Warriors’ Andrew Bogut diagnosed with concussion, could miss time
The Warriors center slipped his championship ring onto his middle finger Tuesday night in Oakland, making good on his promise that he’d wear the bling on the digit as a retort to those saying Golden State got lucky en route to winning the title previous year.
Curry’s 24-point first quarter paved the way for Golden State, though they had their work cut out in the second quarter.
ATLANTA (AP) – Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 21 points to lead all five Detroit starters in double figures, carrying the Pistons to a victory over Atlanta and ruining the opener of the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference last season.
The opposite happened, something that might have helped during a short span but not through 48 minutes of ball. “We were pretty focused, we tried to make the simple play early, shots went in, and we didn’t look bad”, said Curry.
Due to the temporary injury leave of head coach Steve Kerr speculation has surrounded the Warriors’ defending championship season. He gets his teammates easy shots, he’s competing on defense. Most impressively, the Warriors held star Anthony Davis to 4-of-20 shooting and out-rebounded New Orleans, 56-33. The game of the night promises to be Cleveland at Memphis as the Cavs look to avoid a 0-2 hole to start the season. “We’ll get it all figured out”.
Curry picked up right where he left off last season, going for 40 points last night. Steph Curry did it, so of course it’s cool. Thompson was 3-for-8 from the floor, notching three points from the foul stripe, adding four boards and three assists. He also had five turnovers. He spoke to the Golden State Warriors’ crowd. In his Pelicans debut, Kendrick Perkins battled Andrew Bogut down low and made all five of his field-goal tries for 10 points. So I thought we’d share a few of the Twitter highlights, which include plenty of overreactions, as most teams will have 81 games left to play after this. After trailing by 12 points in the first quarter, the Pelicans rallied to take a 44-43 lead in the second quarter as the Warriors’ bench struggled.
He did more than score as well, as Curry also dished out seven assists in addition to showcasing an array of 30-foot jumpers in tandem with soft finger rolls through the trees down low.
By halftime, Golden State was up by 10 points and was never again threatened for the rest of the game.
