“I’ve been a diehard fan for 20 years and I know they’re going to do it”, one fan said. ‘I think we only celebrate in June.

“If they doubted us before, we won the championship so it didn’t matter”, Green said Monday. “We’re playing against a great team.”… Golden State, who are led by Steph Curry, need only to beat the Los Angeles Lakers, a team that is struggling horribly, in a game from Oakland on Tuesday night in order to break the record for most wins to open a season. And the Warriors have led by an average of 10.5 points per game when heading into the fourth quarter, so they’re getting out to leads and holding them in crunch time.
“We didn’t start the season trying to do this and kind of fell into it a little bit in the last couple of games”, Bogut said after the Warriors defeated the Denver Nuggets on Sunday for their 15th win.

“I think it truly speaks to what Steve Kerr came in and did, because it’s just a reflection of the system and the atmosphere he built when he got here previous year”, Walton said.

“They’ve been consistent and they have been playing at a high level for so long”.
Klay Thompson contributed with 21 points, and Harrison Barnes chipped in with 17 points and four assists in the historic win. Golden State unleashes bench celebrations that rival their alluring play on the floor. They led by as many as 21 in the fourth. “Then there would be a conversation to talk about”.
Instead, Curry has been a driving force to the success under interim coach Luke Walton. Curry is on pace for a record-setting 404 3-pointers and his 490 points through 15 games are the eighth most in the league in the past half-century.
Curry and his teammates see no reason to slow down now. “Now that we’re at 15 let’s get 16”. “If they don’t doubt us now and we lose, it doesn’t matter. It’s only within our control to take care of what we can, and that’s winning games and having confidence and belief in ourselves”.

Nuggets: Before the game, coach Michael Malone equated the Nuggets to being the “Washington Generals” – the usual opponent for the Harlem Globetrotters – because the television audience wants to see the Warriors and “nobody is here to see us”.
