They didn't lose to the bucks.
They lost to a Celtics/bucks dual team effort

Not really. You play the team in front of you, no more, no less. You want to argue that the if they played these 2 teams in the opposite order, the results would have been flipped? Enjoy your hypotheticals - in this reality they lost to the bucks.

No one is saying they didn't lose to the bucks. And no one is putting an extra win in the Celtics record. But if you think Friday nights game had nothing to do with the loss last night, then you don't know basketball
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Every game has some impact on every other game, and obviously the Warriors' and Bucks' Friday night game impacted their performance last night; the Warriors were tired and the Bucks were motivated after a poor showing. Also, obviously the Bucks had more to prove on their home court than the Warriors did (if you watched the game, their fan base was IMO more into the game than the other recent Warriors' subjects that I saw, IMO). But the Warriors were plain outplayed on both sides of the court. They also aren't going to be hitting 50% from the 3 pt line the entire season.  But once you start blaming victories and losses on external factors, ein ladavar sof.

Not crazy at all. First of all, that particular stat is stupid and arbitrary. The exact stat is that no team has ever been unbeaten on a single road trip of 7 games or longer. However, in a given year, a team won't even necessarily have a single road trip of 7 games or longer. If you look at the warriors, for example, they've had one 7 game road trip every other year over the last 5-10 years. But maybe more importantly, it's not surprising because it's a lot of factors stacking against you. It's at least a little harder to win on the road overall. Add to that the fact that a road trip starts taking a toll the longer it goes. If every team had one such road trip every year, statistically speaking it would be pretty surprising if we didn't have an unbeaten 7 game road trip. But the sheer number of opportunities is much smaller than one might think.

Also, the Spurs won 8 in a row on a single road trip in '03 - the inaugural Rode Road Trip - but the lost the first game of the trip (it was a 9 game trip), so they're disqualified.

And therefore what? There are a million factors that go into who wins a game: team health, matchups, refereeing, etc. etc. None of that goes on your record. What goes on your record is that you won or lost the team you played that night. If the NBA stupidly scheduled the Warriors 5 consecutive game on 5 consecutive nights and they lost the 5th one, would you say they lost to the first 4 teams?

atdhe.to (and many other extensions) is ok. I use Ballstreams, which costs me ~$60 for 2 seasons (you can pause an annual subscription during the offseason). Not sure if they're accepting new subscriptions, but the stream quality is consistantly excellent, often has home/away streams, works well on tables/phones, and, oh ya, has no ads.

There are rumors that they are about to get shut down

I know this technically deserves its own thread, but that ending was sick. I don't know why I was watching but I'm happy I was.
