Can any team push the Warriors?
In a couple months, when the NBA Playoffs officially begin, there’s no question that the Golden State Warriors will be the prohibited favorites to come out of the West and win the NBA Finals entirely.
They have the potential to play five all-stars at a time on the floor – with the addition, and return of DeMarcus Cousins – and it would be extremely surprising if this team ding win the Finals again.
With that said, if the Warriors are going to lose this might be the year. They haven’t been playing as well as they have in the past, and there might be legit threats to them in both conferences – in the Rockets, Jazz, Thunder or Nuggets in the West and the Bucks, Raptors, Celtics or Sixers in the East.
The Warriors will once again be the overwhelming favorites to win the NBA Title, but for the first time in a few years it might come with some resistance.
