yeah.. I mean, obviously Dallas was the "best" by some metric, given their metric. but the Spurs had the best expected w-l. They led the league in point differential, which is a pretty telling stat. Pop "rests" his starters because he's smart and because his team is good enough to crush the competition only getting 95 mins per game from Duncan/Manu/Parker. And they won it all. Crazy how that happens.

Bleh. The Spurs tanked the first half of the season, but dominated the second half. Since the regular season means a lot less in the NBA (for top-level teams) than MLB, for ex, I don't really care how you define "best regular season." Personally, I couldn't stand watching the Spurs for the first half of the year, whereas I enjoyed the Suns and Mavs the entire way, and the Spurs' 2nd half run wasn't enough to make up for that. The playoffs on the other hand....
