pursuit of 73 wins has not come easy, as the reigning NBA Champions have met defeat by teams many thought would never have had a chance. With that being said, which teams in the west have the best chance to dethrone the champs as we head into the playoffs? First, what stars need to be aligned for the Warriors to lose a game?
