You're naming names.The poster that you're talking to is simply out of his mind.
The East back in the 90s was far more competitive. It isn't even close.
Jordan went up against...the Knicks
Ewing, Starks, Mason, Charles Oakley, Derek harper etc
The Pacers
Mark Jackson, Dale Davis, Antonio Davis, Rik Smits and Reggie Miller
Orlando
Shaq, Penny, Nick Anderson, Dennis Scott, Scott Skiles
Charlotte Hornets with
Zo, Larry Johnson, Mugsy Bogues, Kendall Gill, Dell Curry etc etc
the Hawks with
D Wilkins, Steve Smith, Mookie Blaylock, Stacey Augman, Kevin Willis etc etc
On any given year in the early -mid 90s that was the rotation of competition in the East...It aint even close
Any one of those teams back then could win the East in this day and age..
As if Derrick Harper best years weren't on a BETTER 80s MAVS than the Knicks he played on.
You said John Starks as if he's an NBA great.
You said the Davis boys as if they were low block killers. Niqqa....Sidney Greene in the 80s was a better low post player than them.
Hornets and Magic didn't play together long enough to be "great" teams.
Stop individual player calling thinking you've names great teams. None of those teams could even beat Roy Tarpley, Young D Harp, Rolando Blackman, Mark Aguire 80s Mavs.

lead by example
Outside of the Pacers and Magic i'm not wrong
.Lie to me right now and tell me the 90s Knicks played good basketball
.
The 80s mavs? Fam stick to football
They took the Showtime Lakers 7 games in 1988 WCF. That team was definitely legit.
My point is the games should be getting better as you go along. I want the best teams matching up as the playoffs progress.And the Cavs would've still swept the first two rounds

Did you just diss the 80s Mavs?The 80s mavs? Fam stick to football
You really prove you don't know JACK shyt about 80s ball.
Mark Aguire could create his own shot and averaged 27 ppg. Derrick Hatper is the greatest PG to never make an all star game averaging 17ppg, 7 assists and 2 steals per game.
Rolando Blackman who MMJ soar player better defense on him than any payer was one of the leagues best sharp shooters.
Ask the 80 Lakers about the Mavs.
They won 55 games in 87. Pushed the showtime Lakers to seven games. The REAL showtime Lakers, not th Vlade and Magic Lakers the Bulls faced. The nerve of you to think I'm talking out my ass about a team you don't know shyt about .

They were not great, but they were a fairly good team that had a solid star center in Ewing and enforcers that did not back down.

It's like the same story in every NBA season in the east coast. Injuries of key players prevented many teams to compete with a squad like the Cavs. Toronto could have put up a better challenge if Val was playing. The Bulls have the depth but too many of their players were hurt and didn't make it to the playoffs, and the Heat lost Whiteside and Bosh. If all three of those teams were healthy, Cleveland would have experience a greater resistance to the NBA finals.Cavs haven't even broken a sweat yet this postseason

Most of them arent "great"...great was for a chosen few...like MJ, Reggie Miller. D Wilkins, Shaq and Penny ..and very good with Larry Johnson, Alonzo Morning, Patrick Ewing, Rik Smits....defensive beasts like Antonio Davis, Dale Davis, Charles Oakley or Anthony Mason and Ssolid PG's with hardaway, Blaylock Mark Jackson, Derek Harper, Mugsy and a few others...you're insane if you don't think that that competition is tougher.You're naming names.

most of em aren't legends by any means...but they are all well remembered and respected.
Where's the Eastern Conference Shaq or Alonzo Morning? Where's the Rik Smits or Ewing?, or Mark Jackson, the Steve Smith, Reggie Miller's or Dominique Wilkins? Where are the Larry Johnsons' of today?
Where are they?

Those teams weren't GREAT.
You're mixing up name dropping for great teams.
90s teams couldn't score worth shyt. Davis boys were nothing but grit players but you bring them up like they were special.
