The closing minutes and Overtime have been tough. So many airballs and poor fundamentals on display.
I watched 2 games at the Bar and each time people on both sides just kinda sat in silence confused as to what they were witnessing.
SRS:
1. 1971 Bucks 11.9: Won Championship
2. 1996 Bulls 11.8: Won Championship
3. 1972 Lakers 11.65: Won Championship
4. 1972 Bucks 10.7: Lost Finals
5. 1997 Bulls 10.7: Won Championship
6. 1992 Bulls 10.07: Won Championship
7. 2015 Warriors 10.01
8. 2008 Celtics 9.31: Won Championship
9. 2013 Thunder 9.15: Westbrook out for playoffs
10. 1986 Celtics 9.06: Won Championship
Lebron is 2 wins away from beating a team with metrics that should be a virtual guarantee and lock for a championship, based on the history of the league..I hope you guys appreciate what you're watching..

The intrinsic value, the heritage of the "LOB" has been lost. Only the surface worth remains,,,symbolism over substance rears it's ugly head once again.
Stop, bro..stop..
70's Bucks brooooo
Realistically, though, if the Warriors lose, it would the biggest chokejob of all-time IMO, even surpassing the 2004 Lakers..
How was 2004 a choke job? The problem with 2004 people forget is that Timberwolves series caused a lot of injuries particularly with Derek Fisher and Malone. By the time they played in the finals they had to start Medvedenko.
That team was depleted and facing the best defensive team in NBA history.
Why are 7 of the top 10 teams of all time played ancient ball?
Why were there 3 teams in the 9's?
Why was there 1 team in the 8
Why were there only two teams in the mighty 10's, with one of them not winning it all, and the other in the midst of a disappointing series (disappointing no matter what happens from this point on).
I agree in hindsight and the Lakers supporting cast was pretty bad following Malone's injury, but the 2004 Pistons had the biggest upset in the history of the Finals from an odds standpoint, tbh..
We can discuss this later, following the Finals, this thread is about the feat Lebron is going to potentially accomplish with his team..Why are 7 of the top 10 teams of all time played ancient ball?

Hindsight it's not because of what the Pistons achieved afterwards
Can I get a win expectancy statistic for the Spurs up 5 with <30 seconds in the Duncan era?
This has everything to do with what Lebron is doing, because you are trying to show how impressive these wins are over GSW, and the proof you are pulling is a stat that is 100% contradictory to what you have been believing and preaching for months. So either you are wrong about ancient ball, or this thread is pointless.
They were sellin' your . You were the prohibitive favorites with a stacked team and Shaq was dominating down low. But Kirbs refused to pass the ball to him and chucked it out of the case. Colossal chokejob.
shocked the 82-82 sixers aren't even on that list...
Duncan rang
It's just displaying the level of dominance those teams displayed in relation to their compe ion..the Warriors should be a lock for the le, based on the predictive model's history..

But he didn't repeat. Nor get the upper hand on Kobe in rings. Better luck next year gots
If it's in relation to compe ion, then this speaks to the parity of the league (or lack thereof), not the quality of opponents. Which renders this thread pointless.

No, it doesn't..if virtually every team with the same metrics in relation to their compe ion(and you could point out several other metrics that imply that the Warriors should be a lock for the le) has won a le, then the Warriors should be a lock, which speaks volumes Lebron's potential feat..
It's not a lock, 2 of the 9 teams you listed (not including the 15 GSW) did not win a championship. So it's 77.77777% of the time, which is barely over 3/4 of the time. It's not really a reflective a metric as the Clippers won Games 6 and 7 despite 80% of the teams that won Game 5 after the series was tied 2-2 went on to win the series. So you can argue what the Clippers did to the Spurs was more impressive than what the Cavs can potential do (and still hasn't done).
7 of the 8 eligible teams won the le, since it's silly to include the Thunder without Westbrook, and the only team that lost was a fellow top 10 team..
Extremely impressive, tbh, especially when you throw in that the Cavs were a +425 underdog, which would be the 2nd biggest upset in Finals history..
The Clippers beating the Spurs was pretty impressive, tbh, not taking anything away from that..what's the % of teams down 3-2 but having HCA, does it make a difference? JW..
Duncan rang
I def agree with that statement...without Malone tho, there was no team left with a fat shaq and a selfish Kobe
Im not talking hindsight...even in that series that 2004 Pistons were much better than the wobbling Lakers
If reggie makes that dunk though, those Pistons go on to lose and Lakers v Pacers 2 would have favored LA imho.
