Warriors’ Thompson, Barbosa game-time decisions

“After them winning a championship and me not wishing I was there, I knew I made the right decision”, said Scal. I will take the Warriors if Klay Thompson plays, but if he don’t I may lean towards the Celtics. “We’ve been in that mode since day one”. How many times are you going to get the opportunity to do that?

As usual, the coach’s theme was echoed among his players following the hour-long practice and short film session.

Be on the look out for Isaiah Thomas, who had a great game against the Bulls in their 105-100 win against Chicago.

At 13-9, the Celtics are comfortably placed in the race for playoff spots in the grueling Eastern Conference. “Hopefully, I”™ll get the same progress tomorrow, and I should be good to go here soon.”. “More than anything I’ve just been trying to get adjusted here in Boston”. “It comes down to us playing hard and protecting our homecourt”.

Golden States formula is easily explained, but not easily executed by the rest of the league.

The Celtics may be the best team in the National Basketball Association suited to slow down the Warriors’ incredibly offensive attack.

Jared Sullinger has pulled down 20 and 16 rebounds, respectively, in his last two games. “The way that they’ve started is incredible”.

It also helps the Warriors that they’re imagining critics and haters even when there aren’t many, if any. Nobody has conquered it yet.

“We are going in the right direction as a unit”, said Jae Crowder. Standing between them and the Cavs on Christmas is the Bucks twice, Celtics, Suns and Jazz, not exactly a fab four.

Following the game, Thompson told reporters that the ankle will be sore for a few days but he will be alright.

This is the Big Three that not only speaks for what has to happen tonight, but in the grand scheme of things it has to be who they become down the road.

The other: Letting Indiana back into the game.

“They’re not going to just go out there and outscore us”, he added, “because we’re a great scoring team as well if we move the ball”. It’s not the end of the world if Curry tears it up.

“It’s kind of one of those things where we have to police him a little bit, because he’s one of those guys who wants to play through anything”, Walton said.

Golden State has not played since Tuesday when they defeated the Indiana Pacers on the road.

The Warriors should be aware of the Celtics, but particularly coach Stevens.

We agree that the Cardinals clip the Vikings; Carolina remains unbeaten against Atlanta; Tampa Bay tops New Orleans; San Francisco slips by Cleveland; Detroit defeats the Rams; Kansas City clobbers the Chargers; the Jets top Tennessee; and Denver downs Oakland. “But we’re in the same league”. Whether they continue the streak and however far they go, it has certainly been fun to watch.
