Least respected defending champions?

[Donkeybong]

Has to be the 2011 Mavericks. They were barely talked about. And if they were, it would be about how much of a mistake it was letting Chandler go or how some mav players came in to the season out of shape.

Lol not getting to play the Wizards and go to the Whitehouse so Cuban had to make a side trip.

[clambake]

awesome

[Muser]

97/98 Bulls and it's not even close.

[nkdlunch]

06 heat

That's why they're not the least respected champions... because they weren't the same team. Only teams that are comprised of the same core players that flamed out get counted here.

why?

[Muser]

Because they went from having one of the best teams ever to being dogshit.

[Donkeybong]

lol the least respected champions sweeping the lakers

lol the least respected champions embarrassing Phil Jackson in his last game and making his kids cry in public over their father getting plowed in the ass.

lol ":cry mike breen is responsible for ron artest being suspended"

im kind of honored and creeped out that you keep track of my posts. I don't even know who the fuck you are.

Either way, yah we got punked when you swept us. I don't see how that correlates to no one giving a shit about your team the next year.

[DAF86]

Mavfans got trolled so hard that couldn't even read the thread title properly.

[BRHornet45]

1. 1999 Spurs (will soon be tied with whoever wins this shortened season, bogus championship)

2. 2006 Heat

3. 2002 Lakers

Butthurt still your Hornets didn't make playoffs :lol

This.

Phil, Jordan, and Pippen all left. The '99 Bulls were a bunch of scrubs.

If Dirk had followed Tyson Chandler out the door, then we could talk about the Mavs.

Technically the Mavs weren't champs when any of that occurred (except the MWP deal).

[HarlemHo 37]

Because they went from having one of the best teams ever to being dogshit.

If you were alive in 1998, you wouldn't be making this comment. Just because they were dogshit in '99 doesn't mean that Jordan's last championship and the Bull's second three-peat of the decade was least respected.

2007 Spurs may have been least respected. The Spurs played an under-developed Cavs team and a series that nobody watched or cared about outside of SA or Cleveland.... lowest rated Finals ever.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I still can't imagine how good OKC would be if that Chandler trade from awhile back went through and they were patient letting him get healthy.

more like you're a bastard, you ruin boards and fuck shit up with your mindless bullshit

You're okay, asshole. You rang. Quick, blink of any eye type ring, but, you rang. DUNCAN? Uh, uh. He was born in total ignorance. This Thread & him are adorable.

tee, hee.

I thought you weren't talking to me till I repudiate?

[Giuseppe]

I said I won't talk turkey OR shop with you. You ain't gettin' away with O & 43, I mean O & 44.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

yeah me too why is it talking to me? make it go away :cry
Idk. I was hoping that since I haven't repudiated he would simply gloss over my posts and not obsess about me like he probably has been doing all month. Guess not.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

What the fuck is turkey or shop? Is this another phrase you stole from some old western TV show/movie?

[Giuseppe]

What the fuck is turkey or shop?

You ain't that stupid.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

You ain't that stupid.
I have no idea what the fuck it means to talk turkey.

[Samuel Eto'o]

DoK leaving cubby high & dry at the bucket still ranks as the greatest moment in ST history imho.

[Giuseppe]

I have no idea what the fuck it means to talk turkey.

Well, get off your cute ass and go find out. This Thread concerns you nary a bit.

^He admits to being 10+ minutes late. He was the one who left me high and dry :cry

The 99 Bulls take the cake easily if you could even consider what the organisation put on the floor as the defending champions. Next in line would probably be the 06 Heat, who I believe were swept the following year by Chicago (ironically enough) in the first round. The Bulls that year were no juggernaut, I think they were either 4th or 5th in the East.

The Mavs this year were swept in the first round as well, but they lost to the number 2 seeded Thunder. Nothing to be ashamed of there as OKC is an elite team.

He acted like an asshole. I treated him like one.

[Giuseppe]

Culburn do your nuts ever get sore from the constant riding you get courtesy of the Mav bandwagon?

I wish. They're basically numb.

[Venti Quattro]

The Mavs' championship was overshadowed by the lockout but I respect the hell out of them.

Least respected was probably 2006 Miami.

[Giuseppe]

The Mavs' championship has been overshadowed by the lockout but I respect the hell out of them. They beat four fifty-win teams en route to a championship. How many teams can say that they did that?

By default for sure one can't.

tee, hee.

You caught a wrong piece information from my last post that I deleted, ha. I remembered that Portland wasn't a 50-win team so I deleted that.

[Giuseppe]

^I immediately thought of the Suns. I couldn't be wrong.

[Giuseppe]

because Laker fans wouldn't give a shit or say anything about the Mavs, except they're so asshurt about the skullfucking we delivered to you last year.

But, you're in the line with us now in last place.

Let us proceed...

[Giuseppe]

^Please.

No parroting please Seppe.

06 heat is a distant 2nd place maybe but the 11' mavs are hands down the weakest NBA champs in modern basketball game tbh
