What scares the Golden State Warriors?

The Golden State Warriors’ presumptive waltz to the 2017 NBA Championship got off to a scary start as they were overwhelmed by the undead horde that is the San Antonio Spurs. After sweating out wins against the lesser New Orleans Pelicans and Phoenix Suns they suddenly appear to be very mortal. With that smell of blood in the water, will other teams be able to pounce while the Warriors are licking their wounds? Or will this early season stumble just be an inconsequential blip at the beginning of the Kevin Durant era?

To help answer these questions, Warriors World contributor Sam Esfandiari (@samesfandiari) joins Fastbreak Breakfast to talk all things Golden State, including breakfast burritos, #WeBelieve and Vonteego Cummings. Was the blowout loss a harbinger of doom? Can the Warriors sustain the confident swagger and aura of invincibility that has allowed them to play loose and free, casually taking and making 30-foot bombs? Will a certain anonymous NBA team need to scrap their computer model that predicted 83-0?
