The Warriors have no doubt the popularity of the championship, as long as the current Durant + Curry + Thompson + Green is healthy, then the Warriors will always be the biggest favourite to win!
The Houston Rockets can only hope to win a dream if they want to win!
Don't forget another great player in their team, the new one, Cousin. Some say that he is not that great player since he just got from the injury but even though he is, he can still help his team greatly even if he is not always in the court. Houston might their chance but it depends on how their newly built team will do in the new season. There are a lot of great teams to look out for and I don't know what will happen to Kahwi.
Having Cousins put a lot of depth on Golden State right now. Golden State team is built not around centers, that's why they traded Bogut as far as I can remember. But having Cousins will give them another options, if the outside shot is not working, then they have have Cousins works on the painted area to score or even a bait and throw passes outside of 3's.
