Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics
“It’ll never be because 29 other teams didn’t draft me”.
The defending champs, Golden State Warriors, continue to lay waste to the National Basketball Association as they improve the greatest start to a season. He remembers all of Boston’s opponents giving the Celtics their best shot trying to break its streak and took a victory lap recalling his own efforts in helping end Houston’s run. The 1971-72 Lakers hold the record with 33 wins in a row.
The Bucks will play the Warriors on December 12 and are 5/1 to hand Golden State its first loss, while the Suns have 10/1 odds on December 16 and Milwaukee is 20/1 on December 18. “Whatever that means, however you got on that mountain, why not try to climb it?” But with injuries possible at any point, and a schedule that will only get tougher from here, an unblemished regular season is at best unlikely. “That’s how we’re approaching it. Every night we’re focused”. Obviously the way that they’ve started is incredible.

Curry, the league’s leading scorer, finished with 29 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and three 3-pointers, tying Rashard Lewis’ NBA record of 87 consecutive road games with at least one basket from beyond the arc.
“I’m his math teacher, so it’s OK”, Stettler said, smiling. The home crowd was cheering the visitors as Curry led a 26-point comeback against the Celtics. He can post a smaller guy.
“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”. They feature the most electrifying player in the league, Stephen Curry, who was last year’s NBA MVP en route to the 2015 NBA Title.

He said he never had problems with any of the players. Why else would I be playing? “And it’s something I’ve continued to work on as well”.
And as you watch the Warriors play, it’s clear that Green is not alone.
Former Warrior David Lee said he sees the same confidence in the Warriors that he saw when he played the Celtics in the years they had Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. “We trust in each other, we play for each other”.
