Top 5 teams to challenge GSW in the West

#3 Oklahoma City Thunder

Paul George, Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony — Paul George, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony

Starting line-up :

Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Andre Roberson, Carmelo Anthony, Steven Adams.

Oklahoma City Thunder has acquired a 4-time All-Star, Paul George and a 10-time All-Star, Carmelo Anthony and they will form a 'Big 3' alongside the beast, Russel Westbrook. OKC was the team which improved the most this off-season. Now, this team is not very much dependent on Westbrook as they were in the last season and this will reduce Westbrook's workload.

After these two big additions, OKC will play tough basketball at both the ends of the court. Steven Adams, who played at his very best last season, will start at center and needs to produce the same impact that he produced previously. Along with these three big guns, this team will make the day worse not only for Golden States Warriors but to all the NBA teams.

Andre Roberson will be another starter and Jerami Grant, Felton and Patterson will add the strength to their bench. If these guys give good support to the 'Big-3' players, they can get over the Golden State Warriors.
