The Golden State Warriors handily won against the Los Angeles Lakers, 111-77, on Tuesday to extend their winning streak to 16, officially giving them the distinction of having the best start for the season in the history of the National Basketball Association. “In all honesty, it’s tough when the shots that I take, the pull-up shots, jumpers and contested jumpers, were tough shots to hit at 27”. “Oh yeah! This is definitely should be it, to me this is like a farewell tour”, he said. The worse part of that is that they did not get anything from Black Mamba who shot 1/14 in the field. The Lakers have struggled defensively since former coach Mike D’Antoni took over the team in 2012, and current head coach Byron Scott has done little to improve the predicament.

“I have to start out by saying the human side of me, so I’m in the locker room last night, watching the game, Van Gundy’s talking about the ’96 Bulls compared to this team”, Kerr said. “Do they think I’m happy?”
Scott also disagreed with the idea that Bryant’s minutes were taking a toll on his play.
Scott said he’s not going to reduce Bryant’s playing time because he has decided “how much he’s going to play per quarter and I’ll stick with that for as much as I can”. The 37-year-old is averaging 30.5 minutes per game, but red flags were raised when he logged 35 and 36 minutes in consecutive games last week. We feel like if we come ready to play every night, we should be in good shape.
Byron Scott says chemistry isn’t the issue, says they “all get along”, just “don’t trust each other on the court”.
The Los Angeles Times anonymously interviewed a bunch of people connected to the league and the feedback that they got on Bryant was unsurprisingly critical of Kobe’s game.
Things have not gone according to plan for Kobe Bryant in his 20th and potentially final NBA Season.
“I’ve got faith in Kobe, OK?” “So there’s obviously still milestones that we can continue to go after, but you go after them by how you approach each day”.
The Ohio State product said he is completely aware of the situation and he knows it is one of the challenges he needs to overcome as a rookie.

The Warriors didn’t get the win without Harrison Barnes suffering a sprained left ankle in the third that forced him to helped off the floor.
