Curry’s 40 leads 20-0 Warriors

Stephen Curry’s father was honoured by the Charlotte Hornets at half-time on Wednesday night. And so on and so on, until either the sun burns out or Steph Curry is carted off after dying of old age, what then?

The Warriors will try to continue to extend their wining streak when they travel to Toronto on Saturday to tackle on the 12-7 Raptors. That’s double the total Curry had last season in an MVP year. Why not just marvel at history and salute at the final buzzer? Guard Nicolas Batum led the way with 17 points, forward Frank Kaminsky scored 16. The team’s first-round draft pick saw increased action with Jefferson out, as did Tyler Hansbrough.

His dad, Dell Curry, was being honored by the Hornets at halftime. “He knows the ball’s going in before the rest of us”. He made eight of 11 from deep, and went nuts in the third quarter. He was 14 of 18 from the field, and eight of 11 from 3-point range. As road trips go, this one isn’t particularly grueling.

Against the 20-0 Warriors, who average 46.4 rebounds per game, 10-8 Charlotte (43.2 rebounds per game) fell short. What about the moment?

“It’s still a priority for sure; obviously there’s a lot going on right now”, Curry said. “You don’t want to take that support for granted”. He said: “I’m usually not at a loss for words, but I am with that one”. Which team has the biggest chance of ending their undefeated run?

Maybe the only prouder person in the place was Dell Curry. Dell was the 1993-94 NBA Sixth Man of the Year.

So, hypothetically, what happens if the Warriors just never lose again?

On Thursday, Curry was named the NBA Western Conference Player of the Month for October/November. “You have to make him work hard and hope he misses and have a bad day”. Benefitting from the good passing from Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. However, Curry’s alma mater Davidson College isn’t giving any preferential treatment to the reigning MVP. “There is a lot to be said about being 20-0 but we aren’t satisfied”. That was all in a night’s work for Steph Curry.

“It was a cool atmosphere to play in”, he said.

The soccer world has many great, prolific players, but Neymar is undoubtedly up there with the best of all current players, and possibly in the conversation for all-time. “They’re connected to each other”. By the end of it, the Warriors led 93-72 heading into the fourth, earning Curry a seat on the bench.

The Los Angeles Lakers inherited what I’m calling the Bizarro-Championship Belt when they lost to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, but now the Washington Wizards have that title as Kobe Bryant scored 31 points in his team’s 108-101 victory.
