Golden State Warriors - Harrison Barnes Sprained Ankle

Harrison Barnes

Golden State Warriors' forward Harrison Barnes sprained  his left ankle and missed the remainder of Friday night's 135-116 win over the Phoenix Suns.

Barnes is doubtful for Saturday night;s game against the Sacramento Kings, as the Warriors will look to extend their winning record 17-0 at Oracle Arena.

The injury occurred when Barnes was guarding the Suns forward Markieff Morris when he landed on Morris' foot. The ensuing fall caused Barnes to grab below his knee. He was helped to the locker room by trainers and teammates.

Barnes finished with seven points and seven rebounds on 3-of-5 shooting in 21 minutes of action. On the season, he is averaging 13.4 points per game and five rebounds per game with a player efficiency rating of 16.45.

The Warriors interim coach Luke Walton, who is in the head coach seat until coach Steve Kerr returns said that it wasn't know how long Barnes might be out with this injury.

Golden State Warriors Road To Making History

Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors improve to 15-0 with 118-105 victory Sunday over the Denver Nuggets.

With being one win away from making history of their own, the Golden State Warriors have joined the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and 1993-94 Houston Rockets as the only other teams to hit the 15-0 start to a season.

Even though the Warriors are sharing the Record with the Rockets and Capitols, no NBA team has ever had a better start to a season as the number show. Number don't lie.


Dating back to the 2014-2015 season, Sunday's win marks the Warriors' 19th straight regular-season victory.

The defending NBA champions will return to Oracle Arena for their date with the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday on TNT as they strive to be the first team in NBA history to win their first 16 games of the season.

Sunday against the Nuggets, Klay Thompson led the way for Golden State, scoring 21 points on 7-of-16 shooting, including a game-high four made 3-pointers. Reigning league MVP Stephen Curry chipped in 19 points (his lowest scoring total of the season) and seven assists, while Harrison Barnes added 17 points, three steals and four steals in the win. This was Barnes' first game under 20 points in the last 3 games for the Warriors.


This 2015-2016 Warriors team is being measured to the great, some would say unstoppable 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls team, that won a NBA record 72 games and winning the NBA championship against the Seattle Supersonics (The first of the second three-peat).


Though this 2015-2016 Warriors team is being compared to the Bulls, critics and fans should not have them in the same boat yet, as that Bulls team had not only one three-peat but two in their time together. It should not be overlooked that we are witnessing the rise of a Warriors dynasty but the rings (3 or more) are not their YET, no comparison needs to be made at this time.

Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Clippers

Stephen Curry & Chris Paul
This has to be one of the most heated rivalries in the NBA today, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors have absolutely no love for one another when they go to battle against one another!

Even after picking up 2 early fouls in the first quarter, All-Star Stephen Curry was his normal self Wednesday night scoring 31 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter that led the defending champion Golden State Warriors to their fifth straight win, leaving off where they left of last year, as they beat the Los Angeles Clippers 112-108.
The Warriors Forward Harrison Barnes came alive during the fourth quarter playing great defense, by getting a key block on Shooting Guard Jamal Crawford and on the offensive end scoring 17 points, 10 consecutive sparking the big run that helped Golden State overcome a 10-point deficit to knock off its most hated rival.

Center Festus Ezeli had one of his two blocks of the night on power forward Blake Griffin during the first quarter, also adding 12 points, four rebounds, and two assists. Most of Ezeli's buckets came from the non-selfish Draymond Green.

Chris Paul scored 24 points and Blake Griffin added 23 for the Clippers, who also had won their first four games of the season to give extra meaning to this early season match-up.
Stephen Curry also added "We are better than we were last year" during his Post game interview. Some may say this is just more luck for the Warriors but at their pace they will repeat!
An offseason war of words that has been waged between Clippers coach Doc Rivers and several Warriors about what role luck played in their championship last season only added to the drama. Doc is a firm believer in his team this season, and has no doubt that his Clippers team can beat the Warriors as they did in game 7 during the 2014 playoffs.

The reigning MVP has played a big role. Curry has scored 179 points, the most through five games since Michael Jordan had 182 in 1991-92. Curry alone has also made more 3-pointers this season than 5 teams in the NBA.

Golden State Warriors - Champs not looking back

Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have stormed out of the gates this season, starting off where they left off from last season winning the NBA Championship.

Don't expect a championship hangover from Golden State, they successfully beat Anthony Davis and the  New Orleans Pelicans twice to start off the new season, both by double digits. As well as taking care of the MVP runner up James Harden and his Houston Rockets by 20 points. The Warriors are showing no mercy to any opponents.

Reigning MVP Stephen Curry is not giving any breathing air to other players in the league to take is MVP trophy as he records his 3rd 20+ point quarter of the year as the Warriors beat the Grizzlies 119-69, improving to 4-0.
