National Basketball Association 2015: Stephen Curry Says Teams Can’t Copy Warriors; Here’s Why
An 82-0 regular season, as fun as it might be to talk about as long as the Warriors keep winning, is not going to happen.
For the Golden State Warriors, it would have been easy to start this National Basketball Association season unfocused and a bit caught up in the mass hysteria that’s comes with being the defending champions. The San Jose Mercury News reported on the Warrior’s team-wide Christian faith in 2013 just before the National Basketball Association playoffs, at the time only their second playoff appearance since the 1996-97 season.
Golden States formula is easily explained, but not easily executed by the rest of the league.
The Celtics have been a defense-leads-to-offense type of team, and that has to be the case Friday night. In his first five games in green, Thomas averaged 8 three point attempts a night; against Golden State, he shot 3-for-11. He also dished out 10 assists and picked up three steals on the defensive end. Brandon Rush will continue to start in place of Barnes and Ian Clark will replace Thompson in the starting rotation.
The Boston Celtics are looking for a big statement win to build on some early-season momentum. But if things go the way they’ve been going for the 23-0 Warriors, the little setback will just make Thompson’s ankle stronger. Golden State defeats IN 131-123.
The Celtics outscored the Bulls 54-44 in the paint in Wednesday’s victory, moving to 5-1 this season when they record at least 50 points in the paint. From Salt Lake City to Boston and all stops in-between on their current seven-city trip, the Warriors are drawing huge crowds clad in blue and yellow. Every possession has to be played with great goal by the Celtics, allowing them to have a shot at great execution, which is essential to winning tonight.
It’s to the point where one has to wonder if there’s a team out there that can beat them. Expect that streak to stay unbroken as the Atlanta Falcons fly into Carolina to face the Panthers this weekend. Regardless, enjoy the ride Dubs fans! That’s where the Celtics find themselves in Year #3 of the rebuild. “I played guard when I was a kid”. They play the game the way coaches around the globe try to teach it. Stephen Curry is the best player on the planet right now. They were 33-8 on the road and 24-4 in the division. “They’ve got to stop us as well”. And while the players have tried to be even-keeled and nearly subdued in their approach to this game, they have to play with great emotion and passion. While I agree that the Redskins will fall in Chicago, Im taking the Giants over Miami and Philly over Buffalo. Others hypothesized about Toronto on December 5 or at IN last night. Later in the season when they hit an inevitable slump, sure.
Thats my upset pick of the week, Broadway said. The way we share the ball and what it does for our team, offensively and defensively, it’s very unusual, but it is true.
