Warriors Set Record Season Start In Style

Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes runs into Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant as he tries to go to the basket, during their game in Oakland on Tuesday, November 24, 2015.

The Warriors were well on their way to doing so after taking a 30-11 lead in the first quarter, marking the fewest points they have allowed in any quarter this season. The Warriors won 111-77.

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. “I was asked a question about it and they said, how do I think they would do?” The Clippers hit their first four shots from deep, missed their next seven, but found the stroke again when Jamal Crawford hit a halfcourt shot to give them an 83-72 lead at the end of the third. The first one and the most important one is probably joy.

“It feels great, especially the way we did it. During the streak, we had some slippage and had some games that we didn’t play like ourselves”. “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”.

“The great teams are the ones that can focus on each individual game”.

Last season, Curry set the record for three-pointers made in a season with 286. “You always wanted for this organization to be in this position”.

They’re not just winning; they’re crushing opponents. There’s mindfulness. There’s compassion-for each other and for the game of basketball. “Hopefully it sends a message throughout the league that we’re here to stay”.

“We know how hard it was to win 67”, Curry told the San Jose Mercury news. After that, the Warriors return home to host Sacramento on Saturday. 23, 1991…. Walton confirmed before the game his auto was stolen last week in Oakland and he credited authorities apprehending and charging a suspect. You’ve got to celebrate it because you’re obviously a piece of history now, and we want to continue the streak.

Facing Golden State’s league-best offense, L.A. was even more flummoxed on the defensive end, with no Laker scoring more than 10 points.

Richardson, part of the 2007 “We Believe” team that reached the second round of the playoffs after ending a 12-year drought, has been a big supporter of Green, who took a similar path from Saginaw, Michigan, to Michigan State to Golden State.

The Warriors overtook the previous 15-0 record start by the Washington Capitols during the 1948-49 season and the Houston Rockets who equaled that tally in the 1993-94 campaign. Slight Advantage: Golden State.

And, given how things are going for the Warriors so far, betting against them seems like a foolish proposition. “Keep fingers crossed nobody gets hurt and just keep on going”.

My only reserve are the away games and tiredness, but Golden State are in such form that they can do anything to beat anybody.

That hasn’t been a problem so far.

“We didn’t start the season trying to do this and kind of fell into it a little bit in the last couple of games”, Bogut said after the Warriors defeated the Denver Nuggets on Sunday for their 15th win.

A sellout crowd of 19,596 that was really closer to 20,000 with standing-room-only ticket sales loved every minute of the latest milestone.

“Anything’s possible”, Walton said.
