NON-JAZZ NBA PLAYOFF thread

[framer]

Sorry, Lebron, short of pulling a weapon and gunning down the Phoenix starting 5, there is no amount of referee ****ery that can bail you out of this one.

It's not over until it's over for this very reason.

I don't even think the intellectually challenged zebra's can help him out of this hole.

Eh, the Suns can't beat us if CP3 isn't 100%.

Smash CP3s shoulder then punch Booker in the face. The rest should take care of itself.

When was the last time a nonesuper team won it all? Would the raptors from two years ago be considered a super team? Do you need three studs or does two sure fire HOF’rs work?

I view a super-team as being a group built explicitly by the players by bringing in their buddies to an otherwise non-competitive situation. Miami with LeBron was the poster-child for that. LA is one right now as LeBron brought in AD directly. Brooklyn is obvious. The clippers are trying to be that but the 2 guys they got in all of a sudden haven't panned out, but that was their attempt.

Sometimes super-teams form by draft and trade but I don't view them the same. The Lakers in the 80s even the Lakers in the early 2000s fit this. They got the great players together but frankly no one saw Kobe becoming maybe the 3rd all-time best player. Of course Shaq went there chasing the glory of the Lakers but if Kobe hadn't become one of the greatest all-time do they ever become that dominant?

That's different than a few all-star buddies colluding and deciding where they will meet up to chase the ring.

By this standard, the warriors are the poster-child of the naturally-built super-team, because again it wasn't a bunch of established stars deciding to meet up in Miami to simply overwhelm everyone.

Of course even the Miami LBJ super-team were thwarted by 2 of the great modern teams built the fair way.

Of course this is just my opinion. And of course a win is a win is a win, so the ring still count, even if it is Durant ring chasing by hanging on the coattails of an already established super team. But I have a lot less respect for that one. But you can't take it out of the record books. It's still counts. Just like if this year everyone except the Jazz came down with some weird stomach sickness that took every single team out and we won by default, that ring would still count.
