5 Games the Golden State Warriors Could Have Lost During the Streak
By Segun Giwa
1. Nov. 19 @ LAC (Choke City, Never Change)
Que the Clippers roster with the Michael Jordan crying face photo shopped on their faces!
The Clippers continued their franchise’s chokeathon, despite an off night for Curry and a super hot start by the Clips. Chris Paul returned from injury and got off to a 7/7 start, dropping 18 points in the first quarter.
The national televised game was the perfect stage for the Clippers to lose their 23 point lead. They lead 68-54 at the half, taking full advantage of Curry’s foul trouble and the Dub’s inability to hit shots. Harrison Barnes started getting buckets in the third quarter and with Green hitting a 3 at the 3rd quarter buzzer the Warriors were only down by 6 heading into the 4th.
After a couple 3s by HB and Andre the game was over, and Dubnation took over the Staples Center as usual. This game showed the national audience that the Warriors are NEVER out of a game and confirmed the Clippers as the Warriors’ sons. Complete ownage. If you ask me, the Clippers don’t seem like they’ve recovered from their two losses to the Warriors, and they’ve fallen into the pretender category this season.
The Warriors start to the ’16 season is the most impressive start in sports history. It ended Saturday night, but I’m pretty sure the league caught onto the message the Warriors were trying to send. This season should be really fun.
