2. Golden State Warriors (44-14)

Thanks to teams like the Houston Rockets and Toronto Raptors, the Golden State Warriors haven’t exactly been able to cruise by the regular season. In fact, they’re not even the first seed in the Western Conference at the moment.

Steve Kerr said that the team needed the All-Star break more than every before. Good news, it’s here.

Will the Warriors get reenergized as the stretch run begins? They better hope so, especially considering that anything short of winning the NBA Championship will be considered an epic failure.
