Golden State Warriors Making it Look Easy Again

San Antonio only has three less wins than Golden State does, with their record of 23-5.

The Milwaukee Bucks had already ended the Golden State Warriors’ season-opening streak and then dared to end their home winning streak at Oracle Arena. They dropped the final three games of their six-game homestand.

The Golden State Warriors got back on the winning track Wednesday night with a 128-103 blowout of the visiting Phoenix Suns, and Klay Thompson exploded for a season-high 43 points.

While Carter-Williams, who was traded in February, has had a rough go of it over the past 10 months, his game against Golden State was one of his best of the season.

The Warriors arrived into Milwaukee at 3 am on the morning of the game, but with the Bucks only getting home following their loss in Toronto at 1 am, neither side had ideal preparations.

There will be more opportunities to get motivated for the Warriors. Apparently that’s what Green took exception to.

Thompson hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Warriors the lead for good, eventually finishing 8 for 13 from beyond the arc. “We competed. If we play with that kind of energy every time we take the court, we’ll win a lot more games”.

Green wasn’t in the mood to credit the Bucks afterward for making things hard for the Warriors.

Warriors forward Draymond Green specifically remembers what former Syracuse University star Michael Carter-Williams did at the end of that game and made sure to get in a shot at Williams in an interview with KNBR.

Bucks guard Michael Carter-Williams, after executing a last-minute slam dunk with most of the Warriors’ starters out of the game, proceeded to look toward the bench. Now I’m not saying that that’s our whole team…It ain’t no hard feelings. “They had no problem running and we couldn’t contain them”. At the end of the day he’s a heck of a player. “Show your class, you know”.

Bogut left the game with a back sprain after playing five minutes, and according to coach Luke Walton, the center reported soreness in warm-ups and that he was hurting in the game. Also similar to the Warriors, the Spurs have been streaking as well. The 10-17 team that heard all about Warriors fans who would come dressed in “10-18” shirts didn’t play anything like their record would suggest.

That’s a bit rich coming from a team with this history. “One thing about them, they’ve got a championship confidence”, George said. Most of the teams that were thought to be competition to them were shut down effortlessly.

The Warriors don’t want to believe that though. Unfortunately, while the Warriors will probably be waiting in the NBA Finals next summer, the Bucks probably won’t even make the postseason.

The Milwaukee Bucks continued to be a true nemesis for the league’s defending champions. That’s about the highest compliment an National Basketball Association team can be paid.

Mayo, however, said he didn’t understand what the big deal was about what he called his “little love tap”.
