Whether it’s blowing out an inferior opponent in the opening round, hitting buzzer-beaters in the conference semifinals or dethroning a dynasty, teams like the Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Clippers and six others are having a great time.

But this team should want more, and it’s capable of becoming the next Wizards or Clippers as soon as next year.
