I’m a few too many championships into this dynastic run to start getting nervous in March, barring catastrophic injuries. It’s not like we’re about to join the March Madness tournament.
I understand that the Golden State Warriors are getting a little older, a little wiser, and have learned championships can’t be won during Lent. There will be games where they feel threatened and rip the heart out of a contender, like they’ve repeatedly done to #2 seeded Denver.
There will also be games that the Splash Bros will cough up a loss after repeatedly bricking 30-foot bombs and carelessly throwing away possessions searching for the big plays that turn them on, like in the loss to tanking Phoenix.
