The Golden State Warriors are the team to beat. After adding DeMarcus Cousins to a lineup with four legitimate All-NBA players, they created the most talented starting lineup in the league, and possibly ever. Coming off back-to-back titles, Golden State looks poised to make a run at their third consecutive Larry O’Brien trophy.
While they’ve seemed beatable at times, they’re currently on a 10-game winning streak. Stephen Curry looks like an MVP candidate, Klay Thompson has found his shot (and vertical), Draymond Green is healthy and full of fire, and Kevin Durant might be the top talent in the whole Association.
