If you’ve had the kind of success the Golden State Warriors have had over the last few years – three titles in the last four seasons – you’re bound to engender some hard feelings along the way. To say the least.
When you stand head and shoulders above the league – and have for a number of years now – you’re going to exist in a fishbowl with everybody scrutinizing your every move, and every breath. You’re also bound to collect those people who are so invested in your downfall that they’ll find (or invent) any reason whatsoever to trumpet your demise.
