    Wow yeah that's crazy. However you can tell by the 97-97 score that the Warriors were having an off game that night.

    I'm sure we could look at a game of two of that bulls team that they got lucky.

    Julius Randle 10 pts 8 reb 3/5 fg in the first half

    The one player I don't get why his age and lack of experience last year allows to do so well.

    Vonleh pay attention

    I see Tunchi has found a new target. Diversification!

    By the way, I'm worried about Kerr. How hurt is he? Also- why aren't more people talking about Luke Walton? He's breaking all sorts of records.

    He's doing great but this Warriors team is extremely talented and very deep. It's a team effort, and the coach is part of that team.

    Also I think Steve Kerr would be coaching if needed possibly. He's recovering from back surgery, so it's probably one of those "as long as things are going this way" type of situations.

    I just wonder if it's more serious than they're letting on. The surgery was 2 months ago.

    22 - 0. Jeez. I knew GS were good but this is getting ridiculous. Waltons got a job waiting once he moves on. Hmmmm.

    I'm not sure you were implying wanting him here or not, and I'm also not saying Walton is bad, he could be great, but I'm not so quick to jump to that. Walton was a player, and a coaches son, I'm not sure he's the mastermind behind that coaching operation. I think that goes to Steve Kerr - I just think that Walton probably learned what Kerr is doing very quickly and was able to translate that over towards coaching the team.

    Do you think if you put Luke Walton in Terry Stotts' position that our team would see a leap in production, and success?

    I'm sure somebody will hire him, but I'm not sure anybody is going to be moving an already good coach in order to get him. My money is that Luke Walton gets a big offer from the Lakers to be their head coach after Kobe retires. I could definitely see him taking that and returning to LA, where I hope he proves me right and keeps the Lakers mediocre for a long time.

    The Thunder have been very mediocre the past few seasons. I'm just not sure they are even that good. They have the talent, so maybe they are in sleep mode right now. I guess they could be dangerous come playoff time if they learn to play better together, but that kind of thing takes time.

    If OKC loses, we're only 2.5 games behind them for the division lead.
