Bulls put up a decent fight, but they weren't making anything down the stretch. The Warriors did. The Streak continues.

Game against Chi felt like a playoff game.

It's not exactly bulletproof logic, but all the same, I kind of enjoyed that remark from The Worm. :lol:

To be fair it will be a team like the Lakers that end the streak, it will be a team that they take there foot off the gas for when they see there record.

I think all it takes is one AWFUL game from Curry but so far his bad games have been great games by other player's standard.

Barnes is rolling and klay seems to be getting up to speed. They can afford to have Curry to have off nites

Yep, probably. But still gonna be a tough job if he goes for Kobesque 5 for 20 shooting with 5 TO.


So the Warriors could rewrite the history in coming Tuesday.

As it stands, they have the best start of any defending champion. Now, they go for the best start, period. You do have to wonder when they'll lose, and how many they'll lose overall.

I think at some point, someone is going to figure out a way. A few teams have come really close, before letting the opportunity slip. When the league's best teams figure out an effective counter-punch, I do think we'll see them drop a few.

I don't want to see it happen any time soon. The nba regular season is such a long grind. Hard for teams to prepare for a given team one day and then another team the following day.. Especially the GSW offense

My guess is it happens randomly. Could be a schedule quirk where they are playing the 4th game in 5 nites and their opponent is coming in fully rested

Imagine if GS lost there next 15 straight, being the 1st seed and then dropping to about 10th place. How crazy would that be!

Gotta have someone athletic enough to keep up with Curry and an answer to Draymond Green at the 5. Can anyone else play both sides of the floor better as a small ball 5? I'm struggling to think of anyone except LeBron James, so I'll say they lose to Cleveland. Curry will have a field day with Cavs backcourt though.

Green's versatility on defense is awesome.

scroll a bit down

when they go small- how do you defend that? all 5 guys can hit the 3.

Probably the only team that I can say can beat the Warrior's streak with a straight face is OKC with Durant available. Look out for the Westbrook-Curry matchup.
