Imagine if they remain undefeated until the Christmas Day matchup vs. the Cavaliers. The ratings for that game would be massive

Will be interesting to see whether fatigue sets in later in the season, but a nice start

*They only need to go 52-10 (83.8%) the remainder of the season to match the Bulls' record, but given that they won 81.7% last year that's still no small task.

Considering they way they blow out teams and can rest guys like Curry quite a lot, this could well not be a problem..

22-0

12-0 on the road.

Been incredible to watch.

Perfect last second alley-oop by Grizllies though, very unlucky indeed.

Was very well executed. Suns lost on about 8 buzzer beaters last season

We need a GSW prediction poll; do we wait until Christmas Day when the season starts to create one?

They are currently 4-0 on this 7 game road trip. Read...or perhaps heard on the radio that no team has every completed a 7 game road trip 7-0.

They're young enough I think to do it. There have been some pretty terrific teams recently, but either they lacked the legs or had the wisdom to not care about the record. Or maybe they simply got bored. This team is young, healthy (currently), not yet bored, and they could win 74 I think.

As long as their starters continue to get long stretches of rest, I think they will continue to go for it.

It's a shame the schedule doesn't have them playing San Antonio earlier.

Makes sense but that's an incredible stat. I think the Pacers will beat them tomorrow

It will be a tough one. Great seeing Paul George playing so well.

 

[AdamEFC]

Also think PG13 and the pacers will beat them, CJ Miles has been brilliant this year along with George who is fast becoming my favourite player with DWade getting on.

Thanks God for tele. Team fights hard and is always in games at the end. Just struggle to execute down the stretch
