Top 10 NBA Teams Most Likely to Win the 2017 Championship
The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in San Francisco. The Warriors compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.Location: San Francisco, CA

The Warriors deserve to win their next championship this year. Even though they lost last year, they have become much better. Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson are at their best.
Even though they lost the 2016 championship, they have a strong team. With Durant, they have a huge chance in 2017.
These guys are on fire! The Celtics are good too! I am hopefully hoping for both to meet in the finals. I am wondering if GS could beat the Celtics, who have won more championships than any other team. With Curry, KD, and Klay, they have a great chance!
The Cleveland Cavaliers, also known as the Cavs, are an American professional basketball team based in Cleveland, Ohio. I voted for GSW, but then I remembered that the Cavaliers have actual chemistry and the Warriors have none. The Warriors are not going to win just because they are a super team with three future Hall-of-Famers and even more All-Stars. Although, they will be the two in the finals again, that's for sure. Let's just see what happens.
I think LeBron and his gang can pull it off again next year.
This kind of depth is almost unheard of.
The San Antonio Spurs are an American professional basketball team based in San Antonio, Texas. The Spurs compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division. Kawhi Leonard is easily the most consistent player in the league! Him, Aldridge, Simmons, and Bertans are in their primes so they can easily beat the inconsistent Cavs and Warriors! The icing on the cake is Greg Popovich, who is the best coach in the league without a doubt. This team is unbeatable, even without Tim.
They are going to be so good this season and so underestimated. Just watch, they will get a better record than last year. Maybe 60. Kawhi Leonard is in his prime, Parker is helping a bunch, and so is Ginobili.
The Los Angeles Clippers, often abbreviated as the LA Clippers, are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Clippers have been through a lot in the last three years, and their core is still together. As long as they are healthy for the playoffs, I think they can come together and make it to the Finals. To win it against the Cavs? That's the question.
Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Paul Pierce - that's pretty much a big 4. Even Redick... dang. Too bad the Warriors are starting a dynasty.
8-1 right now. They can be 1st with more than 60 wins, they have everything they need.
The Portland Trail Blazers, commonly known as the Blazers, are an American professional basketball team based in Portland, Oregon. They have a solid roster. Only threats are the Spurs and the Warriors. Losing Robin Lopez wasn't any better.
Their fanbase is absolutely insane. They have great, loyal fans. Future Hall-of-Famer point guard, CJ McCollum, is improving a lot. Ezeli is showing improvement as a center. I am proud to be a Blazers fan.
What? They can't get into the playoffs with the roster they have now!
The Toronto Raptors are a Canadian professional basketball team based in Toronto, Ontario. The Raptors compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Atlantic Division. The Toronto Raptors are looking good. They are playing like last year. Hopefully, they make it to at least the Eastern Conference Finals. Let's go Raptors!
The Houston Rockets are an American professional basketball team based in Houston, Texas. The Rockets compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division. They will definitely be champions this year!
The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.Head coach: Frank Vogel

In the 2015-2016 season, despite having Kobe one more season, they were probably the worst team in the NBA. I think they might do slightly better with Ingram.
They might be good again in a few seasons, but not the next one. The Lakers have a lot of rebuilding to do. Ingram and Russell won't be enough yet.
The Boston Celtics are an American professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are specifically known for honing infamous players such as Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Paul Pierce, and more. They are also known for having the most championships in NBA History, with 17 total. This team is two wins away from being the #1 seed. It has everything they could want: Crowder, Thomas, and Horford. They might end up with Carmelo Anthony if the Cavs or Clippers don't take him. The Celtics might get to the ECF, and if the Cavaliers are still having chemistry problems, then they might be replaced by a finals matchup with the Celtics.
The Philadelphia 76ers are an American professional basketball team based in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. 9? No way! More like 29 or 30. They can't improve with just Joel Embiid and a little bit of Simmons!
Simmons will improve the team, but they won't be in the playoffs.
The Chicago Bulls are an American professional basketball team based in Chicago, Illinois. The Bulls compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Central Division.Arena/Stadium: United Center
Head coach: Fred Hoiberg... read more
17? Not even. They got a big three, and a rookie that has a great future ahead. Robin Lopez is a great player as well. This team will make it to the playoffs this year, no doubt, and if they get lucky, the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Bulls have Denzel Valentine, probably the best draft pick. They also have Rondo, Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade, and Robin Lopez. They might just win again. Who knows?
The Oklahoma City Thunder are an American professional basketball team based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I think KD leaving won't impact the Thunder as much as some people think. In fact, I think Westbrook will improve the team. How is the team #23?
OKC is a beast with Adams, Westbrook, and Oladipo. They are at least at the 6 or 5 spot, not 16. That's stupid!
The Minnesota Timberwolves are an American professional basketball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
An American professional basketball team, the Indiana Pacers are based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are a member of the Central Division in the Eastern Conference of the NBA. The Pacers have seen significant success in the league playoffs and sport navy, gold, and white as their team colors.
The New York Knickerbockers, commonly referred to as the Knicks, are an American professional basketball team based in the borough of Manhattan, in New York City.
The Utah Jazz are an American professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Jazz compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Northwest Division. Underestimated team. 13 is a good enough rank, but I really think this team will surprise everyone this season with Gordon, Favors, George Hill, and Gobert getting better. High hopes!
How come the 76ers have a better chance to win a championship? The Utah Jazz has many great players!
Utah should be #7 or higher! They've got one of the best benches.
The Atlanta Hawks are an American professional basketball team based in Atlanta, Georgia. The Hawks compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division.
The Miami Heat is an American professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida. The Heat compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. Despite their recent losses, they have a chance at making a comeback.
The Charlotte Hornets are an American professional basketball team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Hornets compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. Kemba Walker is improving so much. I think this team will be better.
The Sacramento Kings are a professional basketball team located in Sacramento, California. Competing in the NBA, they belong to the Western Conference Pacific Division. Although championship success has been elusive, the team has a dedicated fan base. Their colors are purple, silver, and black. They should have favored the Kings in 2002. Now, they are rigging calls like crazy!
Speights is leading this team along with Bledsoe and Booker. High hopes for Phoenix.
The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball franchise based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Bucks compete in the National Basketball Association as a member team of the Eastern Conference Central Division.
The Washington Wizards are an American professional basketball team based in Washington, D.C. The Wizards compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division.
The Denver Nuggets are an American professional basketball team based in Denver, Colorado. The Nuggets compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Northwest Division. They've never been known as a bad team, but as a team that just barely misses the playoffs each year.
