Overreacting to one game is a mug’s game. Overreacting to two games, on the other hand, is a sign of maturity and grace.
To paraphrase Maya Angelou, when an NBA basketball team shows you over and over again who they are over the course of 82 games, you should believe them the first time. Monday night, the Golden State Warriors yet again showed us who they are when they fell to the Sacramento Kings, 114-106, in Game 2 of their first-round series. They just couldn’t shake a sloppy and all-too-familiar half-competent, half-drunk first half, even as they made a mad rush late.
