You have to say this about the Golden State Warriors: quitting is not an option for them. It was a defining few games for the dubs, winning against teams like the Clippers, Trailblazers, and the Kings. Even though a lot of critics are not picking this year's Warriors to win the west, they still embody that fabric of resiliency that they are known for. The Golden State Warriors just don’t want to lose without a fight, as shown by their recent comeback win against the Los Angeles Clippers. With a final score of 115-105, many of the Golden State Warriors were shocked on how they managed to win that game, after losing to the Clippers just 2 days before, with a score of 108-101. Curry finished the game with a stat-line of 38 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists, while shooting 9 of 14 from the three-point line. Curry is averaging a league best 30.5 points per game while scoring 137 points in the last four games. Despite these MVP numbers, Steph Curry has to walk a fine line of scoring a ton of points, and making plays for other teammates. That’s not easy to do. I think there’s not a single superstar in the NBA who can be as patient as him given the shortcomings of his supporting cast. Even if Steph Curry doesn’t have the rhythm in the first half of games, he defers to his other teammates. But as we all know, when Curry finds his rhythm and gets his shot back, he’s very hard to slow down. After the comeback game where the Warriors defeated the Clippers, Chef Curry had THIS to say: Andrew Wiggins was also interviewed after that same game to describe what it’s like to be Steph Curry’s teammate: "He's making shots that you're like, 'Whoa!' Curry’s other teammate, Eric Paschall was also interviewed and said this: Sometimes I have to remember things like, 'Hey, hold on. You're playing with Steph.' Steph is reminding us why he became a 2-time MVP. This latest example of Curry’s brilliance is why the NBA is so much fun to watch when he has these hot streaks, and Why Steph Curry DESERVES to be in the MVP conversation this season.

Just a few nights ago, Stephen Curry had the highest points this season so far, scoring 62 points in a 137-122 win Sunday over the Portland Trailblazers. When you read the official box score it says there: In just 36 minutes of play, Steph attempted 31 shots to surpass his previous career-high by eight points. After the game Klay Thompson tweeted out, “Sheeeesh @StephenCurry30 !! Welcome to the club big bro #62. Before this happened, the Trailblazers won against the Warriors 123-98. Damian Lillard controversially said that, “Curry looked mortal without Hall of Famer teammates to help him.” Curry seemed to take that personally, as he became the first player to score at least 30 in each half since Kobe “Bean” Bryant did it over a win against the Mavericks on Dec. 20, 2005. Curry broke the previous highest scoring mark this season. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had this to say during a post-game conference. "We are incredibly blessed as an organization to have Steph leading the way. What a performance tonight.” After seeing those memes of Steph Curry being defended by 3 or 4 guys because his teammates were not experienced enough, it lit a fire on Steph that night. The night before the 62-point game, Steph blew out the Sacramento Kings with a final score of 137-106. Steph finished with a game-high 30 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists; 2 assists and 1 rebound shy of a triple double while shooting 50% from the field, and 42% from the three-point line. After another brilliant performance that game, Steph said. “It’s a statement to us that we’re getting better. That’s all you can ask for.” His sister, Sydel Curry also shared her opinions on the haters via Twitter. Luke Walton, The Kings head coach and a close friend to Steve Kerr, knows what it’s like to experience this kind of performance by Steph. Walton coached the 73-9 Golden State Warriors when Steve Kerr was still dealing with back surgery where they started the season 24-0. “Well that was a frustrating one, clearly,” we looked like the team that played on a back-to-back instead of them.” Walton said.

The Golden State Warriors have been playing great lately! This video is about the long-term outlook of this season and if they can sustain this hot streak. Remember the time when the Golden State Warriors would dominate the league? It was nothing like the NBA had ever seen. A lot of teams tried to play small ball in the past, but when the Golden State Warriors put out that small ball-death line-up with KD, Klay, and Steph as their primary weapons - their only hope was for the warriors to miss or hopefully have an off night in that game. The Golden State Warriors had really perfected small ball play and rose to be the one of the most lethal and talented teams ever assembled. The team dominated the league starting with the 2015 title run, breaking shooting records here and there. They might have lost the title to the Cleveland Cavaliers back in 2016 but they won 73 games that season and got to sign KD in free agency. The beginning of the end was when Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant suffered season-ending injuries in the 2019 NBA finals. In this video, let's look closely if the Golden State Warriors are really in serious trouble? After facing the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks in two games, the Golden State Warriors couldn’t seem to shoot the ball. Losing by an average of 32.5 points, shooting 20-78 (25.6%) from three point land, they clearly struggled early on. Yes, they did get a pair of inspirational victories against the Bulls and Pistons, but they’re not exactly on par with the heavweights of the league. In 2015 to 2016, the Warriors even shot a league best 41.6 percent. They had six players shoot 38 percent or better that year. In the 2016-2017 season, they had fewer players - 3 players - who shot that percentage. Regardless, with the line-up of KD, Steph, and Klay, there was still no stopping the Warriors. They had the top three, if not top five players percentage-wise in one team, counting former defensive player of the year, Draymond Green and Finals MVP Andre Igoudala. After Durant left them to join the Brooklyn Nets, and Klay Thompson suffered an ACL injury in the Finals, where he sat out the 2020 season, they were still ready to prove the doubters wrong. The 2020 season was considered to be a redemption season for the Warriors. They got D’Angelo Russell in a sign-and-trade, and with Kerr, Draymond, and Steph it was enough to hopefully make a playoff run that year. But Curry broke his hand five games into the season; and what was considered to be a redemption season became a “take it easy season” to rank higher in the draft. When they traded D’Lo to the Timberwolves for Andrew Wiggins, the Warriors were ready to redeem themselves. But Wiggins failed to live-up to expectations as a no.1 overall pick for his insane contract. Plus they had the second overall pick which they used to draft James Wiseman out of Memphis. When reporters asked Steve Kerr on their horrible start, he said. The Warriors, even with Draymond, have definitely lost a step on defense. Are you familiar with the phrase, “good defense, but better offense?” The NBA right now is an offensive league. Steph Curry hasn’t played at the MVP level that the experts predicted. New additions, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andrew Wiggins, haven’t replaced Klay Thompson’s production, and the bench hasn’t helped as well. James Wiseman has been good for them (although he’s a bit inconsistent), but other than that, they look lost. The Golden State Warriors are the fourth team to lose by 25 or more in their first two games. Coincidentally, the last team that did this were the Warriors in the 1989-1990 season. They were led by: Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin, and Mitch Richmond, the run TMC era would lose by 57 points on two combined games. The Warriors may have lost by double digits on opening night, but they compounded that by a 39-point loss against the Milwaukee bucks, considered to be the largest deficit on Christmas day in over 60 years. The last team that had this kind of embarrassment was when the Syracuse Nationals (now Philadelphia 76ers) defeated the New York Knicks by 62! With a final score of 162-100. That’s not embarrassment. You call that annihilation. Do you think the Warriors are in serious trouble this season? Do they need to make moves in order to contend?

The Golden State Warriors certainly have not had the start to their 2020-21 regular season they expected. And it’s not only due to the fact that they lost their first two games by 26 and 39 points, respectively, or because they struggled due to Draymond Green’s absence in those two games. For a team that had the most lethal offense in the league for the better part of the last decade, it’s really weird to see the Warriors struggling so much on offense. And these aren’t the same 15 – 50 Warriors from last season who played without Steph Curry and Klay Thompson for most of the season, this is a revamped roster that has Curry back and added the best big man in the 2020 class, James Wiseman. Today we will take a look at just how far the new-look Golden State Warriors can go this season. The biggest blow to the Golden State Warriors’ aspirations to return to championship contention this year came before the 2020-21 regular season even began. About one month before their season opener against the Brooklyn Nets, the Warriors received news that Klay Thompson had torn his right Achilles tendon during a workout with fellow NBA players and would be out for an entire calendar year. Thompson had just recovered from a torn ACL suffered in the 2019 NBA Finals and was eagerly awaiting to return back to NBA action. After two immense blowouts, the 2020-21 Warriors became just the fourth team in NBA history to lose both of the first two games of their season by at least 25 points. Ironically, the last time this happened was also to the Golden State Warriors franchise in 1989, over 30 years ago. In this year’s two opening games, the Warriors went 20-for-78 from three-point land, an unusual 25.6% for one of the most efficient long-range clubs in the league. Curry went just 4-for-20 in those games, but another particular player’s historically bad shooting stood out even more: Kelly Oubre Jr’s, the team’s biggest offseason acquisition. Throughout Golden State’s first two games, Oubre became the first player in NBA history to start a season missing 11 straight three-pointers. He went 0-for-6 in the opener against Brooklyn, then 0-for-5 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Christmas Day. Nobody expected things going this bad. Of course, when your first two games of the season are facing the two best teams in the Eastern Conference, you know it’s going to be a battle. And after losing to the Bucks on Christmas, Steve Kerr said he was confident the team could turn it around. This Warriors team, even though it’s still led by Curry, Draymond Green, and the injured Klay Thompson, looks really different from the roster that made the 2019 NBA Finals. Other than their three stars, Damion Lee – and end of bench player – is the only other member of the 2019 Warriors that’s still with the team. Andrew Wiggins and Kelly Oubre are now in place of Thompson and Kevin Durant. That means two of the best sharpshooters in the league were replaced with two primary slashers. Wiggins and Oubre can shoot threes as well, but they’re yet to prove they can make them at a league average clip. The rest of the team is filled with young, raw guys the Warriors tried to develop into rotation NBA players during their throwaway 2019-20 regular season. “This year’s different,” he said. “And not to feel any pressure around Warriors teams in the past. We obviously had that championship DNA, and we understand there’s expectations around our organization and that’s what we want. But this year’s different. It’s a new group of guys.” Even though Curry was alluding to him expecting the team to play better, it’s still entirely possible the team looks entirely different if they decide to make mid-season trades. Regardless of how the roster looks by the trade deadline, we can definitely expect their next month to be better than how they started; it’s virtually impossible to do worse than they have up to this point. Open shots will start falling, guys will get used to playing with Steph, Draymond and James Wiseman will anchor a better defense, and the Warriors will be fine. Wiseman has in fact been one of the lone bright spots in the Dubs’ first week. Where do you think the Warriors will end up in the Western Conference standings? Is the Warriors dynasty dead?
