The Golden State Warriors are going for their 28th straight regular-season win when they face the Boston Celtics on Friday night.

What the Warriors have done, by running the table for 23 straight games, is push our imaginations beyond the moment.
The Golden State Warriors are without loss at 23-0, a record braking to start a season in National Basketball Association, but they also might play without the star shooter, Klay Thompson on Friday due to his sprained ankle. “They have the best per game point differential and nine wins by 15 or more points (trails only Golden State)”.
Well now the Warriors will be without one half of their backcourt, as Thompson will be out against the Celtics on Friday night. Klay Thompson could be. “It’s the shooting overall, and especially the shooting off of transition”. That’s the biggest thing against a team like this. Barnes won’t play and at the posting time of this article, Thompson was a game time decision, but injuries aside (ahem, Marcus Smart will be out too, mind you), Boston has put together one of the best defensive back courts in the league with Smart, Bradley, and Crowder.
They are the top-scoring team in the league at 115.8 points per game – 7.3 points better than second-place Oklahoma City, entering Thursday night’s action. The Pacers have a long way to go to achieve the precision of the Golden State Warriors, and possibly some personnel changes. I can’t hate on other fans – bandwagoner or not. The Spurs beat the Warriors twice in three meetings last season and Warriors coach Steve Kerr admitted the Spurs are “the gold standard”.
“We had a timeout inside of a minute and it was a double-digit game”, said Stevens. I mean there is a chance it could happen on Saturday when they are in Milwaukee on a back-to-back, but I don’t see that happening.
So when Curry says that teams can try to copy them but won’t have personnel, perhaps he is just being plain honest. “I’m excited to keep it going for ourselves and our team”. The Warriors are playing as if they lost in last Junes NBA Finals.

“I kind of, as the season went along, I went a bit against the grain. And I just couldn’t do it”, he said. “It”s nice to have these two days to get a sense of how it”s feeling.”. Do they want to see their team Be The One? “I really believe in this roster, and really it was just a disagreement between me and Mark”. Good luck. Before the game, Pacers coach Frank Vogel noted Indiana’s new up-tempo style was “light years” behind Golden State, and it showed.
