It sure helps that they have the MVP on their side.

Stephen Curry continued his explosive start to the season, scoring 53 points to lead the undefeated Golden State Warriors to a 134-120 win over New Orleans on Saturday. “We are a team that has championship aspirations and for us to do that, we have to win”. For those who don’t know, I’ll go to ANY sporting event, especially the one’s that involve the teams that I support. “We answered the bell”.
Hughes writes, “This year’s improved version of the Warriors is the only team in history to outscore its first four opponents by a combined total of 100 points”. His teammates are worth a mention, players like Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes are all key to his success.
Paul had 24 points and Blake Griffin added 23 as the Clippers came back from 17 points down and took a 97-87 lead with 7:56 left.
“Golden State, Sacramento, who has four days between games waiting for us, Portland, Utah, Clippers, then we go home to play Golden State, Houston, then Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Dallas and San Antonio”, he said. “They’ve always picked us up”.
Barnes hit a pair of 3-pointers to start the spurt.
Last night’s contest again showcased the dominance of Curry and the pedigree of the Warriors as a whole. He raised his arms to the crowd after a 27-footer made it 103-99. The Warriors are the first National Basketball Association team since the Chicago Bulls in 1995 and ’96 to open consecutive seasons 5-0.
“If [Dahntay Jones] gets suspended, they may not even notice…He got a few camera time, which he needed because there wasn’t much celebration from their bench today, so you didn’t see him much”.
Curry continued his season-opening tear with 30 points in three quarters, and he now has 148 points through the first four games.
With Curry relegated to being a cheerleader and Shaun Livingston running the show at point guard, the Warriors still closed the quarter on a 12-2 run. C Andrew Bogut (concussion) missed his second straight game.
Curry has scored 179 points, the most through five games since Michael Jordan had 182 in 1991-92.
Curry is also averaging 5.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game. After preserving a strained right groin that’s frivolous John did not perform the ultimate 13 seconds.
Rivers said he did not believe the injury was serious but he didn’t want to take any risks.
CLIPPERS CENTER DEANDRE JORDAN “I think we can compete with not just them, but anyone”.
Courtney Lee called it “childish”, and Tony Allen, well, Allen’s full quote can stand on its own – he even gets a “White Men Can’t Jump” reference in there. “But it’s too early in the season for that”.

It was a lot closer than the last one, but a win is a win. I’ve never seen anybody broadcast losing. I’m just saying, I could have bought tickets in the lower bowl for cheap mom if you told me sooner.
