Warriors chasing Jordan’s Bulls for National Basketball Association history

Golden State Warriors’ Brandon Rush, left, and Stephen Curry, right, prevent Los Angeles Clippers’ Jeff Green, center, from scoring during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Saturday, Feb. 20, 2016, in Los Angeles. San Jose Mercury News columnist Tim Kawakami wrote Wednesday, “the Warriors would have to be willing to part with Harrison Barnes, Andre Iguodala and either Andrew Bogut or Festus Ezeli”. Is this really going to happen? But the rest of the team can’t have a good night either, like they had against us and in so many other games.

“I know everyone is talking about how great Golden State is and we found out about it the hard way”.

Player of the game: Chapman, who was 12 for 17 from the floor, including 9 of 10 on three-pointers. Both their centers were hurt.

The 2000s saw a slight changing of the guard, where more superstars played shooting guard and small forward, although those players still needed the likes of Shaquille O’Neal to be the most important piece of the championship puzzle. “It would be really great to make that team”, Thompson said at the NBA All Star festivities. In many ways he’s kind of the key to everything we do. The AT&T Center has been a house of horrors for the Warriors franchise and should the Spurs and Warriors meet in the playoffs – most likely in the conference finals – the Warriors will need to exorcise those demons.

Following one of the Clippers’ best possessions of the game, everything went downhill.

Green is particularly opportunistic on a night like Saturday, when the Clippers’ defense sells out to guard Curry. “But Steph, if there’s anything underrated about him, is underrated defensively”. Will the Warriors get closer to that Chicago Bulls record of 73 wins or will the Clippers spoil the odds?

You go for everything you can with the current 48-4 juggernaut, and then you get ready to go for broke with Kevin Durant this summer. Better luck next time, Go Clippers!

“We try to do our best of just enjoying the moment and not bring any other drama or competition outside of just the accomplishment and excitement about being an All-Star and what that means”, Curry said.

This season, three-point attempts account for 28% of all shots in an National Basketball Association game, up from 22% in 2010-11. Jamal Crawford scored 25 points off the bench and DeAndre Jordan had 16 points and 21 rebounds for the Clippers. They’re incredible with the ball, cold-blooded without it.

The sprint to the finish is still weeks away, and the Warriors know they have their hands full beginning this weekend.

What would Kerr do if two of his players fought during a game? “With the short turnaround, we didn’t want to have any excuses coming into tonight, and we got it done”. The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Kerr imported a balanced staff: Alvin Gentry and Ron Adams came in with years of experience in the league, while two 30 year olds, Luke Walton and Jarron Collins were added as coaches who could relate with the players.

San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Cleveland seem to have the best chances to prevent Golden State from repeating, though the Warriors blew out the Spurs and Cavaliers last time they met.

Up until the flurry of mistakes, the Warriors had committed only 11 turnovers – a huge difference from the previous night when 20 turnovers contributed to a blowout loss. “Just All-Star break stuff”, Rivers said.

The Warriors saw the last of the Bucks, Pistons and Nuggets during the regular season, all of whom found a formula to slow down Golden State’s attack.

The Clippers are a still-stunning 19-6 without Blake Griffin.
