The Golden State Warriors delivered a message to the Timberwolves and so many other NBA teams during a postseason march that lacked every thrill the NHL playoffs provided:
With superstar Kevin Durant along for this championship run, the Warriors now have won two of the past three titles and appear poised to repeat as long as Durant, two-time league MVP Stephen Curry and All-Stars Klay Thompson and Draymond Green stay healthy and stay together.
So where does that leave the Wolves and probably 27 other teams who will begin next season without a prayer of winning a title?
