1. Golden State Warriors (12-5)

Last week: 1 

It was an interesting week for the Golden State Warriors who had to do a bit of damage control after a public outburst between Kevin Durant and Draymond Green last week. In the end, though, we still are left picking up the pieces of what really happened and what it potentially means in the long run.

The Durant leaving the Warriors in free agency after this season whispers grew a bit this week, and they will only continue to do so in the coming weeks. I’m still not sure if I’m buying them, yet.

One thing is for sure, though is that the Warriors are still the best team in the NBA after another week and they’re the overwhelming favorites to win the NBA Championship. Some things never really change.
