What do the teams that made the playoffs last year all have in common?

[1Parker1]

The two teams that made the Finals didn't have an All-Star point guard.

That's what I was going to say. And not only that, both PG's in the Finals were basically complete non-factors for the series.

While having a great PG can certainly help a team, it's definitely not the be all and end all to winning a championship. You look at the teams that have made it to the Finals the past couple years, Lakers, Celtics, Miami Heat of 06, Cavs of 07, etc. non of those teams had a great PG, but they were still able to win it.

More than anything I would argue you always need to have the best player, regardless of their position, on the court to win it all or even a series in the playoffs. See DWade, Tony Parker, Paul Pierce, etc.

What did they have In common?

At least two and perhaps three quality players of all-star caliber. One star player won't cut it in this game.

Tim Duncan is the best player on the Spurs, not Tony "1-dimensional" Parker. Manu is better too.
