    Ahh to hell with it. They're human too and can be beat.

    Warriors have the worst record in the league so far this month. They don't want to see us in the playoffs.

    Were we going to be a favorite if they won?

    I think if anything they might let up since they no longer have the home streak to defend and easily beat us last time we played there. Bogut left with an injury, Iggy is out, Ezeli is out, they've played tons of games over the last month and are fatigued. Who knows.

    See this is being said everywhere but its misleading. They lost multiple home playoff games. Don't those count at least as much as games from over a year ago?

    They should count playoff games in all these win streaks.

    We beat them the worst this year, I just feel that after losing the home record, they are not gonna let the single season win record slip.

    Hmm, mixed about that. I really only thought of it as regular season.

    Because that's what the media told you to think. I refuse to succumb to media influence. [/@Strenuus]

    It's perfect circular logic.

    Anyone else have deja vu watching the end of the game.......when GS trapped the Boston player, Boston tried to call timeout, didn't get it, then the GS player fouls the Boston player and steals the ball and gets the timeout. Not exactly like the game in Portland last year, but pretty damn close. Horrible officiating in both instances. Glad Boston won.

    I think people were more focused on them going undefeated at home this season, not the 50+whatever streak.

    In any event, buh bye!

    How do you sugarcoat a win? That makes 0 sense. You sugarcoat losses.

    If you're gonna use words you don't actually understand... pro tip: Don't use them.
