1. The games have to be played

It’s the cliche to end all cliches, but there’s a reason they play the games. As mentioned above, there were several teams presumed to be unbeatable, but they all fell at some point. Every dynasty comes to an end and no NBA team ever reaches a point where there are no more worlds to conquer. Just as the 2014 Spurs ended the mini-dynasty of the Miami Heat, and the 1989 Pistons ended the decade long run of the Showtime Lakers, some team will eventually beat the Warriors. We do not know who it will be or when it will happen, but it will, and it would be a shame to tune out of the NBA world, assuming we know what is going to happen before it does, only to miss the fall.

I do not know if the Warriors will win the championship next year or the year after that, but I do know that there is a season coming, sooner rather than later, that will end with another team from another city led by another superstar raising high the Larry O’Brien trophy and I’m sure their journey there will be thrilling and absolutely worth the wait.
