Why nikkas gotta be disrespectful. To say they wouldn't beat the warriors or that they aren't an all time great team, I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you. But to label them as a fluke just because they didn't repeat is preposterous, especially when they went to a game 7 in the finals the following year and were up until about 3 mins left on the road (shouldn't have even got to that point if Sheed didn't go full retard at the end of game 5). No need to make illogical statements to try and prove a point.
Me too. I was a huge fan of sheed and Big Ben, but that offense was just
Even with them getting back there the following year, Miami went up 3-2 when Wade got hurt. They likely get closed out in game 6 with a healthy Wade. They were an anomaly. Every other championship team save for maybe the 2003 Spurs since the 2000 finals was a highly potent offense except them. Sheed going full retard and leaving Horry open is part of my point. They had a razor thin margin for error on defense because of how bad their offense was. Going into the fourth quarter of game 7 in Sam Antonio neither team had cracked 60 points. That's just not going to cut it against modern contenders who are both deep and stocked with plenty of shooters to space the floor and force the defense to stay at home unless they're willing to give up the open 3.
Smh, why did Kobe and Shaq have to validate this bum ass team by losing?
I think the Warriors would win, but this statement is probably false.
"Great" defense might be a stretch for Golden State.
it does matter how you cut it
The possessions per game would affect the offensive numbers also.
The 2015 team had a defensive rating of 101.4 which was best in basketball. They had one of 103.8 last year which was 5th in the league. Points per game is a terrible metric to use when they played at the fastest and second fastest pace in basketball the past two seasons. Detroit from 2003-04 through 2007-08 played at the 24th, 30th, 29th, 30th, and 30th pace.
I'm aware of this.
