Warriors’ Klay Thompson questionable for Celtics game Friday
Thompson’s injury came on the heels of his best performance of the year, as he scored a team and season-high 39 points in the victory with 10 three-pointers.
The Warriors next test is a road trip against the Boston Celtics on Friday, followed by a trip to face the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. At 23-0, the Warriors own the best regular-season start in league history, breaking the old mark of 15-0 a couple of weeks ago.
They’ll handle a loss if it comes at any point, but they also love that they have the nation’s attention with this streak. I can’t wait to play the champs. The team is just six games away from matching the all-time record held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers, which is 33- game winning streak.
Antetokounmpo admires what the Warriors have accomplished. “Going in I felt great, I felt like I was due for a game like that”, Thompson told the Daily News.
“Besides being a player, I’m a fan of the game”. But it was to no avail as Golden State marched on.
Like all National Basketball Association coaches, Walton sometimes has tough talks with players about their roles and their minutes.
“We’ve got to figure out what our spice is”, he said. I don’t think there is any pressure on us.
Despite the latest victory, Curry was disappointed in the play by his team’s reserves in the fourth quarter and lamented the fact that Thompson appeared to hurt his ankle after being forced to re-enter the game.
The Warriors are a juggernaut with a thirst for winning that is rarely seen in defending champions. I’ve seen a lot of the highlights, though.
In an interview with ESPN, Curry said: “You can try to copy it, but you won’t have the personnel”. “The insane part is his ceiling seems to keep climbing”. “We feel the best way to get through long seasons and have a healthy environment for getting better and succeeding is to have fun”. Not everybody can do that. “I’m looking forward to it”. Curry is the league’s top-selling athlete in more than 40 states and the NBA’s top-selling player overall, a Fanatics spokesman said. Anywhere sports are being discussed, that’s where you’ll find him. But he notes that those conversations never lead to anger and “never manifest into something detrimental to the team”. “He’s playing at such a high level”.
Yesterday the Golden State Warriors showed that they were not done with their flawless season. When the season began, George said he wanted the Pacers to be considered one of the better teams in the league. If you put your small-ball lineup next to ours, we like our chances. He may not be there yet, but he’s now in a dead heat with LeBron, and that’s progress from last year’s finals. “There isn’t another Draymond Green, another Klay, another Andre. That has worked well for them”. Not with the way the Golden State Warriors are playing. They’re putting guys out there who can play multiple positions. Curry believes the Warriors are different from Mike D’Antoni’s Phoenix squads because their offense isn’t completely centered around him. “It’s something they’ve been very successful with, so why stop it?”
