Loser: Western Conference

2017 NBA Champions: Golden State Warriors

Might as well as name the Western Conference to Westeros Conference because it is going to be a war.

An exodus of East All-Stars into the Western Conference has made it stronger than ever. Last year, the Golden State Warriors did not face any challenges throughout the Western playoffs, going 12-0.

Betting on something like that this year will take a brave man. Still the prohibited favorite, the Warriors will face a slew of tougher challenges than they did a year ago.

And we have not yet talked about the Houston Rockets or the Minnesota Timberwolves who added huge superstars in the form of Chris Paul and Jimmy Butler respectively.

Not to forget about the efficient machine otherwise known as the San Antonio Spurs.

Then there is the Denver Nuggets who added All-Star Paul Millsap and pair him with Nikola Jokic aka the Joker.Now we can add Oklahoma City Thunder to the mix.

All we can say is the battle for supremacy in the West is going to be spicy.
