'Is it all coming together for the Warriors, somehow, despite everything? Maybe! Maybe not!'
Left to right, Kevon Looney, Stephen Curry, Donte DiVincenzo and Klay Thompson revel in Thursday night's beatdown of the Clippers in San Francisco.There’s nothing quite like dismantling the Los Angeles Clippers on TNT to remedy the soul.
It’s a reminder — sort of — that they’re still capable — to some extent — of flipping the proverbial switch. And the way the Western Conference logjam is shaking out, pretty much every game here on out is going to be a dress rehearsal for a new last stand. It’s a precarious moment but suddenly not an insurmountable one. This is the beginning of what the team hopes is a long grind indeed, one that goes until June and ends with a fifth trophy in nine seasons.
, a return to third quarter dominance, Gary Payton II smiling on the bench … is it all coming together, somehow, despite everything? Maybe! Maybe not! Trying to wrap this season up in a cohesive narrative has not been easy. But again, with the caveat that the universe is a random, often sadistic place, this recent stretch of necessary competence should be applauded.
It doesn’t have to make sense; I’m just going to believe, because we still love this team, and hope for the best, because that’s the parasocial relationship demanded by giving yourself over to something as goofy as a kid’s game writ large. We don’t get obsessed with this stuff because we’re normal, rational people. We get obsessed with it because we want to believe in something bigger than we are and because we still believe in spectacle. That’s the one thing we have in common with Joe Lacob.
The hope now for the team is that the arrival of the cavalry will push them into another stratosphere. While it’s pretty unlikely this team will flip the switch and become the 1996 Bulls, it’s actually, amusingly plausible that they can become the 2021-22 Warriors. That team was imperfect, and IIt helps to define “cavalry.” Stephen Curry, obviously, that’s a guy you want playing basketball for you! He’s pretty good at what he does. A solid contributor.
