NBA Rankings - 4 Dec

The Golden State Warriors are still the story of the year, sitting at 20-0 and clearly the best team in the league, but all the hype around the defending champs has allowed the previous champs down in San Antonio to go under the radar, where they currently reside at #2 with a 16-4 record, and are on pace to surpass 60 wins. Here are my full rankings:
