1. Golden State Warriors
The “Splash Brothers” are on fire once again this season, and new head coach Steve Kerr has taken them to a new level. Stephen Curry is one of the favorites to win the MVP award this year, while Klay Thompson is fresh off of a big new contract and is playing up to the pay that he is receiving.
Not only do the Warriors have two stars in their lineup, they have an impressive supporting cast surrounding them.
Draymond Green has stepped his game up to a completely new level, and Harrison Barnes has stepped into a starting role very nicely this season as well. Having players like Andre Iguodala and David Lee coming off of the bench show just how deep the Warriors are. There haven’t been many teams in recent history with the type of talent in the second unit that Golden State currently has.
If the Warriors play up to their potential throughout the remainder of the season, there aren’t many teams that stand a chance against them. Curry and Thompson play off of each so well, and even when they’re not on the rest of the team picks them up. At this point in time, they are without a question the current favorites to take home the 2014-15 championship.
