    That streak isn't real though. They lost to Grizzlies and Cavs at home in playoffs.

    Exactly. Drives me nuts all this talk about 54 "straight" home wins. As if playoff losses are less important than regular season wins.

    Next will they add preseason games to win streaks?

    Wow, they can only lose 1 more if they want the record and they've got us once, Spurs twice, Memphis twice, twolves once.

    Golden State is clearly fatigued, injured, and not playing their best. Iggy is out. Ezeli is out. Bogut left with injuries and had xrays. They've played something like 25 games in 40 days. Think we might smell blood in the water for our game. If we win then Spurs only need Warriors to choke one game of MIN, @Mem, Mem to control their destiny for the #1 seed. Golden State likely wins those but wonder if Pop may play starters a few extra minutes to force them to prove it.

    Who knows what mindfuck games he's playing though. It's interesting how he always says he could care less about these records while the Warriors are focused on them.

    Lol if only this had his mugging of Amir Johnson added to it... I think the refs may be afraid to blow their whistle at him.

    What moving screen? I can literally hear the gulp when all three refs swallow their whistles

    definitely not a moving screen. That's an over the shoulder, bounce off the ropes come back for a clothesline. and that's definitely not, not illegal in the NBA

    My god... I honestly don't believe it was intentional. Green just got up and immediately had to brace himself.

    You still call the fucking foul on him though... Jesus...

    I didn't watch the game, but are you guys serious? There was no foul called on that? That is ridiculous.

    Way to tell a chronically injured player who can't play he's been cut by the team. Make him sad enough to actually believe it. How is that funny to him? Maybe next year they can convince him his mom died.

    April fools!

    Dude I actually felt bad enough watching that I couldn't laugh at it. It was a funny idea though.
