Continuity alert

So remember the other day, when the Blob threw dirt on the grave of the Warriors dynasty, then shoveled some of it off again upon further reflection?

("No," you're saying).

Well ... I did. In fact, after writing that this wasn't the end but sure felt like it, I added this:

This being the NBA, all of the above may of course be a mere fantasy. There is no such thing as momentum in the NBA playoffs, no such thing as continuing. And so you could almost make book on the Warriors going into that delirious snakepit in Toronto and winning Game 5 ...

This just in from deflated Toronto last night: Warriors 106, Raptors 105.

Ahem.

And so it goes on, but the prospect of the Warriors winning three straight and throwing the Warriors-are-finished storyline onto the ash heap took a major hit when Kevin Durant went down again, this time with a suspected torn Achilles.  So there's that element to add to the mix as everyone heads back west to the Oracle, where the Warriors will surely win to force a decisive Gam--

Ahem.

There is no such thing as momentum in the NBA playoffs, no such thing as continuing ...

And so, again, you can almost make book on the Raptors going into the Oracle and ending the Warriors dynasty in front of their spoiled, hostile fans. It would be so like the NBA playoffs for tht to happen.

Stay tuned.
