In this leave-no-doubt campaign for the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry and his crew of fun-loving executioners have made it their duty to demoralize foes, break their spirits and then merrily dance around their carcasses. After the first two games of the NBA Finals, the Warriors had LeBron James so flustered, so worried that he would be the last conquered soul on the defending champions' quest for immortality, that he broke from his normal postgame routine and rushed to the first bus out of Oracle Arena to immediately watch film. On the lengthy ride back to the team hotel in San Francisco after Game 2, James broke down the Cleveland Cavaliers' pathetic performance while seated next to James Jones, the lone teammate to join James on his six straight trips to the Finals.
