Just lucky with relatively few injuries. Dirk was injured or Mavs would have finished on top. LA was coasting - hard to maintain intensity after 3 runs to the Finals. OKC, Den - mid season trades. Por, NO - injuries.
Back in 03, 05 and 07, Pop was still sane and valued defense. I feel sorry for Barry and the very short chain he was on when I see Bonner/Blair out there.
