Warriors Vs Celtics: Injury-Stricken Warriors Streak Ends Friday Night?
Considered by some to be the greatest shooter in history, Curry is scoring from the perimeter at an astonishing rate of 11.2 three-point attempts per game at 47.2 percent, compared to Jordan’s career mark of 32.7 percent.
During their ongoing road trip, Warriors became the first team ever to start 13-0 on the road. Thompson said the ankle remained sore and that he did not put much weight on it during the shooting drill.
There is bound to be a similar moment on the opposing bench if the Celtics can threaten the historic streak Friday night. “And that’s not talking bad, that’s just being honest”. “It’s just that number means a little bit more”. For Curry to be shooting 46 percent from 3 is a joke for how tough some of his shots are, and just tells you how great of a shooter he is and how good he is with the ball, because his [shots] are all challenged. “Any time you play the defending champs, you want to have an opportunity to play great”. This season, he leads all scorers by more than a 3-pointer per game and is still only 27th in minutes per game. Boston isn’t an easy place to play, and the Warriors are going to have their backs against the wall if they’re going to keep their record flawless. Boston has won six of eight games and has scored at least 105 points in five straight contests. The Pacers were amped to host Golden State, with players calling it the biggest non-playoff game of their lives, and Paul George saying it was a “must win”, blah, blah. “How we’re playing is just a fun thing to experience having been on the other side, so you appreciate every win along the way”.
Last season, the Golden State Warriors emerged as the most impressive team in NBA, engineering a style of basketball that many thought would not even work out.
This is something that needs to be watched, we are never going to see something like this again. I believe the best shot at this team losing will come on Christmas day when they play King James and the Cavaliers.
“We’ve got to handle the end of the game better”. “More than anything I’ve just been trying to get adjusted here in Boston”.
With all the talk leading up to the game, part of dealing with that hype is getting ticket requests. Shooting comes and goes, but they own one of the league’s best defenses, and they have won three of their last four games. They get you on back cuts because you’re anxious about the guards.
