It is the fuel of the Golden State Warriors dynasty, and quite frankly Dub Nation’s thirst for it is reaching drought levels. The champs’ record is 26-14. In 2009 a record like that would have sent Warriors fans banging on their neighbors doors shouting the good news. In 2019, in the era of multiple Golden State championships, that same record sends waves of murmuring and complaining throughout the Golden Empire who seem to have replaced “We Believe” with “Win by 25 or GTFOH”.
The champs know the only way to keep their fans satisfied during the doldrums of January, several months before the postseason, is to weaponize some joy.
