5. Oklahoma City Thunder (28-9, Last week: #5)

You worry about the roster OKC has around Durant when they lose, then he goes to the well and earns you another victory and you remember they have a top-two player. It’s unsustainable, but in the regular season, it just might work well enough to keep them treading water.

6. Miami Heat (27-10, Last week: #3)

Miami is coasting right now without a care in the world.

Oh, and LeBron James doesn’t like being collared around the neck, who knew?
