:mjlol: at all these lies post facts if u want ppl to take u serious.

The suns were ranked 9th that season in defensive rtg. Also had one of the top offenses of all-time

Also who was first that season in defensive rtg? The Knicks who the bulls beat 4-2 in the ECF

Lebron has had a walk to the finals his whole career the eastern conference was much tougher in the 90's
Cmon only like 4 or 5 times anyone thought the Bulls had comp going to the Finals

91' Pistons were out of respect, but they were done.

92' Cake walk

93' Knicks only because they were up 2-0

96' Orlando 4-0

97' Cakewalk

98' I don't think no one thought the Pacers out of all teams would take the Bulls to a 7th game

The East was garbage when Jordan won and garbage when Lebron won

But atleast Bron eliminated two teams coming off Final appearances in the East

weren't the Celtics, Bulls and Pacers all were top 3 in defenses from 2011-2014:gucci:

2010-11 Chicago Bulls Roster and Stats | Basketball-Reference.com

2010-11 Boston Celtics Roster and Stats | Basketball-Reference.com

2011-12 Boston Celtics Roster and Stats | Basketball-Reference.com

and the 2011 Bulls had better defensive stats and a better record overall than the 93 Knicks

Shyt got me :patrice: on 1 hand bcuz that Utah team in particular I just never knew how they scored enuff 2 keep up. Karl Malone is great but I don't remember much in the way of him driving 2 the basket. I just remember fakes that led 2 elbow jump shots and getting points running the floor via Stocktons court vision.

The 2013 and 2014 Spurs teams w/ Kawhai and Tony Parker puttin in work seem much better at 1st glance. The offense seemed more varied as far as shooting (Danny Green) vs driving ( Tony Parker, Kawhai) post play (Tim Duncan) etc. Utah seemed very 1 dimensional by comparison. OP could B onto something

I need to find the stats that said the Suns weee the worst defensive team to be in the finals. Mark Wear and Oliver Miller were defensive sieves while Wespthal stressed no commitment to defense

Boston was 1st in points allowed and 2nd in defensive rating in 2010-11. In 2011-12, they were 2nd in points allowed and 1st in defensive rating. The bulls were 2nd in points allowed and 1st in defensive rating in 2010-11. In 2011-12, they were 1st in points allowed and 2nd in defensive rating. 2012-13, they were 3rd in points allowed and 6th in defensive rating. The pacers were 2nd in points allowed and 1st in defensive rating in 2012-13 and in 2013-14.

The east right now and the last few years may be the weakest conference in sports history forget just the nba. Those Knicks teams would've won multiple rings in this era. Those Knicks teams beat both the Mavs and Thunder that Lebron faced.

:mjlol: Those Knicks struggled with the trash ass pacers. Who's gonna guard Dirk or Russ or KD? Who's gonna score besides Patrick? They're gonna hang with the KG/Allen/Pierce celtics now :russ:? They're gonna beat a spurs team that ran 9-10 deep and could torch you from anywhere on the floor :pachaha:? shyt, they'd struggle with the Paul George and :trash: era pacers.
