Jeppesen grew up in a family of Utah Jazz fans but began cheering for the Warriors a few years ago after being drawn to Curry, a smaller player he could emulate.

They’re also similar because they are entirely disrespected.
Though Kevin Love looks significantly more comfortable now that he’s in his second year working alongside LeBron James, he’s still too much of a sidekick to comfortably earn one of the coveted top-25 spots. “It’s not. We have to go out there and play the right way and continue to build off of [the Chicago] game”.
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. George, though, has been nearly as impressive. He also shot 10 for 16 from 3-point range while shooting 62 percent from the field. A victory would have given the Pacers the best record in the East.
“Coming into this year, we all had to accept the challenge of getting better because the league got better as a whole, both in personnel and individually”, Ezeli said. “If there’s any concern at all that his ankle is hurt, then we’re not going to play him”. “I think that’s something that every team can learn from”. “They were excited about this game”.
Vogel spent much of last summer redesigning his offense to play at a faster pace with Roy Hibbert and David West no longer on the roster.
Captivated by the Warriors from afar, thousands have streamed into arenas to root for the defending National Basketball Association champions as they march through this season undefeated, a flawless 23-0 heading into Friday night’s game at Boston.
But Vogel made it clear Monday there was one reason the Pacers could not duplicate the Warriors’ offense: only Golden State has Curry. “‘It is wonderful what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.’ That is perfectly applicable to this team, because everyone is genuinely happy for each other when we succeed or when someone is down, everybody picks him up”. “We know how good they’ve been playing”.
“You can’t react to that stuff”, Vogel said. “Isaiah’s quickness gives a lot of guards trouble in the league, and his ability to not only be quick, but to make shots as well… he’s going to be a tough match up going the other way”. “So you’ve got to embrace it, just appreciate the moment”.
Do you want 73 [the Bulls went 72-10 in the 1995-96 season]? But it takes work to do what the Warriors are doing. His list, as one would expect, was rather long.
The Warriors didn’t just come to Christianity as a team during their success.

Ezeli said that the team’s depth has been one of the keys to this early run. “We know they’re an explosive team watching them (Wednesday) night, we know they’re never out of a game and they have a pretty strong punch, so you’ve got to be ready for 48 minutes really, especially on the road”.
