Best-Case Scenario

This one is simple, the Golden State Warriors capture the NBA Title but it’s not just that they simply win but it’s how they win.

In the Warriors’ ideal world, they will sweep past the Blazers in the opening round just completely overwhelming them.

They then face off in the next round against a Clippers team doesn’t just hate them but also believes they can truly beat them. Not only do they beat the Clippers but they do it in convincing fashion.

The Warriors biggest challenge in the West is the Spurs and a matchup against them in the Conference Finals would be most compelling. Dispatching them and facing off against the Cleveland Cavaliers for the third straight time in the Finals, which would be an NBA record, is what the Warriors want the most.

Of Course, the Warriors would love a title no matter who they play but in a perfect world they would love to beat these teams to gain another championship and shut the doubters up once and for all.
