It will be intriguing to see what kind of season Golden State ends up having this year when everything is said and done. It’s prompted debate from current players, former players, coaches, analysts, and fans. Curry was brilliant, which would seem redundant, possibly even boring, if not for his propensity to unveil a new trick every game. Strangely, this game marked the first time this year that the Jazz played two straight games at home. They have fantastic individual defenders, such as Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and Ron Harper.

Although the Jazz are a decent three-point shooting club, we’re probably living in a fantasy land if we think Utah can beat Golden State in a three-point shoot-out.
The question these days shouldn’t be whether the Warriors are better than the 1996 Bulls, because it’s possible they’ll break the 72 win record whether they’re better than that team or not. “It was a dream come true to win one MVP, win one championship, but that fuels the fire to do it all over again“. If you didn’t know better, it would have been easy to confuse Ian Clark for Curry in the first half. In many ways, Dallas play similarly to the Warriors. Since a six-player lineup is clearly against both National Basketball Association and societal rules, the Jazz will have to make due with the off-court sixth man. But that doesn’t mean that the Warriors are just going to lay down without putting up a fight.
The Warriors aren’t talking about either of those milestones yet, and they shouldn’t. The team is about to embark on a long road trip to the east, but they have the chance to stay undefeated throughout the month of December. Rudy Gobert had a nice night on the boards grabbing 11 rebounds.
The Warriors are off until Wednesday, when they travel to Charlotte, North Carolina, to take on another strong defensive team, the Hornets.
Thanks to trading away Stephen Jackson to the San Antonio Spurs for Richard Jefferson, the Warriors acquired a second first-round pick.
The Golden State Warriors went into Phoenix Friday night with their historic season-opening winning streak on the line.
The Warriors also had a 53-30 rebounding edge.
In Denver, Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points.
So far, no one has been able to top them.
Webster averaged 9.3 points in 186 games, including 75 starts, with the Wizards, who signed him as a free agent before the 2012-13 season. Aldridge and Duncan are a monster duo, even if Duncan is still inching incrementally towards hanging it all up. The Warriors are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
But this season could be different for the Cavs.
And with 27 consecutive losses dating back to March, the Sixers now own the record for the longest losing streak in North American major professional sports.
Barnes said he’s good with the plan to be cautious about getting back.
A bigger problem for the Jazz is how few shots they take from deep.

Meanwhile, Stephen Curry humbly stated in RealGM that he felt like a better player than the past year. We’ll let them get all the way through their Bay Area Super Bowl appearance. The Warriors were sloppy on offense, lousy with unforced errors, coughing it up 23 times.
