Here are reasons to doubt every 2014-15 NBA championship contender. 

What do the Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls all have in common?

This season all of these teams have underachieved and look nothing like the teams that many expected them to become before the beginning of the season.

However on the other hand teams such as the Atlanta Hawks, Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers, and Washington Wizards are the overachievers and look like they are ready to take any opportunity that comes their way.

This season there are a lot of interesting story lines and many different organizations that will contend for the 2015 NBA Championship. Unlike the last few seasons when the whole league knew that the Miami Heat would be playing in June, as they did for the last four seasons, this year is a lot different.

With that being said here are reasons to doubt every organization that has a championship window.

Next: Golden State Warriors
