(Reuters/Steve Dykes-USA Today Sports)Feb 19, 2016; Portland, OR, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) reacts to having a foul called on him during the third quarter of the game against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center at the Rose Quarter. However, the Warriors ultimately had the upper hand as Curry finished with 26 points and 10 assists to help Golden State. They do hide him a lot; they have a great shot blocker in (Andrew) Bogut back there.
A win tonight could give the Warriors a ton of momentum toward making the aforementioned history. This game should be a close one but I’m taking the Warriors to pull away late and cover the small spread here. When the Golden State Warriors started the season off with victory after victory, it was inevitable that people were going to start comparing them to the Bulls.
We also talked about the Warriors’ chance to get 73 wins-which Curry said might never happen again-and about how and when he decided he could shoot as many three-pointers as he is now. “It’s what he does”. Players in each of those games ran up 20 plus points on the Thunder, and despite a solid offence it made it hard for them to win the game. Curry has four of them, two coming this season.
“I go back to my high school games”. The Thunder should be playing smaller than they have been if they want to reach the next level, and there’s no sense in Donavan appeasing his star’s preferences or his own sense of rhythm for a losing cause.
The Golden State Warriors kept on pace to break the record for most wins in a season by moving to 53-5 with a 121-118 overtime road triumph against the Kevin Durant and the Thunder.
After winning 14 of 16 games from January 12-Feb. Westbrook poured in 44 points on Thursday in New Orleans and Durant added 32, but Oklahoma City still fell 123-119 after allowing the Pelicans to shoot 52.2 percent. I said, ‘Man, they weren’t as good as we were, ‘ ” Green said.
