I thought I read that they are still going to Kerr, but I don't know for sure.

Any idea on timing of Kerr's return?

Just checked and Kerr is getting the wins. They might make a last minute decision to change the rule though, considering Luke Walton is probably going to win coach of the month. Would be awkward for Kerr to get that....

Saw a post on reddit that's kind of crazy to believe.

Even with the 19-0 start, the Warriors still have to win 84% of their remaining games to break the Bulls' 72-10 record. (Equivalent of a 69 win season.)

The 76ers beat the Lakers and advance to 1-18 on the season. The record to beat is 9, and I still like the 6 and 76ers chances. They're pretty awful.

0-0 Walton won coach of the month. Probably the first time a coach has won the award without winning a game.

Heh...Sixers and Lakers now a combined 3-33. The early 80s Lakers and Sixers are spinning in their basketball graves.

Warriors 20-0.

Curry is unreal.

It has to stop/slow down, right?

DeAndre Jordan only needs to miss 4 2 more FTs tonight to be the first player in the NBA to miss 100 FTs this year.

To put that in perspective, there are only 20 guys in the NBA that have shot 100 FTs. Jordan has missed more FTs than all but 20 players have shot.

Kudos to you for knowing that stat.

Edit: Nevermind, found this clip to help explain it

I actually saw that he had 96 missed FTs going into last night's game because my fantasy team's opponent had him starting. I wasn't watching the game, but I am glad someone else took note.

Loss intentional but the other guy sold it crazy over the top.

This game was pretty exciting at the end. But it was the same result, a warriors win and curry going off. His 7th 40-point game this year. You know, he goes for 40 every third game. No big deal.

I thought that each year until his mid 30s that Lebron would be the standard for MVP but it seems like Curry will own it for a long time to come. He's on another level right now.

GS is a helluva lot of fun to watch, and Curry is freaking insane.

Sure is looking like you could crown the Warriors already. They might beat the 72 win Bulls.

They will have to lose at some time, but I can;t see any team being able to beat them in a 7 game series. This is the most locked in I have ever seen a sports team.

We won't know anything until the Warriors play the Spurs.

Even with their 22-0 start, the Warriors have to go win 83% of their games to finish the season tied for 72 wins. That alone is a 68 win season. Just goes to show how good that Bulls team was.

Also, it's obviously only a quarter of the way through the season, but the game difference spread of the playoff teams in the east is only 1.5 games from 1 seed to 8. In the West it's 11.5 (7.5 if you remove GS). Looks like a lot of parity this year.
Frok

Well 51-9 doesn't seem entirely unrealistic for a team that is currently 22-0 and won 67 last year.

It will be interesting to see them play the Spurs. However I think the team most likely able to take down the Warriors would be Cleveland. They gave them a good run last year without Kyrie and Love.

I agree those two teams are probably the best competition to the Warriors. But I also think that inexperience hurt the Warriors against the Cavs last year. True most of the Cavs didn't have finals experience, but Lebron does and is the ultimate leader. As things stand today, if they played each other I think the Warriors will be more confident and win the series handily.

Bottom line, lots of basketball to be played still.

Cavs defense is nowhere near the Spurs defense this year though.

I'm a life long Spurs fan and agree. I want the Spurs to win one more for Timmy. As overshadowed as they are with the Warriors undefeated start, the Spurs are humming along at 17-4. GSG!

Even Russell Westbrook thinks this is a dumb shot.

I asked this earlier, but does GS and Curry's ability slow down? I thought it would 10 games into the season. Now were a quarter of the way done and it's not at all. What does the rest of the TA basketball world think?
