[French Rage]

The Warriors’ first championship in this stretch was pre-Durrant.

BC

True, but it was also seven years ago.  To come back and do it again with extra age made an additional statement.  And how much they brought the young guys into it too.  How many commentators are saying "look how much Looney/Wiggins/Pooler/GP2 improved this season!"?  I don't think that's by accident that every second-level player suddenly had the best season and playoffs of their lives.  They found a way to get the most out of their core but then also wonderfully integrate the young guys into things when the opponent found a way to focus on the core three (four if we count Igudoula).
