Kawakami: The Warriors briefly admire their diamond rings, then thrash New Orleans

OAKLAND -- The last full story was so good that the Warriors waited as long as possible to close the book on it.

Months and months. Great months. Blissful months.But all parties and great tales must eventually end, and finally and gracefully on Tuesday, Stephen Curry and his teammates got their 2015 NBA championship rings and raised the title banner at Oracle Arena.Yes, everybody in that story lived happily ever after. With gargantuan diamond rings. The end.Then, a few minutes after the rings were tucked away, the Warriors cracked open the new book, with almost all of the same personalities and definitely the same lead character.
