Kemba Walker is absolutely loving life as part of the Boston Celtics. On Friday, the C's logged their 10th straight victory in a 105-100 win against a hapless Golden State Warriors side. Following the historic win, the 6-foot point guard shared how ecstatic he is with the victory.
Kemba: “I’ve never won this many games in a row. I’ve never had a start like this. I’m just loving the way I’m feeling after games.”

Having spent his first eight years in the NBA with the Charlotte Hornets — a side that does not exactly have an exceedingly ambitious winning culture — it is completely understandable why Walker is in Cloud 9 after winning 10 victories in a row. This is not something that any team is able to accomplish everyday, so kudos to Walker and the Celtics for their scorching hot start to the new season.
Walker's outstanding play thus far has definitely had a lot to do with Boston's tremendous run, with the three-time All-Star currently averaging 24.5 points (on 41.2 percent shooting), 5.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.7 blocks, and just 1.9 turnovers, while also connecting on 4.3 3-pointers per ballgame on a 42.3-percent clip.
Those are definitely some All-Star caliber numbers right there, with Kemba hoping to make it four straight years as an All-Star this term. The recent unfortunate injury of Gordon Hayward will force Walker into an even more central role for the team, as Boston hope to carry on with their hot streak.
The C's are currently in the midst of a five-game road trip out West, with a back-to-back set scheduled on Sunday and Monday against the Sacramento Kings and the Phoenix Suns, respectively. After that, Boston will face two of their toughest tests this season, as they take on the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, followed by a matchup against the Denver Nuggets on Friday to end the road trip.
