The Moans of a Blossomed Sister in lawGolden State Warriors won a record 73 games last season. They made the NBA Finals in consecutive seasons, and boasted back-to-back Most Valuable Players when Steph Curry won the award twice.
That was before the team signed Kevin Durant.
Acquiring the former MVP in July put the Warriors' expectations through the roof. They went from being a dominant team to being touted as one of the best in NBA history.
Naturally, when the Warriors got smacked by the San Antonio Spurs, 129-100, in the home opener on Tuesday night, people were surprised.
Well, Warriors fans were surprised.

The rest of the NBA -- tired of hearing the hype about Golden State and the inevitable bandwagon that accompanies it -- was absolutely stoked.

Of course, one loss over the course of an 82-game season is relatively meaningless. And as Deadspin pointed out, super teams often take time to find their groove.
There's plenty of basketball to be played. The NBA can laugh -- just for today, at least.
