Boston — Forget the late John Belushi, who didn’t know or care about the ever-later time at Bill Murray and Jane Curtin’s house very early in the execution of “Saturday Night Live.” There was a sketch I drew as a guest.
“Well, I’m glad you stopped by,” Yawning Murray tells Belushi.
Berusi begins reading their album. “Are there any other records?” He asks. “I think I’m going to borrow this.”
Then, when the off-screen announcer makes a noise, Curtin screams. It came without warning. They were polite. They were unaware that they were stuck …
A few years later, in 2018, the first moment after the third of his team NBA 4 year championship, Golden state GM’s Bob Myers was asked how he wanted to keep the Warriors’ regular season journey as fresh as the championship results they wanted.
“You have to like each other,” he said then. “You really have to like each other. You have to respect each other. You have to understand a few days, you don’t have it, and Your teammates have to pick you up. It’s the housewives who stay too long. You try to find people who are decent people at the worst moments. Even if you need space And it’s not anyone’s fault. You need to yell at each other. You have to convey your feelings to each other. There is suffering, there is division, there is everything.
“But unless you break. You have to look at it like a family — no matter what happens, we are blood and we will see it. But you It’s a challenge because it’s not really blood, but you’re as close as you can get, because you’re always with each other. You may meet more people than your family. Try to find people who are decent people in the worst moments, everything you can do, because the worst moments will come. “
And that was four years ago!
At that moment, Myers didn’t know it Kevin Durant He will have to trade and will walk Andre Iguodala To help pay for it, or it Klay Thompson Tear the ACL with a useless defense of the Warriors title Toronto 2019, or Thompson tore Achilles a year later, 15-50 will be the record for the actual Warriors regular season, or Draymond Green His enthusiasm will be lost or dub will have to absorb as the losses pile up D’Angelo Russell Take a leaflet Andrew Wiggins..
And Kelly Oubre had a salary of $ 80 million and a luxury tax. (It’s not a shot at Oubre, a solid kid and a good player. Sometimes things go wrong, do you know?)
But that all happened. Even though many of the team’s cores seem to be on the other side of the 30 to compete for the championship.was Sands When Hair clippers And Revlon Denver When Utah When Memphis And Luka in the west is all hungry, trying to keep the Warriors from returning to the top.
But here it is again.

It’s appropriate for the Warriors to return to the top again when the NBA basically said “finished with COVID-19” and more or less returned to normal. I refuse to leave.
Hall of Fame Chris Webber has this wonderful saying about the championship team. Often they are not the most talented or best coaches. They are usually the most stubborn.
“We’re very stubborn,” Green defeated Thursday after Golden State won its fourth NBA title since 2015. Boston Game 6 103-90. “And it has been tested. You get injured. You get hit in the mouth several times. And it requires incredible resilience, a sense of unity, and trust in each other.”
Stubbornness was at the heart of Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, and Kobe Bryant’s Maien. No matter how much they won, they were never satisfied and never satisfied. And they never turned down seemingly nasty thoughts in search of more victories. DetroitDid you start Dennis Rodman ahead of Mark Agweile while defending the championship? of course.
Is Houston trying to get a second ring in exchange for the dilapidated Clyde Drexler? Do it.Chicago Ringing Rodman, Famous Bulls I hate it, jump start to the second city and second sleep? Why not? Did San Antonio and Stephen Jackson return to their second tour after burning almost every bridge in town and win more? absolutely.
And if that means Stephen CurryRehab the sprained leg at the start of the playoffs, get off the bench, Jordan poole Will it start? Has completed.
The Warriors are a stubborn group, like the great championship teams that precede them.
“I like that word,” Curry said. “I’ve heard that this season, especially two years ago, after suffering the worst record and many injuries in the league, he was scratched while trying to participate in a play-in tournament. The playoff berth. Just to get the land. We definitely had that spirit, the belief and faith in what we could do. We kept saying that all year long — of our championship. DNA. And my own leadership, Draymond, Andre, Rune (Kevon Looney), Clay. All of that was important.
“And without knowing how it ends, you keep it for three years. All you can do is control that belief, and behind the scenes, how you appear every day, you Embodies it. And when it comes time to take advantage of the opportunity, things click. “
The Warriors will no longer self-immolate their enemies with Prime Splash Brothers shotmaking or squeeze their attacks with their original Deathlineup. They somehow created their two tracks, the original core, and the next generation of teamwork. James Wiseman When Jonathan Kuminga When Moses Moody They didn’t rush into normal rotation after a few minutes of stretching, but they tasted. The pool was an unstable and irreplaceable bridge between the old guards and the young guns. Thompson finally returned to the floor after missing more than 900 days of rehab. Steve Kerr and his staff may have done their best coaching job During this championship.
Not all or everyone worked. Kent Bazemore did not do it. I didn’t do Oubre.And no golden state was obtained Patty MillsWho signed Brooklyn..However, their defenses became stuffy again as they fell into the right gear in the playoffs and Wiggins became a revelation to protect Boston. Jayson Tatum..
“I will own this team for a long time,” co-owner Joe Racob said on the TD Garden floor. “And I’m going to win as many championships as I can. Winning is everything. That’s it. That’s all I care about. I do whatever I need. The truth is, we are in this organization. It means having really smart people to work, and we’re usually going to understand it and be really good people, that is, still great players are back (after the 15-50 season). And we believed in the Wiggins deal. I know many didn’t. But we thought he would fit. All players need to be regained. Yes. Really, not everyone was back until this year’s playoffs. 11 minutes of what I was trying to put together in the last few years. Steph was injured. All of these were injured. “
If the curry is re-injured Al Horford It fell on his leg at the moment of the decline of Game 3, he didn’t show it much after that. However, tears fell on his face, and his expression broke up in the last few seconds of Game 6. He is an indispensable man, “Steph is ultimately the reason why this run happened,” Kerr said. And one of the best winners in league history. And he is as competitive and greedy as his predecessor who dominated the league as he is doing again.
“Two months ago I was injured,” Curry said. “We were sliding in a defensive assessment. We’ve stepped a bit on the road to the postseason, and it’s clear that we need to peak at the right time. I don’t know what the rotation will be, I don’t know what the chemistry will be. And I’m curious if we don’t do it. It’s funny to think about it. All the stories have been rewarded. Reveal your destiny in a particular way. Its stubbornness of who we are is more important than what everyone is saying about us. That’s why we are here. “
