I'm more impressed (or saddened) that someone took the time to rate 1485 teams.

They took a simple formula and applied it to a data set. BFD.

Mind-numbingly boring.

I'm not sure how accurate this is, they have this years Warriors team as the 4th best team ever.

You should probably read the methodology, then.

Based on this, the '97 and '98 Jazz were better than every NBA champion to come after them except the 2009 Lakers, 2013 Heat, and 2014 Spurs. What horrible timing.

Means a title CAN be won in Utah?

Spurs have 5 rings but only one team better than '96-97 and '97-98 Jazz. Bulls '96-97 and '97-98 teams were top 7. Timing is everything.

The warriors are soooooooo good. Locke has been talking about it all year. They are one of the best teams ever.

I agree.
No weakness. If they would not have taken some games off when they had the #1 sec locked up, they could have challenged for the best record of all time imo.
