Don't do that. Don't do that. You said show me an example of a non playoff who made the finals the following year. I gave you an answer but now you wanna use the YOUTH EXCUSE. Come on bruh. Jj redikk has playoff experience. Amir johnson, Marco Bellinili. Brett Brown been with the spurs. NO excuses. that nets team was young too.
if you named them. You're really trying to compare acquiring Jason Kidd who is a leader, to a team being led by a rookie and a guy who just played his first 82 games this year? Your argument is about as dishonest as it gets, especially since my first post in this thread was about the Sixers being a young team. The Sixers are led by two guys with zero experience, them making the finals would be unprecedented in league history.Don't do what? You knew exactly what we were talking about, like I said if you were going to go the 02 Nets route you may as well have said the 2015 Cavs, but you knew people reading this thread would hit theif you named them.

low key that 2005 team was better than the 2006 championship teamReminding me of that young Miami Heat squad with Shaq. Would have made the Finals in 05 if Wade didn't bust his ribs.
absolutely im comparing them. richard Jefferson was a rookie off the bench. Kenyon Martin was in his second year.. This was Kidd's first year in that system. Oh Jason kidd doesn't count cause he's a leader. Jason kidd is good but he wasn't great like Lebron. 2015 cavs and 2002 are 2 totally different stories. Cavs had Kyrie, Love and Bron. Nets had Kidd, then what? An underacheiver in Keith Van Horn. Second year player in Kmart, Young slow white guy in Todd Mccollugh, Rookie in RJ.

Already exceeded our expectations... anything else is a bonus![]()
