2. Golden State Warriors
The fact that the Golden State Warriors are playing at such a high level without being fully healthy is a great indication of how dangerous this team could be in just a couple of months. Stephen Curry is playing at an MVP level again and the team has only lost once this season.
James Wiseman and Klay Thompson haven’t even played in a game this season and the Warriors already look like a dark horse championship contender in the Western Conference. In fairness, the Warriors have had a pretty light schedule to start the year.
They’ve only played three playoff teams (from last season) in their first eight games. That said, the Warriors can only play the teams on their schedule and they’ve looked extremely impressive in doing so.
