Lebron made it to the finals in 07 without Shaq or Mo no?
You gotta give this one to the spurs.
Spurs would win more w/out 2 out of Duncan/Parker/Ginobili
over
Lakers: Kobe/Gasol/Artest
Celtics: Garnett/Pierce/Allen
Mavs: Dirk/Kidd/Terry
Suns: Nash/Amare/Richardson
Cavs: Lebron/Mo/Shaq
Lebron made it to the finals in 07 without Shaq or Mo no?
LeBron would probably be the only other guy that could contend with us because he has shown he can get pretty far in the playoffs without a big star next to him and Kobe couldn't do alone, so he's out.
well I was talking about regular season. No team would advance to the finals w/out 2 or their big 3.
BUT, I put the Cavs w/Bron a close second to the SPurs
We have a big three?
I thought we had a big one.![]()
If you switch out Shaq/Z/Andy with Pau/Bynum/Odom, how good are the Cavs?
cavs would have this one... james did go to the finals without mo and shaq. i wouldn't consider mo and shaq part of anything "big" though.
damn, yeah Blazers/Spurs would be a good matchup
ok this is cavs easy.
And don't forget the rockets
What makes the spurs contenders?
They aren't.
Homers just can't accept the truth![]()
That's frightening.
they are 4th in Hollinger's rankings![]()
um, no.
im taking the celtics, because all three of them have been #1 players that lead a team to the playoffs. so at least you have one of them.
parker and ginobili have never been a true #1 that led a team without any other real stars to the playoffs.
It depends on which two of the three are gone. Everybody is saying the Cavs but if one of those two is Lebron they're ed.
I would agree with you except it's 2009 and Ray Allen/KG are s s of what they used to be in their primes....
at this point KG/Ray equivalent to Manu/TP. Spurs are stronger in the bench.
KG/Ray >>> Manu/TP
GTFO homer
That's only 'cause they never had to. I've no doubt they could have done it if given the chance.
KG/Ray > Manu/TP
...However...
Manu/TP = or > Ray/Pierce
i have no doubt that lebron could win 10 les in a row if he had a team of:
C - Duncan
PF - Dirk
SF - Lebron
SG - Allen
PG - Kidd
Bench - Garnett, Bowen, Nash
all in their primes
coulda woulda shoulda
TP and Manu havent proven other than they can win les as second/third fiddle to Timmy who is one of the 5 greatest players of all time
Ray/Pierce >> Manu/TP
Manu and TP have been about as useless as an asshole on your elbow this year.
