107-106 lead on a basket by forward Paul Millsap but Wiggins – last season’s rookie of the year – converted a three-point play with three minutes remaining and Minnesota pulled away from there. Also, they have been doing it with Steve Kerr recovering from surgery.
