Our forecast of the 2016-17 NBA season examines the teams in the Pacific Division out west.

Continuing our look at the upcoming season, we turn our attention to the Western Conference’s Pacific Division. Here resides the NBA’s best team, and several of the worst. Even with Golden State’s absurdly strong team, the Division will have as many wins as losses (205) by my calculations.

Mega-weird, but also an indication of how poorly three of the five teams will perform…

As always, we’ll begin with the worst and finish with the best.

Next: Kobe is gone, though the losses will continue
