The Warriors need to finish off the season with a 25-5 record to surpass the Bulls record. Despite how superb of a start their season went, the Warriors now carry a bigger target on their back. The target was big enough for just being the NBA champs, but when you put a record that involves the name Michael Jordan into play..... That target becomes astronomical. Every team is going to want to take this team down. It's certainly not going to be an easy task, but the Warriors are going to get every teams A-Game for the rest of the season.
The Warriors have a pretty tough schedule remaining. There are very good teams in the Western Conference that do not get the respect they deserve. That is obviously in large part to the success of Golden State. A team that's not getting any love (which they probably like) is the San Antonio Spurs. All this talk about the Warriors and the Spurs are only 3.5 games behind them. Simply amazing. The Warriors did kick the shit out of the Spurs in their previous encounter this season at the Oracle. The Warriors face the Spurs 3 more times this year. 2 of those 3 games will be at the AT&T Center. Oh by the way the Spurs haven't lost a game at home this season. They are 28-0 on their home court. Be more under the radar than that? You motherfucking cannot. Golden State also goes up against the #3 seeded Oklahoma City Thunder (40-14) and the #4 seeded Los Angeles Clippers (35-18) two times each.
I think it's too hard for the Warriors to sustain this level of winning against such great basketball teams. Golden State is spectacular at simply everything and Stephen Curry is un-guardable. I just believe it is too much to overcome. If there's a team that can do it, it's certainly this one but I got too much respect for the other great teams and great players in this league. I'm going to say the Spurs beat the Warriors twice, the Thunder win once, the Clippers win once, and then one or two teams give the Warriors that upset nobody ever saw coming. I can see Golden State finishing their season tied with the Bulls record or 1 loss shy of it. It's really going to come down to those games vs. San Antonio.
The NBA regular season has really become a long exhausting season that really just needs to seed the Western Conference playoff teams so they can play in a legit playoff bracket to find out who will play LeBron James in the NBA Finals. The Warriors implemented a new meaning to the NBA regular season. This record is a big deal. We may never see another team ever come as close as this Warriors team does to the 96-97 Bulls record. Stephen Curry is the most exciting player in the NBA. The reigning MVP will be winning his second consecutive NBA MVP award for his dazzling play. Whether the Warriors break this record or not, they are absolutely the Must-See team of the NBA. The Warriors can definitely do this, but I believe they will just fall short. This is a special ride for a special team and we all need to be excited for every Golden State basketball game the rest of the season.
