Rank these past NBA Teams

03-04 Pistons would not be in first place. However, they would be tough as hell to beat in a Best of 7 playoff series. That was Ben Wallace in his prime, Sheed focused under LB, and everyone else working well together. Most wins is prob Jazz or Suns.

btw, voted the sixers as last place, they were so overhyped. the east THEN was even worse then it is now. like... wow, the east sucked. the [censored] celtics made it to the ecf!!!

Was that Sixers team really worse than the Cavs that made it last year though?

Once he reaches his prime Lebron is clearly better than AI, but AI in his prime against Lebron now is at least close...although yeah I'd take Lebron if I had to make a choice.

Motombo?>>>Illgauskas(sp?)

Snow was on both teams

McKie imo was better than Boobie even though he had a great playoff stretch

I think a series between those two teams would come down to two things: The coaching edge for Philly(not even close) and Pepe Sanchez's clutchness. Philly wins 4-3.

i think the cavs would win that matchup b/c a)you can't touch lebron, while ai takes tons of contact

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)

McKie, Mutombo, Snow were not scorers. That team was so 1 dimensional; AI scored like 33% of the teams points or something ludicrous.

The Cavs of last year are close, though. (As much as I dislike him, they also have Larry Hughes...) Basically, the core of Lebron (>AI) Z (>Mutombo) Hughes (>Harp) Sasha (>Snow) and Varejo (>McKie) is just stronger at every position.

philly does have the coaching edge though. I think the Cavs would win in 6.

bobbo why are you such a huge jazz fan?

'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.

i voted for houston cause they had hakeem the dream, can't remember who else.

i loved that guy. i'd take him over tim duncan, moses malone, nate thurmond, bill lambier (obviously)

i voted for the sixers as worst just on a hunch and it seems my hunch was dead on

[botulism]

Suns FTW, but man that Portland team was good and really choked.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I didn't vote for them, but the Kings deserve more love. The worst officiating in the last decade lost them that series (edit: which was basically the Finals).

[lapoker17]

in this league - i think that blazer team beats the piston team in the finals. not a portland fan but that team was tough.

and yeah - that sac team would finish 3rd.
