Klay Thompson Believes Golden State Warriors Can Reach 70 Wins

The Golden State Warriors continue to sizzle, romping to its fourth straight win via another thrashing this time at the expense of a fellow Western Conference favorite, the Memphis Grizzlies 119-69.

As in the past three games, reigning MVP Steph Curry was at the forefront of it all yet again. After scoing 53 points last time out against the New Orleans Pelicans, Curry scored 30 this time, 21 coming in the third quarter.

With the game outcome decided, the Warriors didn’t bother to field in Curry in the fourth.

With the obvious goal of making it back-to-back, the Warriors are certainly looking good with a 4-0 start. Though it is still too early in the season, the streak could lead to something like perhaps reaching the 72-win plateau which was last achieved by the Chicago Bulls back during 1995-96.

One person who believes that they can achieve the feat is Curry’s Splash brother Klay Thompson. But to do that, Thompson bares through the Bay Area News that the team needs to stay healthy and hope that lady luck doesn’t frown on them. So far, lady luck has been smiling

Setting sights on that does seem a bit premature at this point though the Warriors have slowly planted the tiny things that could make it happen. With four wins under their belt, all they have to do is win 68 more to achieve the feat.

Would this not be added pressure on their part as they journey on to defend and cop back-to-back NBA titles? Some believe such is the case though their hot start is certainly something not many had expected.

With all the attention on the retooled teams like the Los Angeles Clippers and the San Antonio Spurs, the Warriors weren’t making as much noise though it doesn’t seem that they cared. Bringing in practically the same core and shying away from the limelight, the Warriors are obviously making a statement that they will not be pushovers this season.

The Warriors could or could not target that 70-win mark but such is seen as a consolation. The main goal is to win another title and records are not important once the post season comes around.

Having a good record in the regular season doesn’t translate to an NBA title and many who have had the best record have fallen in the past. For now, the Warriors just have to hope and pray that their core players stay healthy and take it one game at a time before looking up at the team standings to see where they stand.
