Was It Not Real?

This is June 7 PAUSE: A moment of silence for the "date that will live in infamy." UNPAUSE. Was it really just one month ago, exactly one month ago, on May 7, that the Greatest Team in History lost to NBA COTY Terry Stotts's Starbucks "Trailblazers" by two touchdowns? It was.

Was it really just three weeks ago that Oklahoma City came thundering into the Oracle and beat The Greatest by a TD? Yes.

Just over two weeks since OKC BLEW GOLDEN STATE OUT of the entire state of Oklahoma, 133-105, a game that they led by 37?!

Exactly two weeks ago when the "Thunder" roared past Foldin' State again by 24 points?! A combined 52 point margin, greater than the 48 by which GS has embalmed the "Cadavers"?

Thirteen days since Rolling Stone published "The Death of the Golden State Warriors"?

Eight days since the "Dubyas" completed their nail-biting comeback, by 9, 7, and 8 points to GET to these Finals against Cleveland?

Are our attention spans really that short?

Ladies and gentlemen, Golden State is a vulnerable team. They can be beaten, they have been beaten, and like a rented mule!, four times in a month. They can be beaten by Cleveland. They will not be beaten four of the next five by Cleveland, Golden State will win the NBA championship again, but Golden State can be beaten in a seven game series and they are NOT the greatest team of all time. Period there.
