Minute to go, looks like they've ended the 18 year losing streak in SA and tied the Bulls. Gotta give it up to these guys, they're making it really tough at the end of the year by losing to lesser teams, but keep stepping up against the top teams. Last game at home is no gimme, but think most didn't give them a shot to run the table after that Twolves loss.
Lots are making the argument that their players need rest, but Curry's minutes have been pretty moderate all year (he's sat like a dozen or more 4th quarters, and all the guys that needed to get healthy are back (Festus, Bogut, Iguadola). I actually think going for the record, as opposed to sitting guys, will help them by keeping them sharp. I'd rather enter the playoffs having won "must win" type games, as opposed to playing out the final month on cruise control. No matter what, this has been a fun ride.

I am reluctant to dismiss what the Warriors have done the past two seasons with a "Back in my day..." hand wave. That isn't to say they are better than the great dynasties of NBA past, but they also have a superstar doing things no one else in the history of the game has ever done. The Warriors use the three-point shot like no other dynasty in the history of the league.
Curry is the first player ever to shoot 50% from the field, 40% on three pointers, 90% from the line and lead the league in scoring. Curry was the first player ever to hit 300 three pointers in league history, and be broke the 400 mark before any other player in the history of the league ever got to 300 three pointers in a season. I am old enough to remember prime Larry Bird and what a feared, deadly three-pointer shooter he was. In Bird's greatest three-point shooting season, he still made less than 25 percent of the three-pointers Curry made this season. Curry has made more three-pointers over the past two seasons than Larry Bird made in his entire career. That's how the game has evolved, and the Warriors take advantage of that better than anyone else. The four greatest seasons in terms of three-point field goals made in a season are three seasons by Steph Curry and one by Klay Thompson. IMO, it is difficult to justify that the current Warriors team would not belong on the court with any of the great teams of the past when they are so proficient at perfecting the modern NBA game of an offense that exploits the three-point shot.

Curry is phenomenal. Best pure outside shooter I can remember since Reggie Miller. Congratulations on winning 73! I'll be pulling for you guys in the playoffs.

Re- comments about how they play, and have taken advantage of the 3 (among other great things they do-- pass unselfishly, rebound, play strong D) like no other team before them... I've heard the suggestion that the NBA move the 3 point line out further to balance things out. Funny thing is, if they did so, it would probably just benefit the Warriors more. At one point this season, Steph was hitting over 60% of his shots from 28 feet or more, including half courters. I don't think Klay minds shooting from 30 feet either. Unreal.
