1. Golden State
Record: 32-6
Last week: 2nd
As disappointing as their loss to Memphis Friday night was, there's no need for panic or ever alarm at this stage. The late-game discussion between Draymond Green and Kevin Durant is something that happens with any team throughout the course of a game, much less a season, and this is still a team that's working to establish a greater comfort level with regards to individual roles. Stephen Curry's role has changed noticeably from last season, with the ball being in his hands less, and that takes time. If anything, Golden State's 32-6 record has led some to believe that the transition is (and will be) easy. They'll be fine, and as winners of five of their last six games they're back in the top spot. (Getty)
