Will the Warriors Lose or the 76ers Win First?

Either way, Golden State has some serious matchup problems and we haven’t even figured out who’s matching up with Pippen.

The Warriors winning streak is all the more remarkable considering it has been achieved without the presence of head coach Steve Kerr, who is recovering from two back surgeries.

It hasn’t been easy to be away as he heals. Or should I just say wins? The first one and the most important one is probably joy.

“We went by and congratulated each player”, Walton said. “The shots that I take, the pull-up shots and jumpers, the contested jumpers, those are tough shots to hit at 27, it’s very tough to hit them at 37”. 23, 1991. The Nets, of all teams, were a Brook Lopez lay-in from stopping this streak, and dealing the champs a defeat, on November 14 when they held Golden State to 97 points in regulation, only to fall in overtime, 107-99. “We’re trying to play at a high level every night”, Curry told TNT after the game.

Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and the rest of the Warriors are bigger than this record; they are proving over and over again that they’re even bigger than last season’s championship.

Mario Elie recently called Sam Cassell, his friend and current Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach, with a desperate plea: Please stop the Golden State Warriors. “You always wanted for this organization to be in this position”. Since then, they have not disappointed, reeling off another five wins against some stiff competition.

Oh, never mind. He just won a free haircut from Great Clips for everyone in attendance. “Why not?’ So we locked in and focused on it and were able to do it”. After that, the Warriors return home to host Sacramento on Saturday. “But we also reminded them that it’s November and we’ve got a lot more work to do”.

A 111-77 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night saw the Golden State Warriors make history, and it was simply another exceptional display from this group of talented players.

Reigning MVP Curry turned on the style as the Warriors extended their ideal start to 16 games, surpassing the previous best of 15-0 they had shared with the 1993-94 Houston Rockets and 1948-49 Washington Capitols. But it didn’t matter against the outmatched Lakers, who only got 4 points from Kobe Bryant as the veteran guard missed 13-of-14 shots from the field. He figures Golden State might need something to happen to keep things going at some point.

So, what’s the formula to beat a seemingly unbeatable team? Because if not it becomes so easy you just kind of coast, you kind of fall into a malaise.

The Warriors can extend their record to 17 straight wins on Friday night when they visit the Phoenix Suns.

Curry only had to play 30 minutes, taking a seat for good with 6.5 seconds remaining in the third to huge cheers from a sellout crowd of 19,596 that was really closer to 20,000 with all the standing-room only tickets sold.

Added Walton, “Anything’s possible. No. Eventually we will lose”, Walton warned. No tattoos to commemorate this accomplishment.

In 2008, the Pats made it to the Super Bowl on the heels of a 16-0 regular season but lost a shocker to the Giants, courtesy of David Tyree’s helmet catch.
