Rank these past NBA Teams

Assani, I think it'd be inhumane to make anyone watch Eric Snow play against Eric Snow. There is clearly no worse form of torture.

'96-'97 Heat were down 3-1 to the Knicks in Round 2 until the bench-clearing brawl. They were then manhandled by the Bulls in the Eastern Finals, and it's a [censored] massive disservice to basketball that we didn't get to see the obviously pre-destined Knicks-Bulls in '97. That series would have gone 6-7 and been incredible.

They're my pick for worst.

Good pick. I agree.

Whoever said Ilgauskis this year > than Mutombo that year is crazy. Mutombo was teh awesome.

[ClarkNasty]

The 96-97 Jazz lost to a Bulls team that was worse than the 89-90 Bulls team. Food for thought in this debate.

Been a Jazz fan since I was 11 or 12. continually have arguments with people when I insist the 97 or 98 Jazz would have beaten any other team in the NBA in 4/5 games if Jordan was still playing baseball. People forget they won 64 and then 62 games in back to back years, and crushed Olajuwon and Kobe/Shaq in the playoffs along the way.

I think Big Z > Mutombo. I remember Matt Harpring (HE PLAYS FOOTBALL) was the 2nd best scorer on that sixers team. Yaouch! (And I love Harp, he plays on the jazz, gotta love him, but... He's a decent 6th man, but 2nd scoring option gets a big WTF)

Your memory is really crappy. Harpring wasn't on that Sixers team, and the Celtics didn't make the ECF that year. The 41-14 Sixers team prior to the Ratliff/Kukoc/Muhammed for Mutombo trade was amongst the best teams listed. The one after trading for Mutombo (15-12 reg season, 12-11 playoffs) was probably the worst.

I think the Mutombo 76ers would have a 7 game series with 06-07 Cavs, winning or losing depending on who had home court advantage.

I think it's clear that Philly'01 is the worst of the bunch. As to the best, I'm partial to the Jazz and Blazers, but I abstained from voting cause I never saw some of the older teams.

I think there's an omission on the list - the Pacers team that took the Bulls to game 7 in ECF in their last championship year.
