No, but the way the Cavs are playing, Lebron's legacy will take a hit if they lose :yeshrug:

I never thought Id say that, but damn they washing opponents by 40...

When Kevin Love locks in, the Cavs have Warriors-esque firepower

That Spurs team had one of the best offensive runs in the playoffs, they are basically what birthed the Warriors style of play.




:dead: @ Them being the worst of the Spurs title teams, yet the 99 Spurs won with Avery Johnson/Mario Ellie backcourt and the 03 team had to play Speedy Claxton minutes in the finals cause Parker wasn't ready yet.

I rank the 2003 Spurs as the worst champ since the 81 Celtics
every champ after them would beat them in a series

Dahntay Jones in the cut that's a scary sight :mjgrin:

nah, we need him to keep draymond in check. that andre ward looking nikka already punked out draymond once and draymond didn't retaliate.

we need another expendable goon to take care of zaza.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
It's debatable. Good points but I'd rather have prime Duncan


Here's the problem though, with as great as prime Duncan was the Spurs never had a great offense, they had to rely heavily on Tim to score even with Parker/Manu their offense was never really efficient. That 2014 Spurs team had a 113 offensive efficiency in the playoffs, the other title teams playoff ratings -

03 - 87.4
05- 91.8
07 - 91.3

The 2014 Spurs had one of the best offensive runs in playoff history, coupled with a top 3 defense in the league. That was their best team top to bottom even with Tim no longer in his prime, if they had a prime Tim Duncan on the 2014 team it would have been absolutely unstoppable and probably a 70+ win squad.

I think the 98-99 team was the worst, I'd rank them -


1. 14
2. 05
3. 07
4. 03
5. 99


The 99 squad was just :scust: they had Mario Ellie at 35, Avery Johnson was 33 and they won a title simply cause of how good Duncan was.

yeah but we should never forget that the 2014 Spurs woulda been down 0-3 in the first round if not for the Mavs offense collapsing at the end of game 1

Carlisle had a great plan that was working until the Spurs figured out how to beat that pseudo matchup zone, from game 4 on the Spurs offense got going.
