What do you say, first to four wins again?I don’t think it should take the Warriors more than six games to get there.Coming off the Warriors’ seven-game first-round classic with the Kings, this confidence level in Golden State might seem misplaced.But that’s a credit to the Kings, who were built to give the Warriors fits — probably because they were built in the mold of the Warriors.

And while Golden State will need outstanding play from the team’s new triumvirate — Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney, and the immortal Steph Cur...
