OKC is the new elite team.
I’m not ready for it either. What an incredible run. Nothing lasts forever and although Curry is nearly immortal, tempus fugit. I guess I should just chill and hope for the best.

The era is over. Time to start over from top to bottom. New coach. New team. Another Kerr/Curry/Thompson/Green combo may take years, decades. Great run. Command-alt-delete. Restart.

Aloha Donna. Well…risked using a throw away word at #5 to figure out letter placement. Gamble worked out. Not a spectacular showing, but streak remains alive.
