Worse as in roster or in matchup?
2011-12 Chicago Bulls
2010-11 San Antonio Spurs
Which team had the worse 8 come to them?
Overall. Matchups, how they were beaten...
Hard choice.
Scrubs vs scrubs in east
banged up first seed vs superior team at the time.
Tough question
Bulls missing their resident mongoloid, spurs missing manu
Sixers are a true eighth seed
Grizz were not a true eighth seed
hmmm
Even with the loss of Rose, losing to Philly is worse tbh. Memphis was surging and took the Thunder to 7 in the next round. Philly was ing horrible late in the season. They went 11-20 between the middle of February and the end of March.
Toss-up..
Chicago was missing Rose and lost Noah for the last few, but Memphis wasn't a traditional 8th seed(they clearly tanked to play the Spurs)..
Duncan was maybe 70% that series with a bum ankle. And before anyone plays the injury-excuse card, ZBo told TNT last night he's nowhere close to 100% and look where the Griz are now.
spurs by far sure spurs werent at full strength and the grizz werent ur average 8th but chi is without rose no comparison
I would say SA had the worse 8, the grizzlies are WAY better than the 76ers but the spurs had a even worse matchup disadvantage against the grizz, all thier startes outplayed ours. Chicago is really the only team to blame for this loss after a dead moral and 2 key pieces lost.
The bulls lot their best player, spurs lost the overrated tosb manu.
Spurs would still destroy 76ers without Parker....
lol spurfan saying the bulls had the worse 8 come to them despite gangbanger and the ugliest mother er in the league missing multiple games. no matter how you slice it, bullfan has an ironclad excuse, whereas spurfan will continue to be ridiculed (albeit a very contentious excuse, just not on the same level).
This thread is confusing
A) Manu played in the Grizzlies series ......and LOST
B) Rose played & his team WON
C) Spurs also were missing their best post player?
This thread is stupid
I think the Bulls getting ed on has minded ed you.
It'll be decided in the 2nd round. Memphis gave OKC all they could handle in Round 2. It legitimized the Spurs loss. If Philly gets waxed by Boston in 4 or 5, it makes the Bulls loss look even worse.
How are you comparing a team down 2 of their starters to a fully healthy team?
Awww it's ok, you always have next year no need to be mad.
Mad?
I'm honored to see the fully healthy 2011 Spurs comparing themselves to a Bulls team down 2 starters
Did I stutter
Duncan played = 6 games
Ginobili played = 5 games
Rose played = 1 game
Noah played = 3 games

I think you really know what you're talking about. OP asked which team had the worse matchups/talents to thier respective teams. These two #1 seeds aren't related in away except by how they're eliminated.
If the Spurs lost Duncan & Parker, they would have lost to the Sixers too
There is NO team in the current NBA playoffs that would win a playoff series with their 2 best players out
