#2 - Golden State Warriors (currently 53-18, 2nd)
It appears the 3-year streak of Golden State Warriors taking the top seed in the Western Conference is in some serious jeopardy thanks to the play of the Houston Rockets. The Warriors are 3.5 games behind Houston with 11 games left.
Nearly half of the games remaining for the Warriors are against current playoff teams, and nearly half of those games are also on the road. There is a possibility that the Warriors take the top seed in the West for a fourth-straight season, but I don't feel like it's going to happen.
