From 2010 - 2019

For me it's 2011


62 win Bulls team with Derrick Rose and a dominant defensive squad
61 win Spurs team looking like a bounce back year for them
58 win Heatles Year 1 - their most entertaining year (imo) bc it really was 1a/1b with Bron and prime Wade
57 win Laker team with Kobe going for the 3peat to tie Mike
57 win Mavs team with Dirk having his most balanced team ever
56 win Celtics team fresh off a game 7 Finals run adding, depth with Shaq, Jermaine, and Delonte
55 win Thunder team with KD Russ Harden Ibaka

Blazers with Brandon Roy's last real hoorah
Tough Pelicans team with CP3, Chandler, West
Gritty Grizzlies team with ZBo, Gasol, Conley

The games themselves were thrilling but i will concede that a lot of the series were 5 gamers. For example Heat vs Bulls was 5 games but shyt was epic and a lot closer than the 4-1 implies. Same thing with Dallas 4-0 of the Lakers, I think LA had 2 epic collapses in the 4th quarters; shyt really could've been 2-2. I think the Thunder had a similar fails vs the Mavs, where they lost 4-1 but them shyts were close.

Still, i found all the fukkery and fails to be epic, and unpredictable. Even the upsets, Grizz over Spurs and Hawks over Heat, and of course Mavs over Heat.

If not for Covid, I'd say next year might match or exceed 2011

LAC

^^Fully healthy, that's five 60 win-type teams

BOS
HOU
PHI
DEN
TOR

DAL
POR
NOP

Then you got a ton in that 45-55 win range, on paper. Not even including the surprise teams like MIA and MEM that were overlooked.

In 2011 it felt like every good team had a chance to win it all, most had the Lakers/Heat in the finals and neither finished 1st. The 3rd seeded Mavs wound up winning it all instead

2010 was in a similar boat
