The Golden State Warriors are still getting made fun of for last year's NBA Finals collapse - a series in which they built up a 3-1 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers before falling apart and watching LeBron James and company win the series in seven games.

Winning an NBA-record 73 games during the regular season last year was basically rendered irrelevant in the wake of the stunning playoff collapse, and several Warriors players are still reeling from the defeat.

Count sharpshooter Stephen Curry among the Golden State stars still thinking about what could have been at the end of last season.

In a Q&A session with The Undefeated, Curry said he's only watched Game 7 of last year's Finals a couple of times because it's too painful to see him and his teammates fail to capitalize on a 3-1 lead:

"I’ve only watched the game twice," he said. "I only think about things I could’ve done differently to help my team win, knowing I gave everything I had and obviously came up short. I want to try to redeem myself."

Obviously, there's not much to be gained at this point by Curry subjecting himself to that sort of emotional torture, but he added that there are a couple of things that still get to him when he thinks about that game.

Curry said the late-game heroics of Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving still haunt him, as he was unable to match the Cleveland star shot-for-shot as time was winding down:

"The last six minutes of Game 7. You feel like you could go back and do a couple things differently to get your team over the hump," he said. "It’s crazy. Honestly, Kyrie [Irving] made a key [late] shot. That helped seal the deal for them, win it and have a comeback. Had that shot not gone down for them or the ball bounced a different way a possession or two before … it’s just crazy how that defining moment changes the narrative of everything."

Indeed, the narrative changed from Curry and the Warriors starting a dynasty on the back of the greatest season ever to LeBron delivering on a promise to bring a title to Cleveland in a matter of minutes.

However, this year's Golden State team is different. With Kevin Durant on board, the 67-15 Warriors are once again the NBA's best regular-season team and are a heavy favorite to reach the Finals for a third-straight summer.

LeBron and the Cavs, on the other hand, have lost four-straight games entering Saturday's playoff opener and will need to overcome losing the No. 1 seed to the Boston Celtics in order to make their third-straight trip to the Finals.

Whatever happens this postseason, Curry and the rest of last year's Warriors are simply hoping for a chance to exorcise some playoff demons this time around.
