The Best NBA Teams For 2015-2016

With the NBA season just around the corner, let's take a look at some of the teams that might be around in June.

Golden State Warriors

The Warriors enter the season as world champions, and they aren’t going anywhere. Steve Kerr has done an unbelievable job, and the Warriors are beginning to look dynasty-esque. With Stephen Curry, Andrew Bogut, Harrison Barnes, Andre Iguodala and Kyle Thompson back, as well as most of their leading scorers, look for the Warriors to do big things this year. I could easily see the Warriors back in the NBA finals.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavs too, have a lot of their impact players returning, including the addition of Mo Williams. A graduate of the University of Alabama, Mo has spent 12 years in the NBA, and is back in Cleveland. He will be a solid substitute when Kyrie Irving exits the game. If the Cavs can stay away from injuries, look for the Cavs too, to be in the NBA Finals.

LA Clippers

The Clippers had an okay season, but not quite good enough to get to the NBA finals. I personally was cheering for the Clippers, but I don’t think the NBA community was quite pulling for the blue-collar team yet. However, I think this year is a totally different story. This team has established an identity, and finally has people rooting for them. If they can play well in the later part of the season, this could be a team to watch.

San Antonio Spurs

As always, Gregg Popovich has the Spurs ready for a big year. They didn’t get as far in the playoffs as they hoped, but look for Tim Duncan to have a big year. On most occasions, after a bad year, he plays his best. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tony Parker have a big year as well. The “Big Three” aren’t getting any younger, so this could be the year to get a championship.

A lot can happen in an NBA season, but these are just a handful of teams that I believe have an excellent chance of being in the NBA finals.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
