Hardest fought NBA finals 2000-2010?

[pass1st]

We seen a lot of notorious calls, cake walks and BS this past decade when it comes to the post-season. That's what tends to come up when you mention LAL or SAS ringing. That's all fun to discuss, but what do you guys think is the hardest fought NBA finals in the past decade? Never mind any notoriety or competition level, but what final series pushed a team the most? Made them bleed, sweat and work the most.

I'll probably give it to 2010 Lakers since they were pushed to their limits. They forced the C's to come back to LA after disappointing performances. Kobe, Gasol, Fisher, etc; they all put everything into that title. Probably bias, but hey, we all are.

2010 Lakers definitely had to work incredibly hard for their championship. I really enjoyed that series overall, even though everyone (including Lakerfans whether or not they want to admit it) knows the second half of game 7 was incredibly fishy.

[pass1st]

'05 spurs is a good one, Pistons were a real force for that time. I actually bet they would ring, but that's 20 outta my pocket.

'07 Finals, the audience had to fight hard not to fall asleep!

I believe if the Celtics had shot 100% they still would have lost. When one team shoots 600% more free throws than the other, they are hard to beat.
2005... was the hardest fought, no question.

We were extremely fortunate that Perkins went down in '10. That gave us a physical advantage & a mental advantage.

'05 Spurs and '10 Lakers.

I may give the edge to the 2005 one, since game was tied at the start of 4Q in Game 7.
I don't remember how the 4Q of the '10 title was.

#1) Perkins didn't just "go down"...

dirty ass Bynum threw all his weight on him on purpose....


#2) 25 free throws in the last 20 minutes of the game...no accident there...

[silverblk mystix]

...and no contest...the best series and the toughest one was Spurs/Pistons...

um, no. that series completely sucked ass, except for one game. they were basically all blowouts (of 80-60 :lmao), aside from the Horry-for-3 game, and game 7 was alright but not great.

2010 Celtics vs Lakers was FAR superior. This past finals was FAR superior as well. Pretty much every other finals series over the past 10 years was pretty boring overall.

[Cuppycake Gumdrop]

Agreed, aside from the Horry game, the 05 Finals weren't that great and nobody outside of Detroit and San Antonio thought it was that great. Just because it goes 7 games doesn't automatically make it a great series.

2010 Finals is easily the hardest fought (and best) series of that time span.

People tend to recall older games as being better. It's mostly about having an interest in the outcome. Hockey is boring, but go to Philly and see how stupid they get over it.

I think you just don't know shit about it.

I pick the the 2008 WC Finals the last time the Spurs were relevant:

Lol good call.

The first four games were essentially blowouts for each home team. And game 7 turned when Larry Brown decided he'd save fouls for McDyess and Rasheed in the third quarter and played Tayshaun Prince at PF. Not coincidentally, Tim Duncan went off on offense right around the same time even though he had had an up and down series offensively and was pretty much struggling most of that game 7 up to that point.

But game 5 was a classic. Probably Robert Horry's greatest game and finest overall play in his career in that fourth quarter and overtime. It was more than just that game tying three. He took over in the fourth and overtime. Never really saw that from Horry before. Seen him make clutch shots before, but not take over the game. He had 21 of the Spurs final 32 points of the game.

The rest of the series wasn't all that great, and again the first four games weren't even competitive.

Didn't the Wallaces and McDyess all have 4 fouls midway through the third? They paid bigtime there for losing Williamson and Okur. Detroit had a 9 point lead and was getting ready to blow the game open.

[Dex]

'05 Finals was so weird. First four games were all blowouts in favor of the home team, Pistons nearly had that shit in hand until Big Shot Rob turned the series on a dime, then games 6 and 7 were both dogfights.

I still will never forget the knots that my stomach was in when the tip for Game 7 was about to go up.

[DPG21920]

Dude, this years finals wasn't epic. It was good, but I agree 2010 finals was probably the best.

Does your dumb fucking ass even know the definition of the word "homer?" Seeing as he isn't a fan of either the Celtics or Lakers, I'd like to see you explain how he is a "homer" for that statement you piece of shit. I swear some of you are so stupid it should be a crime.

After watching that third quarter, there was only one possession Prince was on Duncan. It was off a Detroit miss when Duncan beat Ben Wallace down the floor and Prince had to to pick him up. Wallace decided he wasn't going to double off Horry at the spot he sunk Sacramento from, so Duncan got an easy 3 point play on the right block. There was an inbounds play where Horry screened Ben and Prince had to close out on Duncan as he fired a shot to beat the shotclock too. Not sure why Wallace didn't fight harder through it.

I believe so. But there were 3 of them, not just 2. If 1 fouls out, you got the other 2 for the remainder of the game and then that's when you try to figure things out with a makeshift line-up.

I don't think Williamson would have helped much. And losing Okur did suck, but at the time under that CBA (pre the Arenas early Bird rights rule), the Pistons couldn't keep both Rasheed and Okur. It was one or the other. They made the right choice keeping Rasheed.

I think it changes quite a few things. With only one real big, you can't switch off in the paint when there's traffic, you can't pack the paint with 2 bigs, you aren't doubling with 2 bigs. Plus, the entire season, the Pistons never really went small like that (at least not for a meaningful stretch of a game that I had recalled) but they do it in game 7 of the Finals? Prince hadn't played PF before that season.

The first season Prince really started spending legitimate time at PF was the 2008-09 season under Michael Curry. Before that, Prince played more PG than he did PF. I think it affected the defense more than just the actual one-on-one mad defense on Duncan. I just thought it was an extremely questionable move that did affect the direction of the game.

But again, it's easy for me to claim that after the fact, so I don't know...

The 2 best for sure ...Horry doesnt nail that 3 ..tim has one less title. Shit Horry doesnt hit that 3 agoinst Sacto 2 seasons before that, the Lakers dont 3 peat.

Horry needs a jersey in the rafters in both staples and AT&T sure he was no great player ... no way Kobe,SHAQ, DUNCAN or Manu win as many titles without him ...

No one had seen it even at Bama!! :lol ...it's like Rob knew it was his last grand stage ... and he seized it. Again not a great player but he was not just clutch 3's. He has made plenty of clutch blocks, steal and rebounds as well. that game he put it ALL together including a surprisingly emphatic dunk.

They did not have that game 5 OT win though like the HOrry game! I know I am a fan, but to me that was the best finals since the 00 times! 05 was the best and hardest drug out IMO! That shyt was a damn war.

Hell no...it was a beatdown that was mercifully over in 5 games.

Nothing will ever compare to the nutpunch that is Game 4 of the 2008 Finals. I felt nauseous and didn't wanna talk to anyone for a week. Losing to the Celtics only compounded it. Worst sports memory for me since 99.

[Leetonidas]

2005 or 2010 Finals, only two to go to 7 games. I'll take the homer pick but 2010 was a good series from a basketball perspective.

[stretch]

stench of homer

84-69 (15 pts)
97-76 (21 pts)
96-79 (17 pts)
102-71 (31 pts)
96-95 (1 pt)
95-86 (9 pts)
81-74 (7 pts)

92-84 (8 pts)
95-93 (2 pts)
88-86 (2 pts)
86-83 (3 pts)
112-103 (9 pts)
105-95 (10 pts)

judging by scoring margins, the second mentions series would seem to be much more entertaining.

and then lets add story lines to them. the first series had...... well.. virtually nothing. people were more interested in the ongoing Shaq/Kobe feud. oh and i think Sheed guaranteed a victory, that was pretty entertaining.

then there was the whole "Big 3" thing going on in the latter series, a finals rematch, and 2 long-time superstars going for their first championship, after failing the first time around (Dirk and Lebron).


you tell me, who is being the homer?

[stretch]

Dude, this years finals wasn't epic. It was good, but I agree 2010 finals was probably the best.

no one said it was epic. its just you overreacting like usual to the fact that you felt someone dismissed the spurs and gave the mavs credit, even though that wasnt the case at all.





DPGs response - "that doesnt make sense"

2004 was the hardest to take.

Hell, a legit claim can be made that the 2004 finals was more entertaining than the 2005 finals, simply due to the many storylines involved, in particular the demise of the Lakers.

It's because it doesn't make sense. You've turned into a little whiny b who uses generic throw away lines constantly.

This thread was about hard fought and great finals and someone brought up the Mavs when it wasn't that great. I never even said a word about the Spurs and their finals at all bc objectively I know they weren't up there (even if they produced iconic moments). I even said the Mavs series was good :lol so what the f*ck are you talking about girl?

[DPG21920]

It's also hilarious how I'm prob the #1 spur fan on the site for respecting Dirk and the Mavs. Ive been sticking up for Dirk long before he rang.

You bring absolutely nothing to the table, and after all the crying you do on a daily basis about cully and guys like that, its pretty ironic for you to call anyone whiny. :lmao You were trying to get them banned because you think they are legitimately bad people. Pull your head out of your ass, you midget crybaby bitch.

All I said was that the 2005 Finals was massively overrated, it was a series of blowouts, with ONE good, hard fought game sandwiched between, and an okay game 7 that was completely marred with a shitstorm of foul calls all over the place, instead of letting the guys play. The series itself was a mound of sloppy, boring basketball that only Piston/Spur fans could truly love to have watched. The 2010 series was the best finals of this decade, and its not even close. But in the next tier down, I would say that this years finals would be next in line, mainly due to the closeness of the games and the storylines involved. But in general, most of the finals this decade were pretty average to completely shitty overall.

[Leetonidas]

Storylines? Margins of victory determining the entertaining value of a game? Look brah, we're all on this site because we're not average fans. A good ball game is a good ball game, there doesn't need to be a WWE storyline or anything. I mean the Mavericks buttfucked the shit out of the Lakers and that was entertaining as fuck to watch, even though the margin of victory in the last game was 30+, same with the Boston-LA finals where the Celtics absolutely destroyed the Lakers.

This is about hardest fought...and while the first 4 games weren't exceptionally close, the last 3 were absolutely dog fights that could've been defined by a single possession. Not saying the Mavericks/Heat didn't fight hard, but LeBron played like a little bitch, there's no denying his nut sack shriveled massively in that series and him not playing up to the level we all know he is capable of brings the wow factor down a little bit. If Wade and Bron were putting up 30 a game and Dirk was going apeshit and still won, I'd agree with you.

If we're going to talk about "most entertaining NBA Finals" from the last decade I'd take either Mavs/Heat finals' or the 2003 Finals (homer pick I know, but this was my most entertaining to watch personally because Duncan was at his peak and absolutely destroying the opposition).

so basically this is what you are saying

3 out of 7 games being hard fought >>>>>> 6 out of 6 games being hard fought

yeah, that makes sense :rolleyes

Bron may not have had his best series, but much of that was a result of the Mavs being entirely focused on not allow him to get hot. They felt letting Wade get hot was the lesser threat of the two.

[stretch]

there are literally TWO reasons why the 2005 series is even brought up

1. Game 5 going to OT with a last second shot winning it
2. The series went 7 games

aside from those two things, the series blew ass, and more than half of it was not even a contest and not particularly hard fought at all.

Agree with most of this, however I don't think that blowouts mean a series was not hard fought. You are right 2005 is overrated to an extent, but you had two great defensive teams that ran good offensive sets even though outside of Manu, Wallace bros, and Parker most of the key players were not GREAT natural athletes. You had Duncan who could dominate without being even the 3rd best athlete on his own team. Hamilton who succeeded through endurance. I really enjoyed 2005. I get that many people would not find successive blowouts entertaining, I just disagree that those blowouts means that series was not hard fought. In fact trading blowouts is the same as trading 2 point losses in the grand scheme of things ...each team fought hard to return the previous games' ass whuppin ...

I also agree last year's series was very good as well.

right, coming from the guy who was adamant all year long that the Spurs were an elite team. and I'm the homer?

i think anyone who has a favorite team is a bit of a homer, whether they want to admit it or not. there are people who will flat out pull and root for their team and show their homer side, and others who will purposely be a negative nancy just for the sake of "not looking like a homer" (like sribb and findog), which is even more ridiculous than being a flat out homer.

There is only ONE poster I have really seen here who legitimately seems to remain level headed on nearly any subject, and thats Jamstone. And its not even remotely close. He admits to have a little homer in him, but doesnt go the extreme other way by being excessively negative about his team. You seem to be incredibly focused on what people think about you on here, by constantly claiming that other people are homers and you are realistic. Quit sucking your own dick, and just be your short, faggotty self.

In response to another person who claims I'm a homer because I said that the 2010 series was by far the best, the 2005 series was overrated, and that even this years finals was more competitive and a better series overall than 2005s.

And make no mistake, the storylines made the series a lot more competitive than it would have normally been. As focused as everyone was on beating the Heat, as focused as the Mavs were on getting revenge, as much as Dirk and Wade absolutely despise each other, then taking it public during the series... yes that made the series that much more of a competitive series, considering both players were battling back and forth every game to one-up each other.

But if you think those storylines didn't contribute to the competitiveness of that series, then props to you on being a moron.

I don't want anything. I just don't understand what made you so asshurt lately? Because the Mavs won a title? Because myself and plenty of others consider Dirk to have a legit argument as a top 3 PF of all times? Because your precious Davey wasn't able to accomplish something Dirk did?

Your vagina has been bleeding like a motherfucker ever since the Finals, and hasn't slowed down in the slightest bit. And for some reason you seem excessively obsessed at aiming your bleeding habits in my direction. Lay off, faggot.

[Killakobe81]

right, coming from the guy who was adamant all year long that the Spurs were an elite team. and I'm the homer?

i think anyone who has a favorite team is a bit of a homer, whether they want to admit it or not. there are people who will flat out pull and root for their team and show their homer side, and others who will purposely be a negative nancy just for the sake of "not looking like a homer" (like sribb and findog), which is even more ridiculous than being a flat out homer.

There is only ONE poster I have really seen here who legitimately seems to remain level headed on nearly any subject, and thats Jamstone. And its not even remotely close. He admits to have a little homer in him, but doesnt go the extreme other way by being excessively negative about his team. You seem to be incredibly focused on what people think about you on here, by constantly claiming that other people are homers and you are realistic. Quit sucking your own dick, and just be your short, faggotty self.



Seeing how you cry about it and argue with them for about 500 posts a day, its hard to tell whether its a schtick or not. Congrats to you :toast



In response to another person who claims I'm a homer because I said that the 2010 series was by far the best, the 2005 series was overrated, and that even this years finals was more competitive and a better series overall than 2005s.

And make no mistake, the storylines made the series a lot more competitive than it would have normally been. As focused as everyone was on beating the Heat, as focused as the Mavs were on getting revenge, as much as Dirk and Wade absolutely despise each other, then taking it public during the series... yes that made the series that much more of a competitive series, considering both players were battling back and forth every game to one-up each other.

But if you think those storylines didn't contribute to the competitiveness of that series, then props to you on being a moron.

I would NOT go this far, but find the line amusing.:lol That is what I was getting at by teasing DPG about the "regulator" moniker. I think DPG does have some real good takes. But regulator title or no, he does seem a bit sensitive lately.

and for the record, those beneath him ...

"don't make any sense"

"dont stay on subject"

"overrate Dirk, Kobe, Mavs"

are not very smart"

But this place would not be the same without you DPG, keep holding it down.and I mean that last part sincerely. Without the back and forth with Kool and Cully there would just be virtual tumbleweds and crickets in this place.

:lmao What an idiot you are being. You should just stop. You keep using generic throw away lines. I have been of the most vocal Spurs fans about them NOT being elite DESPITE their record all last year and everyone will back that up.

Idiot.

Lol just saying about me what I said about you :lol

You've been a bitch ever since I blasted you for your shit homer ut ou take :lol I gave the Mavs props and haven't been acting any different. You have. You've acted like an obnoxious self conscious pussy since the Mavs won. Act like you've been there before damn it.

What have I done to be a bitch ever since the Texas OU game? Hell I was the first person to admit my take was obviously dead wrong, and even made a thread making fun of myself for being so fucking wrong, and have always done that when being proven wrong, or if my team fails massively.

Apparently you took my joke a little too seriously in that thread, which just makes your earlier claim about 10000000000000X funnier about being able to figure out schticks, when apparently that is the reason you have been an asshurt little chode towards me lately.

[stretch]

i wonder if the "miniature weenie" joke is what really has casued DPG to act like such a pussy. i dunno, but apparently i pushed a major button somewhere in that small thread.

[redzero]

I don't know how one can watch the 2010 Finals (especially game 7) and say that it wasn't the hardest fought one of the decade. Game 7 was ugly.

[ElNono]

2006. Dirk was well on his way to top 3 pf of all time until the zebras took over :cry :cry :cry











Now, srsly 2010 it is.

[DPG21920]

Well fact remains you act like a bitchy little kid, constantly call people faggots and other shit. You also seem to be avoiding the fact you do just say generic shit to me that doesn't make sense like saying I was calling the Spurs elite when I didn't.

Also, saying "everyone has a little homer in them" is true. What everyone doesn't have is virtually everyone making you the poster boy for being a homer :lol Have you considered that if everyone is saying it, there is truth to it?

Speaking of caring what people think, you CONSTANTLY defend yourself and attack people about the homer. Why not just say "ya I'm a homer deal with it"? Instead you hold grudges, join e-crews, spam threads and call everyone faggots. That's pretty cool I guess.

i have no doubts UT will be capable of scoring enough points to win, thanks to Harsin. everything depends on the Horns being able to stop the run. if they can stop the run without over-committing, Diaz is going to be able to dial up some crazy blitzes that will have Landry Jones falling apart, and a win for the Horns. if they struggle to stop the run, it could be a long day. but OU doesnt exactly have an elite O-line, so i'm confident that they will do fine.
