What do the teams that made the playoffs last year all have in common?

[Tacker]

Lakers
Denver - Allen Iverson
Utah - Deron Williams
Rockets
Spurs - Tony Parker
Phoenix - Steve Nash
Mavericks - Jason Kidd
Hornets - Chris Paul

Celtics
Hawks
Cavaliers-
Wizards - Gilbert Arenas
Raptors
Magic
Pistons - Chauncey Billups
76ers

Half of the teams that made the playoffs last year all had an allstar Point Guard.... Pretty much nowadays you cant go anywhere without a Point Guard.

Lakers sucked ass in 2007 but with the addition of Fisher, they became a deep playoff team , they were still badass before the additon of Gasol

Hawks were bad too but when they acquired Mike Bibby they became playoff teams.

Conclusion:- Its a good damn thing Paxon selected Derrick Rose over Mike Beasley....

[tlongII]

None of them will win the title next year.

Oh yea, and wrong forum.

[Juanobili]

yeah, how could you forget Rondo?

[itzsoweezee]

how many teams (other than those having MJ on them) have won an nba championship without an all-star big man?

conclusion, chicago screwed up. especially considering that they desperately need a big man that can score.

[ShoogarBear]

The two teams that made the Finals didn't have an All-Star point guard.

Before Big Men dominated but this time its PGs

Fail...

80's Pistons.

That explains why both the Finals teams didn't have an allstar point guard and had an allstar power forward.

[Tully365]

I have nothing against point guards, but the way I look at it the two best Post Players of the past decade-- Duncan and Shaq-- have 8 rings between them, and the two best point guards-- Nash and Kidd have zero. The best Chicago team of the 90s featured a starting lineup of Harper/Jordan/Pippen/Rodman/what-his-face, which = no point guard at all.
In the last 20 years, I'd say the SG position has been more valuable than the PG position.

did rondo also come from a small school?

true. now, with 2 all-star pg's, a rappin frenchman with a wicked teardrop, and the CP3-rondo-DWill stopper GEORGE HILL, the spurs will be unstoppable.

Who gives a fuck. Rose is gonna have to be Jordan Jr. on that team with scrubs like Tyrus Thomas, Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes.

[The George Hill]

The Spurs made a decision selecting George Hill.

Not right or wrong. It is understood that taking George Hill is the only thing to do.

Major Fail, Yao Ming and Dwight Howard are Centers leaving that 7 forwards less than my 8 pgs

[stretch]

didn't your thread title say "what do the teams that made the playoffs last year ALL have in common?"

so why do only like 8 of the teams have this common factor?

8=16???

go shoot yourself

you still owe me $50

douche

you fucking idiot

he listed 11 guys

11-2=9

so where do you get the "7 forwards" from?

[Rip-Hamilton32]

yao didn't even play in the playoffs

lol he is a dumbass stretch

[1Parker1]

The two teams that made the Finals didn't have an All-Star point guard.

:lol That's what I was going to say. And not only that, both PG's in the Finals were basically complete non-factors for the series.

[1Parker1]

While having a great PG can certainly help a team, it's definitely not the be all and end all to winning a championship. You look at the teams that have made it to the Finals the past couple years, Lakers, Celtics, Miami Heat of 06, Cavs of 07, etc. non of those teams had a great PG, but they were still able to win it.

More than anything I would argue you always need to have the best player, regardless of their position, on the court to win it all or even a series in the playoffs. See DWade, Tony Parker, Paul Pierce, etc.

[wildbill2u]

What did they have In common?

At least two and perhaps three quality players of all-star caliber. One star player won't cut it in this game.

[urunobili]

attention whoring thread until opened in the right forum

Tim Duncan is the best player on the Spurs, not Tony "1-dimensional" Parker. Manu is better too.
