Speaking of televised games......this Wednesday:
Jazz @ Lakers (Kobe's Final Game) has been moved to ESPN 2
Memphis @ Golden State will now air on ESPN as Dubs go for win number 73
(ESPN having Mark Jackson announcing Wednesday's game is like being the best man at your friends wedding when he's about to marry your ex)
Last night in San Antonio, Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson outscored Tony Parker & Danny Green 51-6, matching largest point differential for a starting backcourt in 2015-16.
Curry with his second 37-point game of the year vs. the Spurs......NO ONE else has scored more than 33 against the Spurs this season:
Golden State is the FIRST team in NBA HISTORY to go an entire season and NOT lose consecutive games!
This is probably a good time to remember that Steve Kerr passed on Phil Jackson to tie Phil's win record......then ruined the perfect home season of the coach who won his 1st ring with him = Kerr is a King Slayer!
Scottie Pippen showing some love: "Giving credit where credit is due. Congrats to Steve Kerr and his Warriors on win no. 72. They earned it tonight!" "Stephen Curry showed why he's the MVP. As cold blooded shooter as I've ever seen and a basketball IQ that is off the charts."
Warriors offensive-rebound percentage this season
Overall: 23.5%
In clutch: 32.8%
Down 3 or less or tied in final minute: 62.5%
Looking ahead to Warriors final game this Wednesday:
ESPN's Basketball Power Index (BPI) projects Warriors have 91% chance to beat Grizzlies, set NBA record with 73 wins
Steph Curry needs 8 3-pointers to reach 400.
Steph has hit 8 in a game 25 times in his career, 15 of them happened this season!
Steph scoring 41 points will give him 30 points per game average for the season.
A few notes:
- 72 wins: ties single-season NBA record (95-96 Bulls)
- 34 road wins: new NBA record
- 63 games over .500: most in NBA history
