Warriors Make History in Annual NBA General Manager Survey

The Warriors are expected to win back-to-back championships.

On Wednesday morning, NBA.com released its annual GM Survey and 93 percent of the league's general managers picked Golden State to capture the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

As John Schuhmann writes:

"In the 16-year history of the NBA.com GM Survey, no team has been as overwhelming a favorite to win the championship as this year's Warriors."

The Cavaliers got the other seven percent of the votes.

In last year's survey, 69 percent of the GMs who responded picked the Warriors to win it all.

The year prior -- months after winning the title for the first time in 40 years -- the Warriors received just 25 percent of the votes.

In October 2014, only 3.7 percent of the respondents picked Golden State.

The oddsmakers have the Warriors currently at 5/8, with Cleveland in second at 9/2.
