Yet for all the hype surrounding Curry, the reigning MVP, [Kobe] Bryant – who has subscribed to what he calls a "culture of conflict" for title teams – made it clear that fourth-year forward Draymond Green was the X-factor for the Warriors.

“The challenge for [the Warriors as defending champs] is going to be conflict,” Bryant explained. “You’ve got to have some kind of internal conflict that keeps the team on edge, you know what I mean? Because if not then it just becomes so easy. You kind of coast, and you kind of fall into a malaise. Draymond seems to be the guy who really drives the team every day in practice, and so they’re going to need to have some type of challenge internally to push themselves.”

How right he was. ...

But as Bryant knows as well as any of the greats, an occasional clash with the coach or a co-star is bound to happen when the stakes are this high. Heck, even the dust-ups with media members are part of a worn-out script. The same could be said about Michael Jordan, Kerr’s ruthless and relentless Chicago Bulls teammate with whom he won three titles.

So Draymond is the grain of sand that keeps the oyster of the Warriors producing pearls? Sounds okay to me.

Bellingham and Blaine are BFE - delivered many bikes to Canucks that would come over the border and meet me there.

On the up side, it's a fairly close drive to Vancouver, which is a really nice city and has a gorgeous coastal drive north.

That only matters for those that can get into Canada.
