I thought this would be the night the streak ended, still early but not looking likely. This is just absurd at this point, it doesn't even seem real. Klay looks like he is one of those grooves tonight too, and I don't know how you beat them when he is in that space

I think they might be undefeated for the Christmas Day game and that would be absurd.

it's about time for him to be on though, dude is only avg 17 pts on 58%TS. he will have some big nights and tonight is one of those.

Best team I've ever seen. Not even close.

Curry and Thompson won the game in 3 minutes.

Klay with 29 at the half. 8 threes already, maybe he takes the record tonight.

Steph with a 20+ point 3rd quarter would not surprise me in the slightest.

To paraphrase Attack On Titan

On that day, mankind the eastern conference received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the Titans Warriors and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls home arenas.

A team that may very well be an order of magnitude better than anything we've seen in this league before. That's really saying something, considering there were only 8 teams once upon a time.

Looks like the Klay ankle injury might sink their chances at beating the record.

The bench deserves the blame for that, blowing a near 30 point lead

Curry 3/11 on threes? Can't be...

Klay with his best game this season.

Warriors are insane. Great comeback by the Pacers, but it seemed like GSW just let their guard down. Not surprising in the slightest, though. It has to be incredibly difficult to keep that level of concentration and intensity for 20+ straight games. I mean - I get bored when I win 5+ games in a row in NBA 2K, and just sort of let my opponent keep it close, hoping for an exciting finish, but to keep doing that in real life? That's "killer instinct" right there.

29 Points on 56.6 TS% and 10 Assists. Pretty decent game for him all things considered.

SideshowBob · Post #573 » by **SideshowBob** » Wed Dec 9, 2015 3:05 am

13.6 SRS after tonight's game by my count (Indy is a +5 SRS team, +3 for road, and +8 MOV tonight so +16 SRS today). I wonder if they can crack +14 again.

Anybody seriously think the Cavs can beat this team as currently constructed? Somebody talk me off the ledge

The way the Warriors are playing right now....its ridiculous. So many offensive threats

Great interview, some stuff about Nash, something else that caught my eye

is that he said that he isnt trying to get the scoring title.

says something along the lines as he only scores when he needs to.

He also doesn't really care about his efficiency. He always chucks up 3 quarter shots at the end of a quarter, or will try for the quick 2 for 1 opportunity.

Curry just being Curry. Good to see him getting a double double again, assists have been down due to how he's been played by opponents. May seem like a 'quiet' game, but Curry is one of, if not the most unselfish scorer I've seen, if there's a hot hand, like Klay tonight, he does everything to try to ride it.

While a few decades ago I saw some teams that were awesome... it goes without saying.. 23-0 to open the season is without precedent. There IS a chance GSW might be at Boston with both Klay and Barnes out injured. That.. might be tougher than the Cavs vs a healthy GSW at home. IF....guys get healthy GSW might even be unbeaten to start Jan. Usually.. ELITE teams I'd seen.. do lose a few to teams they SHOULD beat. GSW had some close calls.. and still pulled out the W. individually... and as a UNIT....GSW went from Champs..to better than that. You won't hear no more snarky from West rivals. It don't look like "got lucky" now. :roll:

Curry? Shooting ALWAYS was THE core skill in the game. The ball goes in... that changes the score. Most points always wins.
NOT oversimplifying or discounting ALL skills but ultimately....Better shooting is a very big plus.. and Curry is setting new standards. Dray Green? What the? The guy is nothing like what was supposed to be a PF now......instead... he seems to MORPH into..whatever works. Klay....may not match Curry, but at times gets even HOTTER. Curryphobia.... puts you D at a disadvantage vs Indy.... there were a BUNCH of lob+ dunk scores by Bogut + Ezeli. GSW's bench.. a bit shorthanded blew a big lead... GSW... however....just needs the WIN. Win by 20-30 is nice but on a long road trip.... you don't want any fatigue,burn out, injury.

GSW TRIES to keep Curry's minutes down. When that seems to blow a safe lead... Curry has a scary ability to return and do whatever. So.......GSW's streak.... may hit 30-0 I sure never imagined that.But right now? Looks possible... maybe even probable.

CURRY.....is a major part.
