The Warriors have 17 assists on their 20 made FGs so far. That's absurd.
Go Suns!

Kobe 1 for 9 in the 1st half. Now shooting 32% for the season.

Warriors 16-0. Best start ever. Nice to see them get it against the hated Lakers.

Now let's make sure they don't make it to 17!

One of my buddies offered 60:1 odds that the Warriors stay undefeated by Christmas Day. I went in on that bet at roughly 1.5 dollars.

He ended up finishing the night shooting 1 of 14. Spurstalk has been giving Kobe and the Lakers hell from the beginning of the season and now they're just piling it on.

You should have bet more. I think it's highly unlikely they stay undefeated that long. They don't play a lot of elite teams, but they do have a 7 game eastern road trip. They won't go 7-0 on that.

I keep posting in the SpursTalk Kobe FG% tracking thread. It's good fun.

Thanks T but I think I bet the other side, that they will be undefeated by Christmas, that's why the odds are so high, right? Actually I'm unfamiliar with betting in general so I'm not even sure if that's a good bet or not. I did it more as a joke...

oh, i gotcha. Then ya that's a decent bet. I was confused at why he was so convinced GS would be undefeated that long. My bad.

Bryce Cotton's highlights from his career high game last year with Utah. The lob dunk is pretty impressive.

That is obviously a highlight reel, but he plays like a mix of Bledsoe with Booker's shooting stroke.

I wonder what Archie is thinking when we bring in a guy like this.

Archie did a great job tonight with the minutes given. He still surprises me at times. And he's still only 21. Some of us were still photoshopping dildos at that age. :P
