To them, it must already feel like they have.

With a win at Denver Sunday they can match the best ever start to a season of 15-0, achieved by Washington in 1948-49 and the Houston Rockets in 1993-94. We even talked today about monitoring those minutes even closer now that we’re having these back-to-backs as we get deeper into the season.
Although the Warriors are not the only people who aren’t concerned about breaking the Bulls record, as Dennis Rodman said that his Bulls team is better than this Warriors team no matter how well they do this season.
Damian Lillard had 27 points, including three key 3-pointers down the stretch, and the Portland Trail Blazers snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 102-91 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Even when the streak was in danger of ending Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Warriors erased a 23-point deficit to keep it alive.
“The tallest person, Draymond Green, stands at 6’6”. “And the team that beat us looks more hungry than we are”. “We can obviously talk about it and stuff, but talk about how hard of a task that is and how great that Bulls team was”.
“Whether they shoot well or not, that’s what fuels their offense – easy buckets in transition off turnovers”, Curry said. “It’d be a huge accomplishment because doing something that hasn’t been done in the history of the league is special”.
“There’s so many variables that go into winning this many in a row, especially at the start of the season”.
Golden State has won 25 consecutive regular-season home games since that loss, and Chicago still isn’t sure if it will have Derrick Rose available when it tries to win again in Oakland on Friday night.
The Warriors closed on a 25-8 run, taking their first lead since Curry’s 3-pointer began the game. That set the stage for Barnes’ heroics at the finish. “With that being said, every night is fun”.
Even the head coach, Steve Kerr, who has built that team, doesn’t even need to be there -due to the problem with his back- and the interim head coach, Luke Walton, has applied with the most appropriate way his mentor’s creation.
“We had a very brief discussion (about the coaching job), but it really didn’t get anywhere”. We want to close games at home strong. They love the moment. “When it’s winning time, it’s incredible how well our guys rise to the occasion and bring home the win”.
But on the super-small lineup’s first possession, Curry hit a three. On this night, it was Barnes instead of Curry delivering the final heroics.
“Once you win a title, you own confidence through 82 games and into the playoffs”, Rivers said.
Jimmy Butler led the Bulls with another all-around effort, scoring 29 points with 9 rebounds and 7 assists, while Kirk Hinrich’s 17 points were the most he’d had in a game since October 2014.

In particular, Griffin’s struggles in the fourth quarter, coupled with Jordan’s inability to impose his will on the game this season have critics claiming that the squad does not have enough talent to challenge the upper-echelon of the western conference. But Iguodala, Shaun Livingston and Festus Ezeli came off the bench to provide a few much-needed energy.
