Streak-breaker Bucks hand Warriors first season loss

When the Warriors play two bigs together like that, they can’t play at the same pace on offense and don’t have the spacing they need to operate at their best. They’re fighting ghosts, basically. It included two sets of back-to-backs, including the game against the Bucks a night after winning a double-overtime thriller against the Celtics.

Stephen Curry made 10 of his 21 shots to finish with 28 points, but was 2-for-8 from distance.

“What we’re trying to do is be an National Basketball Association championship team, and that requires a lot of work and getting back to the fundamentals and the basics”. “They’ll struggle under interim head coach Luke Walton”. Bayless has missed five straight games and six of Milwaukee’s last seven games with a left ankle sprain.

A year ago, with a huge lead in the standings for homecourt advantage already built up, Steve Kerr may not have handled that situation in the same way.

He’d have shown faith in his reserves to get it done to build team unity and trust and depth.

Because their opponent were the Warriors, they did indeed catch up several times throughout the course of the game, but for one of the first times this season Steph Curry and Co couldn’t match their opponents’ energy. If you lose, you lose. It is also the 3rd longest win streak of all time, right being the Los Angles Lakers’ 33 wins of the 1971 season and Miami Heat’s 27 wins in 2013 season.

Unsurprisingly, Smith’s teammate, LeBron James, did not share his public disappointment that Cleveland would not break the streak. Toronto’s very own, Drake, was forced to wait in a hallway outside the Warriors’ locker room with a gaggle of press grunts for a good half-hour – and was as he loitered helplessly – just to ensure he’d get the same small Newtonian dose of drive-by dap.

A big part of Golden State’s success on offense is their ability to read the floor and see where the defensive help is coming from. Giannis Antetokounmpo added a triple double of 11 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Irving is expected to play next Sunday, when the Cavs play host to the Philadelphia 76ers, one team source said, if not before. The Milwaukee Bucks delivered a 108-105 loss to the Warriors who were playing their 7th consecutive game on the road, revealing to a relieved league that the Warriors are human after all. The Warriors, in their one-of-a-kind sort of way, are making every game matter again. Can they maintain that intensity into late June without wearing down physically or mentally? Even when Wilt was averaging 50 points a game in 1961-62, his team didn’t win ALL its games.

“Why not? The Bulls did”, you’re arguing, but those Bulls were not defending champs. It was the Admirals’ first win over the Moose in four games this season. There are still other marks to chase.

What Bosh meant was the St. Louis Maroons, a baseball team that started 20-0 in 1884 for what was the best start to a season in the four major U.S.pro sports until now.

It was Milwaukee who ended the Lakers streak back then and they did it tonight. You worry they’ll melt their wings flying too close to the sun when the safer tactic would be just to sit Curry out against the Suns.
