Could the Golden State Warriors Actually Go 82-0?
Barnes won’t play and at the posting time of this article, Thompson was a game time decision, but injuries aside (ahem, Marcus Smart will be out too, mind you), Boston has put together one of the best defensive back courts in the league with Smart, Bradley, and Crowder.
Jordan has set the mountain high, with 6 championships on two runs of three straight titles, only on top of his personal achievements, that included 5 MVP Awards, 14 NBA All-Star Game appearances, 3 All-Star Game MVP Awards, 10 scoring titles, 3 steals titles, and 6 NBA Finals MVP Awards to name a few. I mean, for Curry to be shooting 46 percent from three is a joke for how tough some of his shots are, and just tells you how great of a shooter he is and how good he is with the ball, because his are all challenged. That was a full season’s worth of wins, and now we have that in the first month and a half. I was bigger than everybody, but my dad and uncle always made me play guard; just to work on those skills in case I never grew again.
“But just the atmosphere in every arena we go to and the level of play, it’s like a playoff atmosphere every night”.
On a 27-game winning streak, the Warriors are just six wins shy of matching the ’71-72 Los Angeles Lakers for the greatest streak in pro basketball history.
I have a feeling all of these shows will be like this; we will have guests in the near-future, they will be very good guests, but right now we’re starting it with MT and me bantering about…
“It’s fun to try to chase something like this”. It’s not realistic, more than anything, and it is not going to be the team’s No. 1 goal for this season. What do you need to know about that game?
Golden State are also waiting to learn whether guard Klay Thompson, who is averaging 18.2 points per game, will be able to suit up as he recovers from a sprained ankle suffered on Tuesday – and his absence would be a major blow.
“If there’s any concern at all that his ankle is hurt, then we’re not going to play him”, Warriors Interim Head Coach Luke Walton said on Thursday.
The Celtics, who are third in the league averaging 28 3-point attempts per game, will be gunning for the Warriors. And former Warrior David Lee is now with the Celtics, so maybe he can break the curse Golden State has over the rest of the league.
Both teams have played better than expected in this campaign, with the defending champions going on a historic run as they are now unbeaten in their first 23 games of the regular season. Curry still can’t quite believe his team is undefeated, repeating after wins lately that its record doesn’t even sound right. But the strength of the Warriors’ opponents also goes up from here on out, with two games against the Cleveland Cavaliers and four matchups with the San Antonio Spurs highlighting that. “‘I felt like I was due for a game like that”. They were 33-8 on the road and 24-4 in the division.
All joking aside, prayer is a theme that comes up often when discussing the Golden State Warriors.
