It won’t be the Golden State show in 2015-16 as the cream of the NBA with names of James, Durant, Love and Westbrook will lead their respective teams into the Finals of the Association in late Spring 2016. This could be the year that those three (plus Love) reunite for another historic Finals as the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Cleveland Cavs have the best top heavy talent for the NBA Championship run. Add the defending champs Golden State Warriors, the Chicago Bulls, and San Antonio Spurs, you have your top 5 in the highest echelon of teams pre-season. Injuries always play a part in making champions and adjustments in league rankings will be noted throughout the season.
