Pretty much... Warriors, then Rockets/Cavs/Spurs (depending on day so no order), then Celtics... Then who cares
Hmm...we are better than the cavs and the Celtics. So top 3 go in the following order: Warriors Spurs Rockets.
Why do people think the Cavs are good? They would finish 6th in the West.... Lebron is amazing, but the other guys are slush puppies.
Because they have this team Isaiah/calderon/rose Crowder/smith lebron/korver Love/jeff green Thompson/frye And they have yet to cash in that 1st round pick from Brooklyn, which they certainly will. If anyone has a shot at beating the warriors it is them, because they can land another all star. They could package zizic, jefferson, shump and that pick for marc gasol.

??? Lebron is the best player in the world and they just got Jae Crowder who fits in perfectly, and IT who for some reason everyone has seemed to forget single handedly led the Celtics to the one seed last year.

Right. So from a team that was about at the Thunders level last year they took away their 2nd best piece and replaced him with a guy who was super effective in a high pace offence. Dont get me wrong, I think they upgraded and COULD use those pieces to snag another star - but why do we judge them based on the hypothetical addition of another star while everyone else is judged according to their current roster?
Tier1 Warriors Tier2 Cavs Rockets Spurs Celtics Thunder Timberwolves Other teams are irrelevant at the moment.
The Cavs were significantly better than the Thunder last year, at least in the playoffs when Lebron was locked in for every game. Yes, they got crushed by the Warriors, but they also would have swept the Thunder.
They still have a really good pig and some trade assets to get another good player in the mix. LeBron and four players are still a good team as long as he does not decline.
