Ideal Warriors surge past Bulls for 14-0 start
“They’re going to take the Lakers lightly, “Thompson said on ESPN’s “Thompson & Trudell.””.
Despite the speculations about Derrick Rose’s future with the Bulls and Joakim Noah’s increasing displeasure about his decreased playing time, the Bulls have surprisingly managed to jump into the fourth spot of this week’s power rankings. This is a team that is locked in and loosey-goosey, a risky combo.
Meanwhile, the Warriors don’t face another one of the top-5 teams in our rankings until they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas Day. Apparently, behind closed locker-room doors, these fellows laugh a lot. It was one of only two regular-season home losses last season. I picture the Warriors coming into town and feasting on a team that they not only should beat, but will beat.
Golden State, of course, has one game to play before the Lakers come to Oracle Arena.
From next door in the Warriors’ locker room, peals of raucous laughter rang out. “This is the biggest game of the season for them so far”, Walton said.
Aron Baynes’ Detroit side continued their positive season start, breaking their Minnesota hoodoo with a 96-86 win over the slumping Timberwolves as centre Andre Drummond dominated the glass yet again with 21 points and 11 rebounds. But whatever losses they suffer won’t be due to the pressure finally getting to them.
Kawhi Leonard scored 22 points for the Spurs, who lost for only the third time this season and had their six-game winning streak snapped. If he can become a threat on the offensive end for the Nuggets, he will take a huge burden off of Mudiay and Danilo Gallinari and will help open up more options for the offense. He said they were No. 1 without any doubts. “We have to continue to get better”.
“Absolutely not. Not at all”. And you know, it’s a process. The Warriors may want to match it just to keep this lineup intact. He convinced his team last season that it’s possible to be fast and smart.
The guard has scored 18 or more points in each of his last three games, averaging 20 during that span. Bradley now has five outings with 18 points or more in November. In other words, Curry is making the pass that leads to an assist better than anyone in the league, one of his unappreciated qualities.
The Best Lineup in Basketball is pace-and-space on hyperdrive – a spectacle that stacks up with the best the NBA has ever seen. Sure enough, through the first 11 games, Curry averaged 3.1 turnovers.
IN was on a three-game winning streak before losing a close game against the Bulls.
Any team that plays the Golden State Warriors is quickly realizing that they are in for a rough night.
But a few of it is just Curry’s attack/create mentality. Butler made no secret he was looking forward guarding Curry.
He was asked if the team’s fun spirit leads to winning, or if the constant winning creates the fun atmosphere. As a Golden State’s chemistry is light years above any opponent of theirs in the best championship in the world, but of course, this doesn’t guarantee anything, as another contender of the title can improve so much in the season that could be in the position to surpass the championship holders. Gets everyone’s mojo kind of flowing every night. “Hopefully that leads to success and to wins”.
