One of the best things about being a long-time Golden State Warriors fan is watching the team rise from the scrap heap to the top of the NBA. The journey has plenty of benefits including: more national TV games, more hype around the Bay Area, yearly summer championship parades, etc.
My absolute favorite part, however, is hearing the pain from our terrorized rivals. That’s why Ric Bucher’s collection of interviews from the Houston Rockets bemoaning their collapse in the 2018 Western Conference Finals against the champs caught my eye, and sent the endorphines pumping through my bloodstream.
