And finally, the undefeated Warriors are on a seven-game road trip which began two weeks ago, and won’t end until December 13. The Warrior defeated the…

Well, that’s still kind of doubtful.
Ever since Steve Kerr took over as head coach last season, the minutes-per-game averages have decreased for all the Warriors’ top players.
Can the Celtics use their strengths well, at home?
Ian Clark will make his first career start in place of Thompson.
Curry is pretty good, but Golden State is much more than just their superstar.
He injured his ankle in the Warriors last win over the Indiana Pacers, and for the game against Boston he will be a “game-time decision”. This season they have had to face some adversity with health. It’s evident every night they take the floor. The Celtics are just trying to gauge what’s possible for them.
Of course, most players would love a chance at having their names forever engraved in the National Basketball Association history books. Below are some keys for the Boston’s matchup against the Warriors. Avery Bradley will aim to slow down Curry and Stevens’ defense appreciates a challenge.
So when Curry says that teams can try to copy them but won’t have personnel, perhaps he is just being plain honest. Klay Thompson exploded for his season-high 39 points with seven rebounds and six assists.
There’s no reason to assume Curry is going to have an off night any time soon.
So if the second and third leading scorer in Thompson and Barnes on the undefeated Warriors are not playing, then the Dubsare going to to need a lot more out of guys like Iguodola, Livingston, and Rush.

On the other hand, the Celtics may not have an unbeaten run, but with a 13-9 record, they have surpassed the expectations set on them early in the season. When Boston faced Golden State back in March, they had just acquired Isaiah Thomas and he wasn’t fully acclimated into the system.
Though Smart is out for this contest, the Celtics now have Amir Johnson to help clog the paint.
Who joins Kobe on the West All-Star team?
“Our core has been together for four years, five years for some”.
The Warriors are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 road games and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games overall. They get you on back cuts because you’re anxious about the guards.

This is a longwinded way to announce that the Press Democrat is ramping up its Warriors coverage as the team pursues one of the NBA’s most prestigious records – most consecutive regular-season wins. “That’s how we had to look at it. Coming into this year, I knew I was going to have a bigger opportunity and a bigger role to play, and I worked very hard this summer to be able to play that role to the best of my ability”. But they also shouldn’t be discouraged if they become the Warriors’ latest victim in what could be a historic run.
