People really don't think the spurs were the best team in the league in the regular season last year?
I mean, come on ppl, this is 2p2, you guys should know about point differential by now.

see, I think 2p2 tends to go too far with this stuff. It's not the end all be all. Hollinger isn't the end all be all. I think the Spurs were the best, but I don't think it's so clear that it isn't worth debating. Mavs and Suns were damn good.

Colin,
Duncan/Manu/TP average like 96 min/game in the reg season. When this goes up to close to 120 in the playoffs, you get 24 replacement minutes that DON'T go to Matt Bonner or Jacque Vaughn, and instead go to Duncan or Parker. This is huge. This is why even if they don't win the most reg season games, they are still the favorites to win the title with a healthy big three while Duncan is in his prime.
