Imagine the Warriors walking off the floor, dejected and exhausted, having fallen just short of winning a critical Game 5. Oracle Arena buzzing with a nervous fear after their raucous screaming wasn't enough of a boost.
Imagine the angst of a fan base as their beloved Warriors face elimination, facing a Game 6 on the road, against the Los Angeles Clippers, the team that would most love to break their heart.Imagine a coaching staff running out of answers, having used the entire bench, every play in the book, orated every speech they know trying to get players who've never carried this large a load to hold it up one more game.
