Top Ten Teams of the 2020-21 NBA Season

The NBA Season is here already. Almost every team has a shot at the Playoffs. With the season approaching, we have to take a look at the best teams. This list will be based on this coming season alone. Not last year and not the future seasons. Feel free to add anyone you would like.
The Top Ten
1 Los Angeles Lakers 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

Arena/Stadium: Staples Center... read more

The Lakers will come into this year as the favorites. They just came off a ring and they actually got better. They added Dennis Schroeder, Montrezl Harrell, and Marc Gasol. Most of their players got better and they will be a really hard team to stop. I think Anthony Davis will be an MVP candidate. The only limitation is LeBron taking a break for the beginning of the season which could dock their record. Otherwise expect a repeat.

2 Brooklyn Nets The Brooklyn Nets are an American professional basketball team based in the borough of Brooklyn, in New York City. The Nets compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.

I am so scared of the Nets. They look amazing. KD is a potential MVP candidate and Kyrie looked great as well in the Preseason. They of course have Jarrett Allen and DeAndre Jordan at the center spots and you still have Spencer Dinwiddie to run the bench. Caris Levert on top of all of that. This team also has shooter like Joe Harris. They maybe need to get more at the deadline though. Point being, this team is stacked.

The Beard, KD and Kyrie are the best trio of the NBA. The only thing which can beat them is an accident. Griffin, Harris, Green are also great.

3 Milwaukee Bucks 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.

I really like the moves the Bucks made. They got Jrue Holiday who I think could really benefit playing next to Giannis. They just extended Giannis and grabbed a few more pieces. They will be good once again, but I think they need more shooters and one more playmaker on the bench. The Trade Deadline will be important for them.

4 Dallas Mavericks The Dallas Mavericks are an American professional basketball team based in Dallas, Texas. The Mavericks compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division.

The Mavs are gonna take another big step this year. Luka is my pick for MVP and they also got him some help Josh Richardson. I think losing Seth Curry really hurts though, but still I think they will be really good. Hopefully the Josh Green pick will help replace what Curry gave.

5 Denver Nuggets 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.

I expect Jamal Murray to take a huge step this year. Maybe even MIP level. They also have another MIP potential player, Michael Porter Jr. This team has a chance to really improve even further. It is just the question of can they tap into that potential.

6 Los Angeles Clippers The Los Angeles Clippers, often abbreviated as the LA Clippers, are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles.

The Clippers really got hurt this off season. They lost Trez and they fired one of the best coaches in the league. Now they have Tyronn Lue who definitely good, but is he as good as Doc? This Clippers team has to turn it on quick and get things together. I wouldn't be surprised if Kawhi leaves if this year doesn't end in a Finals appearance.

7 Miami Heat 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.

The Heat are coming off a ridiculous Finals run, but, I gotta say, how much of that was some select players getting hot at the right time. We will see. This team is definitely still a contender and they will be great again. I just don't know, they didn't seem to make a lot of improvements.

8 Boston Celtics 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.

Jayson Tatum is superstar level. I think we could see MVP level production as Kemba is projected to miss the beginning of the season and Gordon Hayward is gone. It is just a question of are they good enough to hang with the top teams?

9 Philadelphia 76ers The Philadelphia 76ers are an American professional basketball team based in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

So people like dissing the Sixers. I think they would have beat the Celtics last year if Ben Simmons played. Obviously he got injured, but still. They got Doc Rivers which is a massive improvement. They got a lot of good shooters like Danny Green and Seth Curry. They got off Al Horford's stupid contract and replaced him with Dwight Howard. I think this year will be a big improvement for them.

10 Phoenix Suns

I really like this Suns team and I think people are sleeping on them. Devin Booker is poised to continue his ascension into a top five scorer in the league. Chris Paul brings a lot of veteran presence to this team and I think that makes a big impact. They got Jae Crowder and Mikal Bridges as 3 and D guys. On top of all of this, they have dominant big man DeAndre Ayton. This team is legit.

The Contenders
11 Houston Rockets 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.
12 Washington Wizards 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.

Woah, let's not get too crazy here, there are better teams in the eastern conference, but maybe they can get the 8. seed, only to get destroyed by the Bucks.

13 Golden State Warriors 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

14 Portland Trail Blazers The Portland Trail Blazers, commonly known as the Blazers, are an American professional basketball team based in Portland, Oregon.
15 Indiana Pacers 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.
16 Utah Jazz 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.
