2. Golden State Warriors (41-16)
No surprise with the Golden State Warriors checking in at No. 2 in our most recent NBA Power Rankings. This was a team that battled injuries at the beginning of the year, and even some off-the-court drama.
However, just a couple months away from the start of the playoffs, the Warriors are looking better and better with every passing day. The Warriors have 14 of their last 16 games, and DeMarcus Cousins has made his season debut.
When he’s on the floor, the Warriors have the ability to play five all-stars at a time. That’s simply unfathomable, and quite unfair. Thems are the rules, though, and has become the new normal for the Warriors this season.
