What it doesn't factor in, is how unique they are for a team with their metrics. No prior history of being a team even close to this caliber, PG being by far the best player on the roster, no other HOF caliber player, rookie coach, faced no adversity throughout the season.it doesn't contradict anything I've been preaching, actually..stop reaching..
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..
This is why I never feared this team like the numbers suggested they should be.
The Lakers were favored to sweep by pretty much every analyst and pundit. The Malone injury is a weak excuse. He played 4 games in the series and had little impact. I also think Slava (a good shooter) was a better matchup against those Pistons because he could improve spacing. Shaq also dominated the paint. If we're going to call a spade a spade, the reason for the upset was Kobe gunning for the Finals MVP and not being able to stop Rip Hamilton.
What we are watching is some really ty basketball.
2004 was a massive choke job. Injuries are excuses used by pussies and assholes. Your fearless leader won't say that to you due to contract restrictions, but that's his ethos.
At that point Kobe did not have a Finals MVP. He was at odds with Shaq who had 3. He was flying back and from from his rape trial. Shaq openly criticized him for not passing the ball. The stats don't lie, Kobe threw that series away Kobe style.
OP always provides fresh takes.
Lebron's good, that's very illuminating!
I didn't know it's my job to provide fresh takes, tbhOP always provides fresh takes.

Unfortunately, people on here are so re ed that it has to be repeated over and over again in hopes that they'll finally get it.OP always provides fresh takes.

We are certainly watching the most unwatchable basketball in the Finals since Lakers vs. Celtics though
Yeah, once Perkins fell over. It was like somebody died. I mean Ainge didn't have to go home, but, he sure as had to get the out of there. tee, hee.
Why is Thunder without Westbrook ineligible? Injuries are part of the game.
And no, 7 out of 8 is not insurmountable. The number only showed the parity of the league, and the fact that there could be two top ten teams in the same year illustrates that.
That doesn't even mention GSW comes in 7 out of the 10, on the lower end of the spectrum, and that teams 11 to 14 on the list failed to win the championship.
It was just all around horrible basketball. Having Perkins there would make it even more unwatchable.
I'll just bet it was. About 13 down 3rd quarter you eased on forward, then Fish snatched the life right out of ya,,,and you went back to being...amb.
That's was the nite Kori ran Luva because she couldn't take it,,,just dish it.
Pictures don't lie either.
Then you subsequently get your pushed in and were shinin' shoes with us, right there with us. You basically told Fish to off with his miracle heave.
Absolutely. That was before you knew about counts. I taught you that, son. Me
Yup, those crazy amount of FTs in the 4th really was something else, never saw it before in my life, except in 2000 vs. the Blazers and 2002 vs. the Kings.
Only pussies & assholes blame the officiating.

Adelmann begged that er out of the TO to stand fast in the ranks. The horn, amb, the in' horn blarin' as that shot comes in. CWEBB is y, oh, him y. The last look:::the game clock on top of the back board in full flight. Sweet Jesus!!
Yeah, because that video shows 2 of these...
Ditto for those who blame the media, tbh.
Horry was clutch, no doubt, but that wasn't Game 6.
Here's your's as JVG eviscerates Tim Duncan:::
Exactly what I was thinking.
That series went 7 dreadful games.
Game 7 involved volleyball rebounding after Perkins died.
Awful stuff.
It was only dreadful because it catapulted Kobe over that Duncan.
It was terrible basketball. In 7 games, they only broke the 100pt threshold in 2.
Also, in H2H Finals matchups between the Lakers and Celtics... Lakers 3;;;Celtics 9
9>3
Well, that is certainly Media driven oversight.
