If OKC wins the title, is it the hardest path to a 'ship in NBA History?

95 rockets.
they didn't have home court advantage in any round of the playoffs and faced 6 HOFs in their prime along the way.

That still doesn't outweigh anything in my post. And I don't know what HOFs have to do with anything - this Thunder team have to get through teams with far greater winning records and players who're either top 5 in the league or arguably top 5 at their positions.

Off the top, yeah. It would be some kind of run

You people suck as basketball fans. It's like you all don't watch games and just comment based on stats. You cannot judge/rate teams based on regular season records in a garbage ass league. The Spurs may have won 67 games in the regular season but the reality of it is that they're an old ass team in the middle of transitioning from tr Duncan/Parker-Ginonli era to the Kawhi-LA era. Kawhi and LA are the only two all stars on the team at this point. Duncan and Ginobli are done and Parker is running on fumes. The Thunder were supposed to win that series. GS is overrated and so are the Cavs. The competition just isn't good enough for this to qualify as the hardest path ever. The only way that you can even make that argument is ignore the play on the floor and just judging teams by regular season records.

Look at doeboy y'all. Making a fool outta himself again.

None of those teams beat a 73-win team (because there's never been one before). And I'm assuming one of those teams beat a 67-win team, but they might not have either, because there's only been a handful of those as well. And then they'd have to top it off by beating a team with the best player of his era... so IF the Thunder were to pull it off, they'd have to be at the head of the argument.

That said, even if they beat the Dubs, Bron gonna give them that work.

you keep hanging on to 73 wins and 67 wins.. but if they not even good enough to make it to the finals... are they really that good?

it's well known the nba regular season don't mean shyt... it's a nice little record but #1 in the season doesn't equal a ring at all

That means nothing, you dumb towelhead. The 2016 Mavs would be dead last in 95. The 2016 Spurs would get bodied by any 95 playoff team. The 2016 GSW gets beat by 95 Utah, SA, Magic or Suns. Same with 2016 Cleveland.

uhm, cant you say that about any team that doesnt make the finals? i guess the 95 rockets run wasnt special either.....they beat a bunch of teams in the west that couldnt even make the finals

Still feel like 2011 Dallas because dirk faced off against teams with multiple superstars and didn't have one of his own
Three big threes
Lebron bosh Wade
Durant Westbrook harden
defending champs,Kobe gasol Bynum.
All hall of famers except Bynum

And they didn't just win they smashed the
They were underdogs in every series

The Thunder were too young though. Durrant, Westbrook were 22 and Ibaka and Harden were 21.

Those teams are still better than teams today. So the run was pretty special.
