Is the Warriors’ winning streak even worth it?

Over the summer, IN eschewed their bust-you-IN-the-chops style of big man play IN favor of the Golden State system and moving fleet-footed Paul George to power forward.

And, by the way, congratulations to the crowd who never abandoned ship on the Pacers despite the 28-point deficit at the end of the third quarter.

But George, now in his sixth season, also is appreciative of what Curry and the Warriors have achieved and the atmosphere they will bring to the arena.

Again, I don’t think the Warriors will go 82-0.

The five-time National Basketball Association champion will see out the remainder of the Lakers season, but with their current placing on the table, the playoffs ship has long since sailed for Bryant’s team.

Thompson sank eight of his three-pointers by half-time, a statistic which left team-mate Curry in a state of awe. That kind of shooting night is virtually impossible to overcome. “And we’ll be confident that we can still compete and win games”.

Ian Clark could be asked to make the first start of his career if neither guard can play, according to Walton, adding that he prefers that Andre Iguodala remains part of the second unit, especially as a veteran playing on the road. Cutting that insurmountable lead to six was a hell of an accomplishment. The team’s most important player, Draymond Green, had possibly his worst game of the season, and it didn’t budge the Warriors one bit. Given a choice of poisons, I’ll take the Splash Brother ESPN is not featuring in promos.

Warriors’ fans hope Thompson isn’t lost for long, as the team is entrenched in a historic run.

6 – Chase Budinger’s +/- was +18 during his 18 minutes of play.

But Vogel made it clear Monday there was one reason the Pacers could not duplicate the Warriors’ offense: only Golden State has Curry.

7 – The Pacers hit 10 more free throws and had five more field goal attempts than the Warriors.

Those numbers are impressive, and the analytics stats only strengthen the case for him being the best in the game right now. As soon as the Pacers started pressing higher, the Warriors cut into the lane, made the extra pass, and finished at the rim.

With 82 games in the regular season, half of those spent on the road, it is rare for season ticket holders to make it to all 41 of their team’s home games. He wants to continue working on limiting turnovers and improving efficiency.

The Pacers weren’t flawless last night.

“Yeah, they could do it – because they’re good”, said Bryant.

The Warriors shot the ball well at almost 55% overall, just over 44% from distance, but looked like the dominant team from about three minutes in and on. “But, if he feels good and the trainers say he’s good, then there’s a chance he could play”. The Pacers are a playoff team, not a championship contender. “We’re not far off. We’ve got guys that can put the ball in the hole, but we just collectively have to have that confidence”.
