    Not quite sure how it would have been an epic choke. We were down 17 pts late in the 3rd and really had no business even being in that game.

    Sure down the stretch we finally grabbed a lead, but those runs to comeback take alot out of you. The nba all about those runs, so Denver I thought would take the win late. The way the game was playing out, didn't seem like we were going be able to hold on. I'm pretty pumped won, great comeback.

      This was a horrible game to watch no defense and guys just jacking up shots, Faried is a great player he does all the little things most players don't I really wish the Bucks would have taken him instead of Tobais Harris.

        Really? I thought that game was a lot of fun.

        I like up and down basketball, nothing worse than a 85-80 NBA game. Those years when the Pistons were in the Finals were the dirt worst for entertainment value.

          The 1999 NBA Finals were gag inducing.

              Being up 3, with posession of the ball with 30 seconds left and losing would have been an epic choke.

                I really don't get that.

                How is that an EPIC choke?

                On defense, with 30 seconds left all you gotta do is play tough defense for one possession and get one stop, and you still have 6 seconds to tie the game with a three. It's only one stop, one possesion. That scenario really itsn't that improbable. It wasn't like they were up 5 or/and more than one possession. Really have to disagree on how that is an"epic" choke.

                  Impressive win vs Pacers.

                  Jackson used the small lineup (Curry, Klay, Jack, Lee, Landry) for the entire 4th Q against the much bigger Pacers, and they held on for the relatively comfortable win.

                  10-6, first place, getting virtually nothing out of Brandon Rush & Andrew Bogut, who would have been heavy rotation guys. I'm pretty surprised. Long road trip coming up, lets see what they look like at the end of that.

                    I'm suprised and kind of excited. Klay and Curry are finally finding there stroke. Curry looks healthy again (knock on wood). Now when the offense struggles and there is no movement, they can start knocking down shots. Curry is starting to drive and dish. Thankfully we don't have to rely on Landry coming off the bench and saving us so much. Jack was knocking down shot after shot last night. My only concern with him is that he looks for his own shot a little too much for a PG, and that has gotten us into trouble in a few games this year. But it's a huge plus having a vet PG come off the bench and give us minutes. If Curry, Klay and Jack can cut down on some of the mistakes and turnovers this team can really improve more.

                    8 of the next 9 on the road coming up after Monday. Only 3 of those teams have winning records. Usually we struggle on the road histroically, but were at .500 this year which is really good sign. Hoping we can pull out a victory Monday then try to come back from the long trip with a slightly better record then where we are at now.

                    If you look ahead at the schedule after Christmas through late January, sched is really really tough. We only play 3 teams with losing records out of around 14 games in that span.

                    We are going to need to keep playing well and pick up wins through Christmas.

                      Two wins on this road trip so far, which is a great start. We need to get as many wins as we possibly can, because after xmas we have a really tough stretch.

                      The W's are really starting to play together now. They look really cohesive. Curry and Klay have both found their shots. Curry has played great the last 5 games. We caught a break tonight with no Lopez for the Nets, and Lee was beasting inside.

                      I'm really liking what I've seen the last 10 games from them.

                          Three road wins so far, which is great for this team, I don't care who the opponents are we need these games badly considering historically how bad this team is on the road. Caught a huge break Fri with no Lopez for the nets.

                          We struggled with the Wiz last night and couldn't really put them totally away, but stepped it up in the last 5 minutes. Jackson resting his starters from the end of the 3rd to 5 min left in the 4th pissed me off and almost cost us the game. Had a big time scare from Curry who came up limping late in the 4th, but he just banged knee, huge relief.

                          Just to illustrate how histrocially bad this team is , and bad on the road, if the Warriors get 1 more win in the next 4 games, it would be the first winning road trip of 6 games or more in 41 years for this team...lol.

                            Another nice road win against a team we are favored to beat. Next up, Miami on Weds so I'm counting that as a loss. Would really like to finish the trip off with wins vs. Orlando and the Hawks, but I'd settle for one at this point and be really happy with the trip.

                              A 1-2 finish to the trip would be an overall win.

                                Big game tonight !!! Interesting to see where we are right now in the season against an elite team.

                                Last time we played an elite team was OKC and they absolutely blew the doors off of us quickly.
