Utah is pretty good.

Yeah I didn't see what was so funny. Utah isn't the Sixers or something. Utah is difficult at home and are even more difficult when you're playing them on the 2nd night of a B2B

Nah, it was funny because people are hoping for the Warriors to beat the 72-10 and now they start losing..

Warriors might set the record, but they've also had some close encounters against lesser teams. Should have lost at home to the Nets and nearly lost in Philly. Kings even hung around with them into the 4th Q without Boogie. Going in it wouldn't have shocked me if they won this game by double digits just like it wouldn't have shocked me if they lost.

Even if they lose tonight they're likely going to get the record. Right now it is just a matter of them finishing 73-9 or 74-8. Only other game I see them possibly losing is in San Antonio next Sunday and that's only if the Spurs actually play their starters

Both games against Spurs, I don't see Pop going serious mode like the last time they met. He already knows how to beat them, and just prepare his players for the Playooffs. I guess he won't be risking a L with all his starters playing, against he Warriors before they meet in WCF.

My guess is he play the starters in San Antonio just for the undefeated record. Highly doubt any of the starters play Thursday in Golden State

POP is going to troll the Warriors and sit all his players in both games....voluntarily forfeit them on purpose to make it seem silly.

it devalues the accomplishment in the minds of stubborn old hardliners and messes with their heads as well.

You really need to know who you're guarding. Up 3 in the final seconds of a game, there is no reason for Curry or Thompson to ever get an uncontested look. If they make a contested shot in you're face then that's a different story but to give Klay 2 wide open looks to tie the game in pretty embarrassing

TONY PARKER said the Spurs are purposely not going to play their starters in either game

It is actually very brilliant trolling.

There is zero reason to risk them and a slight gain in mind fuckery.

Yeah it makes no sense. They're clearly not catching the Warriors.

I'm curious how people will look at the Warriors this season if they don't win the title
