![]() In my first post I mentioned that many teams are creating what are called super teams. These super teams have a massive amount of talent on their rosters which makes them very difficult to win against. Teams with less superstars on their rosters have trouble matching up with super teams because they have less talent on their roster. This top 5 is on the best super teams in the NBA this year. 1.Cleveland Cavaliers: The Cleveland Cavs have negotiably the best player in the league right now in Lebron James. Not to mention they surrounded him with great talent in Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, JR Smith, and Iman Shumpert. Last season they defeated the Warriors in the NBA Finals, and you have to believe that the Cavs will continue winning games this season. 2. Golden State Warriors: Last year the Warriors set the record for most wins in one season. Stephen Curry won MVP, and had a great season. They also are known for their great perimeter because of Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. Not to mention they had one of the biggest offseason moves in a while with the addition of Kevin Durant. With this addition the Warriors will be even more difficult to beat than last year. 3. Los Angeles Clippers: The Clippers have had the same core of players for the last couple of years, and they honestly should have a title by now. With the duo of Deandre Jordan and Blake Griffin downlow, and Chris Paul at point they are very tough to beat. They also have JJ Reddick and Jamal Crawford who are great scorers. 4. San Antonio Spurs: I can’t remember a time when the Spurs haven’t been dominating the western conference. Yes, their talent is getting older by the years, and Tim Duncan did retire last season, but the Spurs are still playing strong. This is because Tony Parker, their point guard, hasn’t slowed down much with age, and their young superstar Kawhi Leonard is simply a monster on both sides of the court. Even though they lost Tim Duncan, who may be the best power forward of all time, their front court hasn’t suffered much because of Pau Gasol and Lamarcus Aldridge who are both above average big men. 5. Oklahoma City Thunder: You may look at the Thunder and think that their roster isn’t very good, and they aren’t a super team. I disagree with that for one reason, Russell Westbrook. Westbrook is not only negotiably the best point guard in the NBA, but he may also be one of the most athletic players in the NBA. He consistently puts up triple doubles with high amounts of points. The Thunder also have two big men with a lot of potential in Enes Kanter and Steven Adams. Also with their off season signing of Victor Oladipo is probably the best shooting guard the Thunder have had since James Harden.

I agree with you on some of these, because you backed up your reasons to why they are in the Top 5. You also added in a bit of your personal humor, which shows your character throughout your writing. You weren't rude about any other teams, which shows you have a true love and respect for basketball. good job!
