Monday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers have led many fans and media to sound the "the championship window is closed" alarm. I'm not one of them. Last time I checked, the Calendar read December and the Larry O'Brien trophy isn't handed out until June (unless David Stern has gone to some split season ala minor league baseball).
