We are witnessing history every time the Golden State Warriors take the floor, pure and simple. He’s followed Green’s ascension into one of the NBA’s best all-around players, a path that started back in MI, where Green was leading Saginaw High School to back-to-back state championships.

The Warriors, who tied the 15-0 card of the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and 1993-94 Houston Rockets on Sunday, set a new record with their 16th win in as many games this season and they were hardly threatened.
Gary Neal scored 23 points off the bench for the Wizards, whose three-game winning streak was snapped. It always has been in the sense that the end of the season is how title contenders will be judged, not the beginning.
“We’re a young team, very hungry and we’ve got great veterans that won’t let us be complacent”, Thompson said.
The Warriors can extend their record to 17 straight wins on Friday night when they visit the Phoenix Suns. Something early in the season of a team playing for June had become undeniably important.
Curry was so dominant last night, he nearly made Jordan Clarkson fall over at one point during the game.
While the Dubs “are looking reasonably decent when compared to” the Bulls, they still have their work cut out for them to get to 72-10. Isaiah Thomas scored 14 points as the Celtics, who began the game ranked ninth in opponent scoring, allowed a season high in points.
The Chicago Bulls hold the record for most wins in a season. Or should I just say wins? “We accomplished it. Now we have to make sure we don’t drop off and give away a game just because we broke this record”. 806 for 70, .839 for 72 and. Both players shot 50 percent from the field for the night.
The road trip is a different animal, and Walton said he will be resting players more, especially on back to back games.
They are virtually unbeatable at home, have the kind of diverse roster that can beat you in different ways and while I know they won’t go 82-0, I also don’t know when they’ll lose. So is it likely? Of course not. Anything’s possible.
Re: lack of defensive effort: “You’re going to play hard or you’re going to sit. No. Eventually we will lose”, Walton warned.
Seventy-three is way out there, with Walton tempering the growing excitement, but no longer an unimaginable number.
“Like Klay [Thompson] said a couple days ago, we are genuinely addicted to the feeling of winning and doing whatever it takes to get the job done”, Curry said.
“They’re a better team than we are”. It’s still November (25th).

“There are 66 games left”. We have to keep that going but still continue to develop our flow and our execution and our mindset as we go through the season. “We had some games we didn’t play like ourselves”. “Hopefully it sends a message throughout the league that we’re here to stay”. They may be better off starting Stephenson and trying to convince him he’s their defensive stopper. All the while, the Warriors will be burying three-pointers and celebrating in your face, thoroughly enjoying the fact that they’re one of the most unstoppable forces in the history of the National Basketball Association. Since retiring, Richardson has kept tabs on Green, who he considers a little brother.
