So perhaps Warriors should wait and see what develops before they go around feeling so constantly disrespected. Respect is earned

The only thing that makes a streak historic is time. The longer a streak stands, the more attention it receives as a team approaches it. I don't believe any team starts a season with the hopes of breaking a streak. It's just something that sort of happens when a team has a run of success.
Example, the NFL Carolina Panthers who are now 14-0. The Miami Dolphin undefeated season streak will be mentioned more and more as the final two weeks of the NFL season draw to an end and the post season begins......but other than Die Hard Dolphin fans or the players from that team, it's not really all that big of a deal.
Speaking of the NFL, why are so many so outspoken about hating Draymond Green, yet love Odel Beckham Jr. and all of his embarrassing clown act? Talk about a double standard between sports.
I believe the Warriors know respect is earned and have acted accordingly. I don't see Dub players getting wrapped up in the trappings that have plagued some Championship teams in the past.
So far, the Warriors have yet to play the Spurs or Thunder......and they haven't faced a major injury. It's not even Christmas, much less the All-Star break. As we all know, playoff teams don't start playing their best ball until then.
Rockets: sure didn't expect the quick start they had last night hosting the LA Clippers. At the end of the first period, Rockets were up 38-17......ended up winning by 10. The Rockets are 2-0 against the Clippers this season with two games remaining......0-5 against the Nuggets and Nets.
