Golden State Warriors


Recommended Posts

Have the unstoppable Warriors just made the NBA season completely boring?

 

 

Now, this was only one game, and it may end up being just an aberration. The Spurs were playing at Oracle Arena, where the Warriors have yet to lose all season, and without Tim Duncan, who sat out with knee soreness. Although his days as a MVP candidate are firmly in the past, Duncan’s presence would have made a difference, albeit probably not a 30- point one. The two teams next play on 19 March, in San Antonio, with the Spurs potentially at full strength. If the Spurs pull off victory there, or even suffer a close loss, we’ll all go back daydreaming about a seven-game Western Conference finals between the two.

But maybe that is wishful thinking. It’s also possible that these Warriors have no rival and will continue to decimate the NBA like an invasive species without a natural predator.

This was the second time in two weeks that the Warriors embarrassed one of the teams that supposedly had a shot at knocking them out of the playoffs. Last week, they took on the Cavaliers in what was supposed to be an NBA finals preview. That turned out to be a 34-point road win for the Warriors. That loss spurred a coaching change and questions about whether Cleveland’s LeBron James-Kyrie Irving-Kevin Love super-team was doomed by the Warriors’ mere existence.

It’s to the point where the NBA might have a Superman problem on its hands. As many attempted movie adaptations will attest, it’s notoriously difficult to develop engaging stories about Superman, a character so powerful he can do just about anything. It’s difficult to come up with believable scenarios for Superman where there’s any drama or provide him with opponents that represent any realistic danger. Greatness, no matter how impressive, can end up being boring without legitimate conflict.

We’re not at that point with the Warriors yet, but Monday night’s win suggests that this rest of this season could end up completely lacking suspense – unless a team figures out what their Kryptonite could be.

Stephen Curry is the s@%t. He is the best basketball player on the planet right now. He made an otherworldly 12 three-pointers out of 16 attempts. That shot against the Thunder to win it is one for the books and will be written eventually in Warriors lore.

This guy is just unbelievable...fantastic shot from way beyond the 3-point line...i saw him shoot several more 3 pointers from way beyond the arc. Steph just makes it so easy.

What a game by Curry. record tying 12 3ptm. Breaking his own record for most 3ptm in a season with still 24 games left in the season. Just after last game's breaking of Kyle Korver's consecutive games with a 3 point shot made. And to top it all up...a game winning 3 point shot near the half court. Stephen Curry is simply out of this world. #videogamestats

All it takes is the right coach to bring out the best in him and the team. Honestly, who'll be a Warriors fan if Mark Jackson was still the coach?

Curry would still be turnover prone and they still would nit have won a title.

Like someone recently said, was anyone not living in the Bay area a fan? Everyone's pretty recently jump on the Curry/Warriors bandwagon only.
