Every time I hear about what a troubling time this is for Golden State Warriors fans, I’m almost immediately reminded of the degree to which we’re wallowing in first world problems.
First of all, nobody is really thinking that the Warriors are at-risk of falling short of a third consecutive NBA title, the fourth in five years. Anybody that is contemplating that possibility should probably consider that if this team could overcome a 3-2 deficit in the Western Conference Finals against an exceptional opponent, they can probably overcome an argument between two of their four All-Stars (or shall I say two of their five All-Stars since DeMarcus Cousins is still rehabbing and seems to be on track to contribute this season).
