The Golden State Warriors. 4 All-Stars. Unbeatable. went 16-1 in the playoffs. These are 5 teams that have a chance to dethrone the Unbeatable Golden State Warriors.
5.Oklahoma City Thunder

The Thunder has started off the season struggling on the offensive side of the ball. They have started of the season with the 7th lowest efficiency in the league at 50.0%. A big reason for this is the isolation heavy offense Billy Donovan runs.
The Thunder have currently the 6th lowest assist totals per game. Although the Thunder are struggling don't write them off just yet. If they can pull things together and start passing and working together as a team they can be a legitimate contender to the Golden State Warriors.
4. San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs always manage to stay competitive and this year is no different. The Spurs have started of the season at 23-11.
This right now is without Kawhi Leonard at full health and with Danny Green out with a groin injury. During this span Lamarcus Aldridge has shown that he can really step up when needed.
Keep in mind during the 2017 playoffs the Spurs could have gone all the way if Kawhi Leonard wasn't injured.
Once Kawhi Leonard starts playing at full health the San Antonio Spurs will be the team to beat in the Western Conference.
3. Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics are currently tied with the Golden State Warriors for the most wins with 27.
A big part of this is Kyrie Irving who is now in the MVP talk.
Al Horford is arguably playing the most efficient basketball in his career and is having a career high 40.9% 3PT percentage.
Then their is Jayson Tatum who has really stepped up for this Celtics team once Gordon Hayward went down. He is leading the league in 3PT Percentage and is a strong contender for Rookie of the Year.
If Gordon Hayward comes back for the playoffs the Celtics will be unstoppable.
2. Houston Rockets

With the Houston Rockets there is really nothing to not like. James Harden is playing like the MVP and I believe he is the MVP.
Chris Paul joined James Harden and the Rockets like he's been with them for years. Unlike Oklahoma City they weren't any big problems that came up.
Houston is leading the league in Points per game and Offensive rating with 115.4 and 113.7 respectively. This is a team the Golden State has to be wary of.
1. Cleveland Cavaliers

3 Reasons
- Lebron James
-Lebron James
Oh yeah and
-Lebron James
Year after year Lebron somehow finds a way to make it to the NBA finals. When IT comes back the Cavaliers will be dangerous. James, IT, Love along with the additions of Jae Crowder, Jeff Green, Kyle Korver, J.R Smith, and Derrick Rose will be hard to beat.
