And they did all that without arguably their 2nd best player in Caron Butler, who got hurt in like December or January that season.I’d have to really sit and think on this, but at initial glance that 2020 Lakers team is ranked too high and that 2011 Mavericks team is ranked too low; especially, when you go back and look at all the teams the Mavs beat in the playoffs and who was on them in route to that championship.
That Mavs team wasn't a regular 8th seed they won 49 games that year. They would've been a 3rd seed out East and the Spurs blew their doors off in that Game 7You realize that since Boston got KP/Jrue no team has taken them past 5 games?
That Spurs team damn near lost to Monta Ellis/Old Vince Carter/Old Dirk in 7 games and got bounced out the first round by the Clippers a year later.
Boston didn't even have a healthy KP like that and they stomped on the league. I think if they win this year people will really understand how wild that roster is![]()

I'm riding with the Spurs vs anybody
That Boston team from last year was very lucky they drew a favorable matchup with the Mavs and a poorly conditioned Luka along with the T’Wolves and Nuggets shytting the bed.You realize that since Boston got KP/Jrue no team has taken them past 5 games?

Why are you trying to minimize credit for beating the Mavs team that beat the Wolves and the Thunder to get there?That Boston team from last year was very lucky they drew a favorable matchup with the Mavs and a poorly conditioned Luka along with the T’Wolves and Nuggets shytting the bed.
Styles make matchups.Why are you trying to minimize credit for beating the Mavs team that beat the Wolves and the Thunder to get there?
How come Luka didn't have conditioning problems against the Wolves and the Thunder?
Styles make matchups.
Having an advantage at certain positions helps too.
Why didn’t Luka make it out of this first round this year by your logic?
He got washed by that very same T’Wolves team.
