    Where do the 2012 Thunder rank?

    1999: Minnesota Timberwolves, LA Lakers, Portland TrailBlazers, New York Knicks

    2003: Phoenix Suns, LA Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, New Jersey Nets

    2005: Denver Nuggets, Seattle Supersonics, Phoenix Suns, Detroit Pistons

    2007: Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, Utah Jazz, Cleveland LeBrons

    2012: Utah Jazz, LA Clippers, Oklahoma City Thunder, TBD

    So where do the 2012 Thunder rank in opponents we have played in championship years, premature ejac as we haven't won the le, but assuming we do?

    Did they play bball in the year of our lord 1012? I think that was before tv, so there is no video of that 1012 Thunder team, so I can not answer that question.

    2003 Mavs were damn tough to. If it wasnt for Steve Kerr and Stephen Jackson three point barrages we might not have made it through that year. BTW Duncan was in insane beast MVP mode that year :-)

    05 Pistons were defending champs, we needed a Horry shot from the heavens to win that series, so I'd say they were toughest out.

    07 Suns were next toughest opponent. We needed a Horry play again, the hip check of Steve Nash to give us the edge in that series.

    This Thunder team is probably 3rd toughest opponent.


    Time will tell.

    03 Lakers were not tough out at all. They were mediocre that year. I think they were 5 seed or something. The 07 Suns were a 60 game winner that year , finishing ahead of Spurs so had HCA.

    Do you really think a thread on this site or a comment made can actually change the fate of a sporting event?

    Seriously though, no one could top Detroit as the toughest and best opponent. They were tough son of a es.

    Hence the boring tag, cuz we could not score, they could not score, it was gruesome tv to watch unless you were a fan of Detroit or SA.

    True. But I think it's safe to say that all of us enjoyed that series. Well, excluding the heart attacks .

    Still too early to throw OKC into the poll IMO. For all we know, Spurs could win games 5 and 6 with blowout victories, and time would forget how difficult the two away losses proved.
