Sadly I'm not even sure there's a team in the West that's clearly going to be as good as Miami, especially after all that rest.

1) The constant in San Antonio has been duncan. As "Good" as pop has been, he's been able to be good because everything revolves around arguably a top 10 player of all time. Then add TP and Manu? Come on.
2) 04 pistons are an outlier. What team this decade won without a top 5, top 10 elite talent?

the reason the west first round is so great this year is because there are no all time greats playing in the west
put prime duncan/kobe/lebron led team in any west series this year and its over in 5

1. History is irrelevant, Shaq wasn't the best player at that point.
2. Falling apart choking? or better coaching better teammates? If you can't see the difference between eric spolestras coaching now and in the first final, well I don't know what to say. really who ever wins the championship that year just gets retroactivley assigned best player. becasue Hakeem wasn';t considered the best player on the first chip, same for shaq, same for kobe.
3. 1 team wins the championship every year about 4 or 5 teams have a legitimate shot of winning it some stronger than others ites not as simple as best player means you win, you have to have good team and coaches.

Kinda my point. I just dont think it will happen either, but thats the only way they win this one. Because we all know that offense aint scoring 60 in the second half, especially considering our third quarter woes.

Lets just hope our offense steps up this second half. I still think we got this.

so your telling me to a win a chip you have to have great players?
really?
obviously, but when you get to the finals the other teamw ill have a top 5 player, and when the competition is that close, coaching matters.

1. Shaq was still 20 & 10 when he first hit Miami and D Wade was a top five player
2. That's my point. Even with Spoelstra not being an elite coach when bron went to miami, they still got all the way to the finals and almost won. There's something to be said about that. And while Hakeem wasn't considered the best player, he was for sure considered a top 5/top 10 player.
3. I disagree. It really is that simple. Look at who's contending year in and year out. They almost always have a bonafide top 5 / top 10 player

Again, how did the Bulls have a top 5 offense 2 years ago when Rose missed 40% of the season? Was it some kind of accident? If you want to say he plays certain guys (Deng, Butler) way too many minutes that's fine but I'm not buying this idea that he's a bumbling idiot offensively. As much as some of you guys like to slander Nate Robinson he could at least create his own shot, the current Bulls have no one on the roster who can do that.
Lol at Scott Brooks being better than Thibs in any way, shape, or form.

history is everything, just because it doesnt support your point doesnt mean you can ignore 30 years of basketball
if lebron didnt let jason terry outplay him miami would have won
there are all time greats that win a majority of the championships and there are lesser stars that people like you love to hype up when everyone knows they are not going to do anything come playoff time
its just the way it is and the way it always has been
who was the best player in the league in shaqs first year? kobe in 09? those guys were clearly the best player in the league, or at least top 2
people like to think that 4-5 teams can win every year, at the end of the day it will almost always be the team with the best player. talking about teams like the clippers and pacers is a waste of time

Even in the finals, out of the two teams playing in most cases the team with the best player is going to pull it out and 9/10 that player is probably top 5 in the league. Also, The lead up all the way to the finals. The chance to actually win a ring by playing in the finals. The best of the best players will almost always have you contending and either being at the finals or damn close.

You shouldnt want us to suck that bad. Our pick next year is protected top 5 i believe. 25 losses will get us close to being in the top 5
Anything lower and the suns get the pick i believe

This game is done.
Raps come out so flat at the start of the quarter. That and foul could is 3-0 already 3 minutes in, Amir with 2 of them.
Im disgusted.

A team with Bron will be the favorites to win until like 2020.
OKC, SAS, MIA
no other team has a chance. At all.
