Well, wasn’t that a pie in the Pacers faces?

Yet George did not spend much time Monday discussing whether he needed to match Curry basket for basket. You can’t say it any stronger than that.
Fortunately for Thompson, Golden State doesn’t play again till Friday at Boston.
You’re wondering what happened, and why? Their ability to spread the floor and attack with speed and spacing is a model for IN to study and learn from. He had grown up modeling his game after Canadian point guard Steve Nash, just as Curry did. When he has that look, he is going to have his confidence all night.
Thompson led the Warriors in the win that kept them unbeaten in the 2015-16 National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season.
Pacers star forward Paul George did his utmost to keep the game competitive, but his 33 points, eight rebounds and six assists were not enough to stop the Warriors’ streak. 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. I think they have great chemistry as a unit. “Well, right now, their best decision-maker is their big man. The person you’re outletting to is like another point guard”. “Whatever that means, however you got to that mountain, why not try to climb it?” We’re not trying to mimic them. He sat out a year and played three years at Duke, averaging 17.5 points as a senior. “We know they’re an explosive team watching them (Wednesday) night, we know they’re never out of a game and they have a pretty strong punch, so you’ve got to be ready for 48 minutes really, especially on the road”.
One lesson Tuesday was not to fall so far behind them.
Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors spent the first three quarters playing as flawlessly as their unbeaten record. If he is absent the 23-0 Warriors will miss a player who has scored at least 20 points in five straight games while burying 27 3-pointers. “They kind of exploited it”.
But Curry’s winning magic doesn’t seem to be confined to what he accomplishes with Golden State.
Cavaliers 105, Trail Blazers 100: LeBron James scored 33 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter, and Cleveland rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 105-100. The defense needs something of a reboot. While Jordan was known to antagonize teammates in hopes of channeling their anger so that they would compete harder, Curry uses the opposite approach to build up his teammates and reinforce their confidence.
Said Thompson, who rolled an ankle stepping on another player’s foot: “I was very selective with my shots”. “A bunch of guys having fun, shooting threes, dunking, everybody’s passing, behind the back passes”. They’re putting guys out there who can play multiple positions.
Bottom line lesson Tuesday night?
Jeppesen’s mother, Holly Stettler, didn’t just drive her 13-year-old son to Salt Lake City on a Monday morning so he could get an autograph from Curry outside the team hotel. This doesn’t define our season.

“Rumors will be rumors, and all I can do is control what (I can) when I’m out there”, Hill said. But the Heat looked gassed throughout the Chicago game and they have started to look gassed in previous games, as well. If we don’t get there, it’s not the end of the world.
