'11 mavs would put in work
my list since 2007:
08 celtics
2012 heat
2011 mavs
09 lakers
2013 heat
2014 spurs
2010 lakers
People REALLY overrate the 2008 Celtics, and I think 2009 Lakers would be very tough, but this is probably the best team the league has seen in about 7-8 years.

Oh yeah no doubt. 2014 spurs could skull any team in history.
Mavs match up poorly with the Spurs this decade, always have.
This year's Spurs would crush last year's Heat. Only 2009 Lakers would be very tough.
What yall talking about? '14 mavs took us to 7! '11 Mavs would absolutely be a challenge and I'm not confident enough to say we'd for sure come out on top.
Meh mavs took them to 7 cause of the spurs lack of motivation. We all saw what happened in game 7 when the spurs had something to play for, tbh...
there's always a severe lack of motivation whenever you're fighting for redemption and to win a championship. their season long study of how to beat miami is evidenced that they obviously are taking this very seriously.
this is the problem with spur fan they always win a few games then go full re .
The '11 Mavs won in large part bc of a LeBron chokejob and the fact that scrubs like Mike Bibby and Joel Anthony were key players for the Heatles.
Theyre a fluke champ, similar to the '06 Heat when the Mavs choked. This years Spurs are historic. Theres really no comparison tbh.
Really? A frontcourt of Gasol, Bynum and Odom vs Jim and Splitter![]()
the '14 spurs won in large part bc of a wade/bosh chokejob and the fact that scrubs like norris cole, rashard lewis and an aged birdman were key players for the Heatles.
They're a fluke champ, similar to the 07 spurs when the mavs choked against golden state. the 2011 mavs are historic. there's really no comparison tbh.
Jim splitter and ing baynes skull ed Dwight and pau![]()
No señor, try again.
b-but dets different![]()
you were on a roll in the diaw thread don't choke brah
the winningest franchise in sports, coming back from a barely lost finals appearance is different from a one and done team thats had difficulty making the playoffs since
At the end of the day, your team won a ring. Thats all that matters, even if it was a fluky stretch.
A team that has won 4, soon to be 5, with the same core cannot be a fluke buddy.![]()
Sure against a team without Kobe, Fisher, Bynum, Odom and Ariza... try again son. Chimp12 has a post game and no outside shot unlike Odom and Pau. Plus, a healthy Bynum had a 30 board game against Jim.
...
They would get owned, period. This spurs team would soundly defeat them.
Whatever you say. Miami's lack of a legit frontcourt is making spurfan delusional.
Ibaka's return was enough to win back 2 games for OKC, now imagine what Pau, Bynum and Odom could do.
with the Ibaka excuse, you saw us beat them easily when he was playing too. Your bigs wouldn't have much of a chance, barely better than Memphis's bigs and we took them apart easily last year . It would goto 6 games.
I don't know, 2008 Celtics were a different animal defensively and unlike the Heat, Boston didn't depend on a single player and Doc was a huge proponent of sharing the wealth offensively. 08 Celtics ranked as the second stingiest team of the post-1980 era, it would be interesting to see how they handle the Spurs for sure.
Kobe would chuck them out of the game while being inefficient thanks to green/Kawhi. Neither Bynum not Pau could defend the spurs PnR at all
kobr would go 13-33 for 30 points and you'd say he had no help
I hate the Lakers but you have a point..
The spurs have more than shown they can deal with bigs by crushing the Dwight/pau and Gasol/Randolph frontcourts last year. Okc went 2-2 in games with ibaka even though 3 of those 4 were in okc
