Well to be fair those lakers finished 57-25 compared to 72-10. 67-15 with a clean sweep of the postseason is right there with 72-10 and I think 3 playoff losses. We've still never seen anyone pull it off before.

I still think OKC's 2012 playoff run was the most impressive post season of the last decade., all things considered. It was a feel good story that ended with a cold dose of reality.

It's not as impressive as last year. They had to get past OKC so at least they had a serious chance at taking an L.

I still think that last year's team is better than this year's team tho. They'd be unstoppable if they had just gotten Batum because that bench was straight shytting on teams. Add in a guy that can defend well and might be a better shooter than Barnes and:whew:

I really thought they were winning it all. :mjcry:

The experience of veteran role players like Battier and Miller really made the difference in that one. Talented young guys got outsmarted and outplayed.

who cares about bench players or depth when you have hall of fame talent on your starting five.

bench(depth)<<<high-end talent

Batum heart on court pumps kool aid. Shyt would have been a disaster come the finals. Altho Barnes was bricking shots...he has heart.

Warriors are a great team but I do feel that no team gave them a challenge this year in playoffs except the 1st game against Portland (didn't win because Portland's role players didn't deliver) and Spurs 1st game (injury to Kawhi messed Spurs up....damn Zaza)...then Parker already injured. I was surprised Pop couldn't at least get 1 win but I think he just threw the towel. I used to say East conference was less competitive but I can't say that now....damn KD.

But Warriors are too well coached and stacked to lose to Cavs or Celtics. Against Celtics...Warriors in 4. Against Cavs...Warriors in 5 or 6....maybe 7 if Kang and his knights can all come out and play hard....but nothing gonna beat the Warriors....too much talent, good luck, etc. This year its more about good luck and getting KD to be almost impossible to beat. I would give more credit to last season's regular season record.
