Top 5 contenders for the 2016 NBA Championship

The NBA season is long and gruelling, the teams have to remain healthy and motivated to have a championship run. This season does have multiple teams who are worthy of a championship. It would all come down to playoff matchup, healthy lineup and who shows up at the big stage.Every season there are clear cut favourites to win the championship but the exciting part is to see a new team emerge to be champions. Like the Warriors Championship run last season, it maybe a different team this season who will catch fire post season to become the NBA champions.Here, we look at teams who are the top contenders to win the title this season.

#5 Los Angeles Clippers

LA Clippers

“Together we will “ and together Clippers have the potential to bring a champioinship to Los Angeles. 

This just maybe the season of the Clippers, and finally Chris Paul can have his first title. The Clippers just escaped a disastrous summer when they convinced DeAndre Jordan to come back. Also, they made an important move by signing Paul Pierce to reunite him with Doc Rivers. 

Blake has improved his offensive game immensely and had developed a more consistent jump shot. The team is playing with great momentum and finds new ways to win every game. CP3 has been solid as ever and JJ Reddick is playing with an edge shooting the lights out every game. This combined with the coaching experience of Doc, it will be a strong contender come play off time.

Clippers should beleive in themselves and should not beat themselves like their previous stints. The Clippers got the nod over Bulls who were very close to be a top 5 contender for NBA championship this season. Bulls could very well be there in finals if they contniure to improve and keep winning their important matchups.
