These are not necessarily cappers that sit atop the leaderboard in the NBA however.
Winners and Whiners warns against picking the Warriors here.
"The public will be all over the Warriors here, but this is not the same Warriors team from previous years. Their biggest liability has always been post defense, but they have been able to overcome it with the elite perimeter scoring of Curry and Thompson, and Draymond Green held his own against most centers. Well, the Splash Brothers are not playing at the same level as they used to, and Draymond Green has begun to show signs of aging as well. This Sacramento team is young, and will be able to capitalize on the weaknesses of the Warriors."
