5 Teams That Could Dethrone the Golden State Warriors This Season

#1 - Cleveland Cavaliers

LeBron continues to do what's expected of him

This one was obvious, wasn't it? Many would argue that the Cleveland Cavaliers should probably be lower down the list because of how strong some of the others have been so far, but three straight finals speak for themselves.

It's almost impossible to count them out, because of the one man LeBron James, but the off-season trades will do just as well to push them that one step further. Such has been the dominance of the Cavs and Warriors, that it seems impossible that they can improve, but once Isaiah Thomas returns, the Cavs will have an absolutely monstrous lineup.

Thomas' style and demeanor will provide the team a lot more balance. And with Dwyane Wade having reunited with LeBron, the team can guarantee wonderful chemistry between two legends of the game.

But take into account that one-time MVP Derrick Rose, Jeff Green, Jae Crowder and Jose Calderon have all been brought in, it's an easy argument to say that the Cavs probably have the best squad in the league.

The playoffs are a different beast to the regular season, no doubt, but with the experience the team has and with just how long they have to experiment and find their best team, the Cavaliers are my favorite to dethrone the Warriors.
