Spurs: Where do last years Spurs rank as far as best playoff teams ever?

[scanry]

At the highest level, It would all depend on how the officials call it. The 2014 Spurs were built to have success under today's rules and officiating. The old Pistons bad boys teams with Rodman wouldn't be able to play their defense under today's rules. On the other hand the 2011 Mavs or 2014 a Spurs would probably get man handled and beat down by the Jordan-Rodman Bulls, IF they were plaing under their rules. In the case of the 2001 Lakers, it would depend totally on how the refs handle the Shaq matchup.

Shaq would've abused regardless. Not a damn thing you could do to contain him after he developed an inside game.

Here is an important fact:

The '83 "Fo, Fo, Fo" Sixers, often called one of the greatest teams of all time, trailed at halftime in all 4 finals games versus the Lakers.

Do not forget this fact.
