I haven’t done a Power Poll since the All-Star break. With basically one month left in the regular season this might be a good time to take a look at the current top twelve teams in the league. At 61-6 the Golden State Warriors are still very much on track to break the Bulls record for the best regular season of all-time. San Antonio and Cleveland seem entrenched in the No. 2 and No. 3 spots. OKC seems to have halted its free fall and stays at No. 4.
But beyond OKC—there’s not a team in the poll I could see winning the title, and OKC’s chances are clearly at a level below Golden State, Cleveland, and San Antonio. Seven teams from the East made my poll this time around as the streaking Charlotte Bobcats made the poll at No. 11.
1 Golden State Warriors
2 San Antonio Spurs
3 Cleveland Cavaliers
4 Oklahoma City Thunder
5 Toronto Raptors
6 LA Clippers
7 Miami Heat
8 Atlanta Hawks
9 Boston Celtics
10 Houston Rockets
11 Charlotte Bobcats
12 Indiana Pacers
