The 49ers have teams like the Browns and Lions on the schedule, but those are not sure-thing wins.

In addition, Curry is comparable to National Basketball Association greats with how he dominates the game using his unprecedented sharp shooting skills and dribbling wizardry.
“We both have a creative style, where it’s just about a feel when you’re out on the pitch or on the court”, Curry said. Lakers looked lost on both ends of the floor, Kobe had a quote after last night’s game that summed up the season so far “Coming down offensively & Not having a concept of what we’re trying to do”. “It’s not going to be total dominance for 82 games”.
The Warriors are not even halfway there and have shown some flashes of one-game vulnerability of late (a rough game against the Nets, for example).
Coincidently, the Lakers are the last team to have won 33 games in a row.
“So, we talk about 33”. “You can’t really get too far ahead of yourself”.
Walton referred to the 16-game winning streak as a “mini-goal”. For us to have to double that output, we’re going to play hard and, hopefully, close in on that record.
The Warriors are in good position to reach the feat. Kobe Bryant, meanwhile, averages 15.6 points on a pedestrian 31.1% shooting, along with 3.7 rebounds and 4.7 dishes. Only 5 out of their 16 wins have been by single digits.
“They neglected Kobe Bryant, left him to hang out and dry”, Smith said of the Lakers.
Comedy or tragedy, the Lakers have truly become a spectacle of the worst kind in so many minutes of their games thanks to a head coach who seems focused on defending why he’s not giving minutes to the team’s top rookie and even more viciously defending the free hand he’s given Bryant in destroying every possession with his pathetic attempts to latch on to greatness that’s long gone.
Smith continued: “I believe that it is over”.
As a study in contrasting fortunes, it doesn’t get much starker than the chasm that separated Curry and the Golden State Warriors as they romped past Bryant and the hapless Lakers on Tuesday.
“Because there are so many talented teams in this league and for us to just be playing at a high level right now that’s what we’re anxious about”.

“We’ll celebrate a little bit and then look forward to Friday night”. Walton, who replaced Steve Kerr in an interim-basis, said Curry and his former teammate Los Angeles Lakers superstar Bryant are the same when it comes to their respective “killer instincts”.
