The Golden State Warriors Magical 23-0 Start

Well, believe it or not, the Warriors still haven't lost. In fact, I'm not sure if they'll ever lose again. I literally just finished watching the Warriors versus Pacers game, and I have to say, they looked pretty dang outstanding. This is actually the first time I sat down and watched a Golden State game start to finish, and watching this win was very satisfying. Watching this team's teamwork looks so outstanding you can't take your eyes off the screen. Many are accepting it as a possibility that the Warriors break the supposedly unbreakable record set by the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls.

First of all, I don't think it's ever right to predict a team to break a record. Records are there for a reason, and that's because that only 1 team or player has ever gotten that much. Considering we've seen thousands of teams come through this league, a 72-10 record is remarkable. The chances of it all happening are very slim, but that doesn't mean their chances aren't too limited. At this point, the Warriors would need a 50-9 record the rest of the season to break the record. That seems more than possible at this point in the season.

When someone mentions the Golden State Warriors, the first thing I'm guessing you think of is Stephen Curry. He is the best player right now and is having one of the best seasons of all time. More on the Chef, I don't think we've ever seen a player as uniquely talented as Stephen Curry in NBA history. When you look at his small, slim, non athletic build, you can't call him the most naturally gifted player in the NBA. that award goes to LeBron, no doubt. But the kid is yet still the best shooter ever, at least as of this season, and can also get to the rack and score down low with ease as well. Even when you look at a player like Larry Bird, who couldn't jump over a dime, at least he had size going for him. Steph has nothing too natural about him and yet, he's the best player this year.

This team is not just Chef Curry, though. When you look at the best teams of all time, the 60's Celtics, the 80's Lakers, or the 90's Bulls, you see them loaded with talent. Take away Stephen Curry, and this team wouldn't be that great. Compared to the best dynasties of all time, Golden State isn't quite there in there talent. But there ball movement and outside scoring ability, they look way more talented then what I or others give them. The team's offense is so fast and effective it looks slim that they ever lose again (They will eventually lose...right?).

One of the scariest things about this team (and yes, I know I use "scary" as a good and bad thing in the world of sports) is the fact that they can go on a run and completely, 1000% change a game in an instant. Take the game against the Clippers. They got down by TWENTY POINTS relatively early. Then, somehow, someway, they won. Now take the game we just barely saw. The Warriors go down 21-16, then they score TWENTY TWO unanswered points and end the quarter up 44-18.

Will the Warriors ever lose again? Of course they will. No one will ever break the 88 game record set by UCLA. Will they break the record? It's never likely, but every game it looks more and  more likely. Will they win the championship? I don't know. It's hard to tell what teams will  be like when the playoffs are so far away. They have to stay extremely consistent. But for maybe the first time in my life (besides Kentucky last season) I'm going to say their chances will be better than 50% this season. Regardless, we need to realize we are in the middle of a Warriors dynasty.
