Warriors' Streak: When Will it End?

[cavsfan817]

I don't think the Bulls are "one of the best teams in the league" They're good but there's a huge drop off after the top 3 (SAS, GSW and CLE). And it was a just 11 points in the first quarter, that happens probably quite often where one team gets out to a better start. I'm not trying to take anything away from Walton, he's done well, but some of his rotations have been suspect and the team isn't crushing other teams in the third quarter like they did last year under Kerr. This team will player better when Kerr is back, but considering it's his first time coaching, Walton has done a fine job.

He's also ignoring the fact that they're running Kerr's system and that Kerr is heavily involved in the team, he just isn't on the sideline during games

The Bulls are a top 10 team in the league... Off the top of my head they are probably like top 6-7, so I'd classify them as being one of the better teams in the league. But as for Kerr, he's giving Walton all the praise. Obviously it's not one side or the other who should get 100% of the praise for their start, but somewhere in the middle. It's primarily Kerr's system, however Walton is making all of the "on-the-fly" decisions and maneuvers so he definitely deserves some praise. I like Kerr saying that it's all Walton in that quote.

OAKLAND – The discussion about Kobe Bryant and his withering game was louder than ever on Tuesday night at Oracle Arena, where the 37-year-old Lakers star looked so much worse for his 55,751 minutes of NBA wear (regular season and playoffs).

It was painful stuff, with Bryant enduring one of the worst nights of his storied career (one of 14 shooting for just four points) while the Golden State Warriors cruised to a new NBA record for best regular season start (16-0) in the 111-77 win. But that basketball obituary can be written another day, especially with Bryant himself acknowledging of late that – 20 seasons, five titles, and 32,649 points in – all signs point to this being his bon voyage campaign.

Even with Bryant’s sadsack display, he offered something that no one else could on this night in which the Warriors waltzed so anticlimactically into the league’s annals: a reminder that what the Warriors are doing at the moment is extremely rare stuff. And still, Bryant is impressed enough that he could see Golden State breaking the all-time winning streak of 33 games set by the 1971-72 Lakers.

“Yeah, they could do it – because they’re good,†Bryant said afterward. “It’s a very young league, and they’ve managed to put together a team of extremely intelligent players and extremely versatile players, and great shooters. And so I see no reason why they couldn’t continue to extend (the record).â€

Not sure how its 'the stupidest shit ive ever said"

Luke Walton deserves credit and Warriors are playing through Kerr's system. Both are facts

Mark Jackson had a good structure for the team but Kerr took them to the next level and made the right changes. Mar Jackson started Lee/Iggy over Green/Barnes and he had klay/barnes play the post game more which slowed their tempo.

That's pretty much all I was saying about Kerr and Walton.

As for the Bulls, I guess they're one of the top teams in the league. But I think there's a huge drop off after Cle, GSW and SAS (maybe the Thunder are in there). But winning after being down 11 early in the first against the Bulls isn't some overly impressive comeback IMO. They didn't even have Rose, Heinrich was ballin though

Warriors comeback vs Clippers was impressive
