why was the Clippers so bad last Sunday?
we have a new (free) sports channel and they were airing the Clippers match live or semi-live. Anyway, first time there was a full NBA match on Dutch TV sinvce a long long time.
But Clippers were so bad, only ~30 points in first half!

Because they were up more than 20 points on the Golden State Warriors and allowed the Warriors to come back and win the game by seven points......Clippers haven't won a game since!

Meanwhile, Golden State Warriors are setting the record tonight against the LA Lakers!

Those Laker parades seem like just yesterday...

Kobe Bryant announces his retirement and then goes 4-20 in what ends up being a four point loss to the Indiana Pacers......



Meanwhile tonight in Salt Lake City, the Golden State Warriors go for their 19th win of the season as they embark on a seven game road trip.

Bytor Peltor 12.01.2015 10:52 PM

The "what will happen first" proposition, Phily win or Golden State loss was answered tonight......but only because Kobe came to town. First game this season the 76'ers were favored. The next time the 76'ers will be favored is when they play at the Laker's on New Years Day!

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 12.02.2015 01:37 AM

The NBA will miss Kobe. He will become an LA cult hero here like Magic. Its taking his retirement for me to full realize how much i down low like Kobe. When i was at the Laker parade i wasn't cheering for Kobe, i was literally chasing the front of the bus like a kid shouting, "MAGIC!" (He was on the bus with the team). However now I'm starting to feel soft for Kobe.

The 76ers finally won a game! Here are 14 things that occurred since their last win







(what is dabbing though?)

The Warriors are the fourth team in NBA history to compile double-digit road winning streaks in consecutive seasons!

The Golden State Warriors are now 20-0 and have tied baseball's St. Louis Maroons (1884) of the Union Association for best start across the 4 major sports leagues.

 


It was Curry night as Charlotte retired Dell's number and Stephen torched them for 40 points (14/18 on FGA, 8/11 on 3FGA), 5 assists, 3 boards in 31 minutes......once again only playing 3 Quarters. Speaking of that 3rd Quarter, Steph scored 28 points......scoring 24 points in a row (let that sink in).

 


Stephen Curry is the first NBA player to score 40 points in at least six of the season's first 20 games since Michael Jordan in 1986-87

Steph and the Warriors weren't the only Undefeated's in the building......

As a fan of basketball, I believe we are watching the groundwork to NBA History. Each time Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors take the floor, something special is happening.

"IF" the Warriors can navigate this seven game road trip unscathed, I believe they will be undefeated when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas Night......going for 29-0. "IF" GSW can pull that off, why not not finish off the the month of December reaching 32-0 when they play at Houston on New Years Eve? I realize this is a lot of "IF's," but it does setup for some unprecedented History!

In three of these 40 point games, Curry didn't play the 4th Quarter......who knew that the most 40 point games without playing the 4th Quarter was ever going to be a statistic?

Bytor Peltor 12.04.2015 12:31 AM

Among the top 25 three point persentage shooters in the NBA so far this season......Paul George is the only player who has attempted as many 3 pointers has Steph Curry has made.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 12.04.2015 11:13 AM

Ill admit im totally a hater on Warriors and Curry but only because i find their NBA Jam style of basketball to be boring to watch. When the Dubs homecrowd goes total bat shit over a Curry 3 im thinking, "Really? As if you didn't see that coming?"

I know how all the Heat haterz were feeling..

I hear ya......it's ok as people said the same thing about Stockton & Malone and Tim Duncan.

GSW almost lost in Toronto yesterday. They trailed in the 4th Quarter, but Steph went off for 44 points (made nine 3 pointers) and Klay Thompson scored 26 to lead GSW to their 21 victory of the season......playing for win 22 in Brooklyn later today.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 12.06.2015 02:55 PM

Honestly Dubs should be like the Heat were on their 27 game streak and wish it were over already.. its a waste of energy to put so much effort into otherwise meaningless regular season games

This may be true for some franchises, but I just don't get the same feeling with the Dubs, who are just playing their schedule......speaking of:

Warriors won their 26th straight regular season game yesterday in Brooklyn. Tomorrow, Dubs will try and match your 2012-13 Heat for second longest win streak in NBA history.

The Warriors are now 12-0 on the road, matching the 1969 New York Knicks for the best ever road start in NBA history.

After the last game, Luke Walton on teams trapping Steph: "That's what we want."

Steph vs. Kobe shooting this season:

 
 


Shhhh......Rockets have won five of their last six.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 12.07.2015 10:09 PM

THEY DIDN'T WIN THEIR 26TH, THEY WON THEIR 22ND. LAST SEASON SHOULD NOT COUMT, PERIOD.

I could care less if they break Heat's 2nd place steak but I'm not gonna lie, if NBA gives away the Lakers streak by giving Dubs last season's wins too that is fucked up.

Bytor Peltor 12.08.2015 05:09 AM

Amazing box score from Philly-SA last night......Spurs win by 51 without Duncan or Leonard. Diaw is plus-32 in 16 minutes. Stauskas minus-43 in 25.
