    Everybody's favorite and "toughest" era is when their team was winning, lets not pretend otherwise, tbh..

    I doubt fans of Aids Johnson ever recall their les in the 80s as "easy", despite a few seasons where the West was even weaker than this past season's historically bad East..

    That got is a piece of work.
    09-10 was a down time. You s repeated against Dwight Coward and a Celtics team older than dirt. And the West was a joke. teams like the Nuggets making the WCF.

    most talented era when guys like Irving, Joe Johnson, and Paul George are getting paid max money.
    As opposed to the era when Allan Houston, Vin Baker, and Brian Grant pulled max money on 7 year deals?

    We went through your Spurs to get that back2back. This is most def the weakest era in the history of the game.

    Not even knowing the history of Kirby's repeat. You beat the Spurs in '08.

    The toughest series you faced in that entire run in the West was against a Yao-less Rockets.

    If we really want to be honest here... my team has always won or at least been compe ive in ever era. I mean... 32 WC banners with 16 les means we've been in the hunt since the beginning. An era is a decade and we've competed in every decade.

    What happened with the NBA is very similar to what happened with the WWE of all things. It was too hardcore and they had to soften up 'for the kids.' The WWE used to be nasty, and ultimately had to soften up for their younger audience, the same happened with the NBA since about 2004. The league used to actually be very challenging which is why what MJ did unbelievable.

    This used to just be a flagrant foul, today this would be a solid 2-3 game suspension and you would be ejected.

    I remember a few years before that when the players were allowed to bring their gats on the floor

    So your reasoning is that market forces actively depreciate the talent pool? That makes no sense. Johnson is a terrible contract, Irving is a massively talented young PG, and George is a top 3 two-way player in the game right now. It's funny, 'cause teams are actually starting to pay for defenders these days. Not what they're worth, but they get paid more than they have in the past.

    You never went through the Spurs to win a le during the repeat. You made the Finals at their expense, and if Kobe doesn't blow that 24 point lead at home in game 4, maybe you win it that year.

    As it stands, the toughest team you faced in the West during the repeat was a Yao-less Rockets (pushed you to 7 games), whose best player was Aaron Brooks

    You guys, some tool of a GM gave Arenas a max deal. That must mean that teams are terrible these days because GMs are stupid.

    Sidebar question: How would the 2004-2005 Pistons fare in today's Western Conference? I'd say they would be at least the 3rd best team.

    No, my point is Irving and George were being hyped as being superstars, when they clearly are not. Harden too. And they are all being paid LeBron money.


    And George being a top two way player in the game. George is a career 41% shooter. And btw in discussing talent pool, who is the next best Center behind Davis and Howard? Hibbert?

    LeBron is the best SF in the league. Who behind him is even decent at SF? Leonard?......With Kobe out, Harden is the default best SG. Who is the next best behind him? Love and Aldridge are top 5 PFs, put them in the 80's and they aren't even top 15. No, this era does not have all that much talent.

    You can't really judge an era by strength of individual talent. I'd judge it by team strength.
