Unbelievable

The Historic Run continues...

John

Curry breaks the single season record for 3-pointers made with 288. There's 24 games left! At 5 per game, he's on pace to hit 400+. 46-51-46 in three consecutive road games, to quote LeBron, "he is ridiculous".

You would think someone would figure out SOMETHING that could disrupt his rhythm.

These are the glory days for us long suffering members of the Dub Nation. I usually see about 15 - 20 Dub games a year in person and now a days the hi light takes place during pre game when Steph does his shooting and dribbling routines... I noticed over the last year or so...he's starting to stretch out his shooting range during warm ups......I guess he was really working to use it in games... he doesn't jump high...but he doesn't have to... he has a perfect hand release...the ball come out and rises quickly....by the time it's out of his hands...its way up over the defender's hands... Picking him up before he crosses mid court is really not going to do much unless you have the quickness to stay with him because he can cross people up with his dribble and go by them...or either Draymond or Bogut can come over to that side of the court and set a pick and roll and he will have the ball in his hands heading full steam down the other way. I think the best teams that have had success with him is to really body him..bang him around and make him work. That ofcourse is easier said than done....

Golden State win a win in overtime against Atlanta. Still Undefeated at Home.

John G.

Golden State with another win against the Thunder.
The Warriors match the longest winning streak at home in NBA history at 44 games.

John G.

Final stretch
 

Does anyone think the Warriors will be 16-6 or worse in their last 22 games?

Not me:eek:

What's going to come into play now, as the season gets near the end, how much rest will Coach Kerr give these players?

San Antonio is now 30-0 at home.

John

whooda thunk it?
 

.

For all the hype and the (deserved) Curry mania, the Spurs are all of 2 1/2 games behind them.

Shhhhhhh, let them have their fun. We'll be waiting in the conference finals.

My dad used to say, you have good days and bad days.
The Warriors did not have a good day.
Give a little credit to the lakers, I also think they got caught up in the farewell of Kobe.

John

The Golden State losses though few have been really bad generally either due to being blown out or losing by a lot of points or being beat by a real bad team...

55-6
 

I think you fire Steve Kerr and then put Curry and Klay Thompson/Green on blast that they will be next if they lay another egg like this--you know, to keep them motivated.:rolleyes:

... yet they're still undefeated against the top 10 teams in the league. I think that edge may be handy come playoff time.

These guys are damn good, bar none, and really fun to watch. Maybe they get 73, maybe they don't, but they're the defending champs until someone else dethrones them.

yeah wierd how they beat the Thunder home and away recently in which a loss there is really expected...and they barely squeek by the Sixers earlier in the year, could of easily been another bad loss...

i do think last year the Clippers would of beaten them if they played them...not saying the clippers are the best team but they match up well against G.S. and of course the spurs too this year.

When one looks at the NBA standings this year, one can't help but think that the league has finally achieved "parity" as evidenced by the competitive balance.:rolleyes:

The Laker win is just icing on the cake.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

It is really a shame that only 16 teams will make the playoffs.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

:D:D:D:D

John- can we count on you for daily updates if a baseball team starts 24-0?
.
.

thanks for the thought, but this is wearing me out, It's been a fun ride though.

John

The Warriors beat the Wizards 102-94.They travel to Utah to take on the Jazz tonight.

John

Shouldn't there be a separate thread for each baseball team?:D

Finding accurate standings and records online is so difficult.;)

Curmudgeon!!

If a baseball team started 24-0, or challenged the 116 wins by the Cubs and Mariners in a single season, you had better believe it wouldn't be in the watercooler section. If it were the Yankees, Red Sox, or Cubs forget about decorum. Here is a team on a historic run, it should be celebrated.

Hear! Hear!!

68-7 after a comeback, OT , road win against a team desperately needing the W to keep its playoff hopes alive. Don't wanna jinx it, but I think tonight's game was maybe the last, biggest hurdle to clear, and 73 looks very likely now. Now they're one win closer and can still lose two (Spurs + 1) to achieve the record.

103-96 with an overtime win over the Jazz.The franchise record with their 68th win of the season. They host the visiting Celtics on Friday night.

Still chasing History, and getting ever so close.

The Warriors are 36-0 at home.
San Antonio is 38-0 at home.
espn tonight, vs. the Celtics.

John

The Celtics with a nice win over the Warriors.
The Regular season Home streak is over.
They have to win five of their last six games to break the record.

22 turnovers last night.

San Antonio is 39-0 at home, still have to face the Warriors one last time.

John

watch out for San Antonio, the Warriors seem awful cocky.....

The Warriors are back on track.
136-111 over portland, their home winning streak has started again.
They'll attempt to be the second team to win 70 games in a single season in NBA history.

John

69-9
 

not too shabby...

I still see 72/73 wins.

JMO

DS

I need to check if the Bulls in their big year lost to such a bad team records wise. Plus 2 losses at home now by G.S....still super team but we talking about comparing them to that Bulls team......

73 won't happen...no way they beat the Spurs in San Antonio.

The Warriors lose to the Timberwolves in overtime, 124-117.

They have lost their last 2 of 3 at Oracle.

4 games left, two with San Antonio.
They Host the Spurs on Thursday night.

John

I would of said no way the T-Wolves win yesterday at Golden State..especially that G.S. had lost a game not long ago

Too much obsession with 73. Who cares really? It's all about the championship.

People still talking about that Bulls team with 73 wins.....nobody talks about Houston's most recent championship...thats whyy

Jordan, that's why. People talk about Bird's winning teams and Magic's too. Who was on Houston?

SAS vs GSW
 

73: unlikely, perhaps, but NOT impossible...Popovich's belief in resting key players for the playoffs may (or may not) be the determining factor.

ETA - great seasons for both teams - will be fun to watch if both teams are at full-strength these last two head-to-head match-ups and in a 7-game series as well.

DS

The Warriors are the second team in NBA History to reach 70 wins.

The Warriors with a win over San Antonio.

3 games to go, one in San Antonio, where they have not lost all year.

john

Houston did win back to back championships at at time where many people today watched them so its not like we are talking about a team in the 40s...akeem and drexler both in the Hall of Fame...they were a 6th seed one year..if they had won 73 games in one of those seasons, you cant say we wouldnt be talking about them.....or if you don tthink anyone on G.S. is as good as Jordon and Bird and that team would be like Houston (both winning back to back champs, but noone like Jordan etc) because no big players...thats my point...win 73 games and people will talk about them a loot more than 72 wins -- 20 years from now if thats still the record..

Whatever. To me it's meaningless. The regular season, especially in the NBA where half the league makes the playoffs, is pretty meaningless. Half of those wins were against horrible teams whose seasons were over and could not have cared less and just wanted to get it over with. If Curry et al can win back to back titles, that will be something significant.

I disagree. A championship is clearly more important. But the most wins in league history? That's pretty impressive. Half of any teams wins were against similar teams that weren't competitive. Many teams have won back to back titles. Someone wins a title every year. Only 1 has won 72 games before.

Bulls
 

Didnt the '96 Bulls lose 2 games at home? Although I dont expect it I certainly think the Warriors are capable of beating SA at home. Heck, the Warriors are almost unbeatable against the best teams in the NBA. It is a good thing they wont be facing the Lakers or Timberwolves in the first round.

Can you name without looking the major league baseball record for wins in a season?

I believe the Mariners broke that record one year after griffey left. I can't name the year but think the total was 114.

Nope number is wrong. qed

I looked it up after I posted, looks like they tied the Cubs record of 116 wins, although with 10 more losses. I see your point, but I think there is more significance to this record as it breaks the Bulls record with Jordan.

More people would remember those Mariners had they won the series.

exactly my point!!!!!!

My point was you need both. It won't mean much without a title. But 73-9 with a title and it would be hard to argue against them as the greatest team of all time. I disagree with calling it meaningless.

The 2001 Mariners won 116 games. I remember the season very well. The M's lost their last game of the regular season, and failed to eclipse the Cubs record. They faced the New York Yankees in the ALCS and lost 4-2 in a playoff series with a great deal of patriotic fervor after 9/11.

I agree with you on this point, if Golden State loses one of their final three games, and fail to best the 95-96 Bulls, it will dampen their spirits. Even if they best the record, but do not win the championship, they may be remembered as an anomaly like the 2001 Mariners. However, I do not see a team that can beat them in a seven game series with home court.

There is no chance IMO this team, 73 wins or not, is better than the Magic Kareem Worthy Lakers, or the Bird McHale Parish Walton DJ Celtics.

There is no right or wrong answer on issues like that, but they're fun to discuss. I think many would view this season as the greatest ever with a title and the record. But it's hard to compare against a dynasty that won 4, 5, or 6 titles. But either of those examples, one season against this year's golden state team, or the 96 Bulls, the results and records speak for themselves.

The Warriors grind it out against Memphis.

Still Chasing History.

Draymond Green with a great game.

Two games to go.

At San Antonio tonight, April 10th.
NBA TV at 7:00.M. EST, enjoy

You cant say this era is easier than back in the day just like that...there are far better european players on teams that were not playing in the 50s to 80s and far less in the 90s compared to today...there were no tony parkers, dirk norwiski, ginoobli etc...given the same opportunites back in the magic days....

ironic the op's name is talkingbaseball. even if they get the record and championship they are no way the best team ever. this ain't baseball anyway, you can't compare different eras with all the rule changes.

curry is a freak and god-moding the game right now and opening up everything else for the team. the developers seriously need to nerf his abilities to balance out the game. take out curry and they'd have trouble grinding out a series vs a bottom seed. talk about draymond's swagger that gives the team confidence etc but you need curry's execution to back it up.

Minute to go, looks like they've ended the 18 year losing streak in SA and tied the Bulls. Gotta give it up to these guys, they're making it really tough at the end of the year by losing to lesser teams, but keep stepping up against the top teams. Last game at home is no gimme, but think most didn't give them a shot to run the table after that Twolves loss.

Lots are making the argument that their players need rest, but Curry's minutes have been pretty moderate all year (he's sat like a dozen or more 4th quarters, and all the guys that needed to get healthy are back (Festus, Bogut, Iguadola). I actually think going for the record, as opposed to sitting guys, will help them by keeping them sharp. I'd rather enter the playoffs having won "must win" type games, as opposed to playing out the final month on cruise control.

No matter what, this has been a fun ride.

The Golden State Warriors with an inspired win. They end their streak of 33 regular season losses at San Antonio. They have tied the Bulls with 72 wins, Wednesday against Memphis at Oracle for the all time record.
also,34 road wins.

John

I'm glad I was wrong about tonight's game...definitely surprised me!

"A Night To Remember"

At Oracle Arena

Going for 73 wins in a Season.

Enjoy,

The Dubs couldn't have gotten this close to the record without this thread.:D

Great layup, Frank.

Thank You
 

Dub Nation

An Historic Season and Magical Night.

Most wins in a NBA Season, 73-9.
Steph with 400 plus threes.

it's been a pleasure running this thread, thanks so much.

Frank, it's all yours now.
Enjoy the playoffs.

John

I am reluctant to dismiss what the Warriors have done the past two seasons with a "Back in my day..." hand wave. That isn't to say they are better than the great dynasties of NBA past, but they also have a superstar doing things no one else in the history of the game has ever done. The Warriors use the three-point shot like no other dynasty in the history of the league.

Curry is the first player ever to shoot 50% from the field, 40% on three pointers, 90% from the line and lead the league in scoring. Curry was the first player ever to hit 300 three pointers in league history, and be broke the 400 mark before any other player in the history of the league ever got to 300 three pointers in a season. I am old enough to remember prime Larry Bird and what a feared, deadly three-pointer shooter he was. In Bird's greatest three-point shooting season, he still made less than 25 percent of the three-pointers Curry made this season. Curry has made more three-pointers over the past two seasons than Larry Bird made in his entire career. That's how the game has evolved, and the Warriors take advantage of that better than anyone else.

The four greatest seasons in terms of three-point field goals made in a season are three seasons by Steph Curry and one by Klay Thompson. IMO, it is difficult to justify that the current Warriors team would not belong on the court with any of the great teams of the past when they are so proficient at perfecting the modern NBA game of an offense that exploits the three-point shot.

Curry is phenomenal. Best pure outside shooter I can remember since Reggie Miller. Congratulations on winning 73! I'll be pulling for you guys in the playoffs.

What an amazing season! And now the real fun begins.

Re- comments about how they play, and have taken advantage of the 3 (among other great things they do-- pass unselfishly, rebound, play strong D) like no other team before them... I've heard the suggestion that the NBA move the 3 point line out further to balance things out. Funny thing is, if they did so, it would probably just benefit the Warriors more. At one point this season, Steph was hitting over 60% of his shots from 28 feet or more, including half courters. I don't think Klay minds shooting from 30 feet either. Unreal.

I think I could, at least from 1900 on. I'd guess Ed Walsh, as I know he had 40. I think Jack Chesbro also had 40.

Pre 1800? I would have no idea. Pud Galvin?

73 wins is incredible, no matter how you cut it. But for this season to be truly "one for the ages", they need to carry that dominance over to the playoffs, and win it all. The '95-'96 Bulls that won 72 games only lost one game in the first three rounds of the playoffs, and went 15-3 overall in winning the NBA Championship.

Pretty sure he's talking about team wins which are the Cubs and Mariners (think 116?).. Think been mentioned earlier in this thread too)

... But pitching yes, is Chesbro for post 1900, Old Hoss Radbourn has pre-1900 mark. I'm pretty sure I've seen Hoss's listed anywhere from 61 down to 58. Think it's officially 59 now. Old Hoss also liked to flip the bird whenever he got the shot. Seemed quite the character.

Team wins.
