Warriors guard Klay Thompson will not play

It was suppose to be a potential pitfall to the Warriors on their East Coast road trip. How many times are you going to get the opportunity to do that? After 12 minutes the Warriors were up 16.

So, no, this isn’t just another game.

“We’ve talked about that since the championship run”, Curry said. I was bigger than everybody, but my dad and uncle always made me play guard; just to work on those skills in case I never grew again. “I felt like I was due for a game like that”.

Some believed the Pacers, one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, could derail Golden State’s blistering tear through the league but the game wasn’t almost as close as the 131-123 final score suggests.

The hype has been building all week long and the time has finally come for the Boston Celtics to try to hand the Warriors their first loss of the regular season.

“We’re a confident group and they’re a confident group”, Crowder said. “We said to ourselves, privately, we want to break the streak right here, right now. We’re going to give it our best shot”. “That’s how we’re approaching it. Every night we’re focused”.

Make no mistake, the 2008 Celtics were a juggernaut that was three months from raising Banner 18. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t relish a chance to be a streak-buster. However, he suffered a sprained ankle towards the end of the game and was questionable to play against Boston. Isaiah Thomas is averaging 21 points and 6.3 assists while Avery Bradley is averaging 15.9 points and 2.5 rebounds. He can guard anybody at any position and has become one of the best defensive players in the game.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens said he will not alter the lineup for the night to counter reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Steph Curry and the heretofore unbeatable Warriors. Obviously the way that they’ve started is incredible. Heck of a challenge. Indiana’s reputation as a basketball state far exceeds the actual amount of people who consistently attend professional basketball games in Indianapolis, but on this night, Pacers fans turned out pretty well, putting forth a sellout crowd and far fewer Stephen Curry jerseys in the audience than I anticipated.

“Don’t undersell that part, right?” As Curry said, “What good is winning all of these games in a row when you don’t win the last game?”
