That was a close one, but the Warriors won.

Double overtime, and a game in Milwaukee tomorrow in less than 24 hours.

However, Klay Thompson should play, and that will help a lot.

Curry was 14-14 from the free throw line tonight.

Curry is .922 from the free throw line this season. That's 3rd best in the NBA. Just another reason why he's the best in the game right now.

I am disappointed but the W's must have been tired from last night's game in Boston. It's ok. The season goes on.

Imagine playing a double-overtime game that ended at almost 11:00pm, then after showering and changing you go to the airport and take a late flight from Boston to Milwaukee.

You show up in Milwaukee around 3:00am, go to your hotel, wake up, and have to play a game at 7:30pm, which feels like 8:30pm because you're in a different time zone.

It would be tough to play a double-overtime game and play another game the next night if I lived across the street from the arena. To do what the Warriors had to do, was asking too much IMO.

I heard part of Draymond Green's post-game interview. He talked about how there is a sense of relief now that they lost because now they can focus on the bigger picture instead of the streak. That's true, but the talk about the 72-10 record will still be out there as a possible distraction.

That will certainly be on their minds but it won't be a major focus until near the end of the season I would think.

Charles Barkley said the following when asked about comparing the the 95-96 Bulls to this year's Warriors team:

"That Bulls team would kill this little team"

"Come on, man. Who is going to guard Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan? What about Dennis Rodman?"

He is the opposite of why I don't watch a lot of the NBA anymore, and it is filtering to college. The game is the 3 point shot and dunking. He has so much skill that I enjoy watching him.

For once in his life Charles is right. Stern has turned the NBA into a joke with non-touch rules now that didn't really exist in the 90s. Head to Head the 72-10 Bulls would destroy GS.

Can you imagine how many points Jordan would have averaged if no one was allowed to touch him?


I agree, but it's not the Warriors fault they play in the era they play in.
Remember when Kobe scored 81 against the Raptors? MJ would be be averaging 80ppg :):)

I completely agree re:GS. And i absolutely LOVE watching Steph. Watching that guy hit 3s and dribble the ball is like watching a video game. The guys just unreal. Dare i say it i think he might be better head to head than a prime AI.

Your post is full of so much fail. Barkely is one of the more honest people that talk about the NBA.

No touch rules came about in the 90's specifically to let Jordan win. Because he got worked in the 80s.

I loved Jordan, but I tend to agree.
I think the star players have always gotten calls.

Curry definitely has a better outside shot that AI, but there has never been a better 6'-0" player that could drive to the hoop and dunk like AI.

No question. In terms of raw athleticism its AI all the way. But the more effective player h2h prime for prime in my opinion is Curry, as he makes his entire team better.
