Klay Thompson believes he is the best shooting guard in National Basketball Association

The Utah Jazz played Golden State tough, but fell behind in the second quarter and couldn’t quite catch up, eventually falling 103-85 to the Warriors in Oakland Wednesday night.

Starting forward Harrison Barnes is unlikely to play because of a sprained ankle and Kerr remains sidelined from complications from offseason back surgery.

We are only in December and there are many games left to play so the situation might chance in favor of Klay Thompson. “To not be coaching is probably the most frustrating thing I’ve ever gone through”. He has averaged 19.5 points in a game, as well as 2.5 assists, and 3.5 rebounds.

“Having coach kind of test it out, he looks good, looks energized”, star guard Stephen Curry said.

The Warriors’ second win over the Jazz this season was hardly impressive.

The last time these teams face one another was on November 30 in which Curry lead a fierce Warriors’ comeback in the fourth quarter to victory 106-103 in Salt Lake City. “I think it was just one guy”, Warriors center Andrew Bogut said Tuesday, a day ahead of the rematch with Utah.

Jazz: Utah went almost 6 minutes without scoring in the first quarter. You may have heard that they’ve had an okay start to the 2015-16 season.

That’s a bold statement from a player on pace to shatter his own one-season National Basketball Association record for 3-pointers, who had the Warriors off to a record 24-0 start, and looks set to smash the record for the best season in National Basketball Association history, the 72-10 mark by Chicago in 1995-96.

Last season was also a great run for the Warriors, who ended at 67-15 win-loss record.

The Cavaliers are a middling 6-6 SU and 5-7 ATS on the road, but should have little difficulty getting up for their meeting with the Warriors, who knocked them off in last season’s NBA Finals.

“When you get out with the cushion like Golden State has, you can go through a bad stretch where maybe you take an injury to a really valuable piece and you’re able to withstand it”, Van Gundy said.

It didn’t seem to matter much.

The Warriors shot 47 percent overall, but the starters shot only 41.8 percent. J.J. Barea had a career-high 32 points and added a season-best 11 assists for the Mavericks.

That’s what shined. The Warriors forced 20 Utah turnovers and turned them in to 26 points.

Bucks 113, 76ers 100: Giannis Antetokounmpo made his first 11 shots to finish with 22 points, Khris Middleton added 21 on 8-of-9 shooting and Milwaukee beat hapless Philadelphia. They’re on pace to win 79 games.

The evening’s second game throws together two heavyweights with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook’s Thunder taking on the struggling Bulls, tipped by many in the pre-season to be a real contender. Bonus points to the Pacers for also beating the Mavericks last week. But 8 points off of 15 shots isn’t so hot.

But Thompson countered immediately with a three-point play and then a 3-pointer, helping Golden State respond to its most serious threat of the night by creating a double-digit margin that became 16 before period’s end. Love was hurt when the Celtics’ Kelly Olynyk yanked Love’s left arm and dislocated his shoulder.
