Mavs still had Dirk
Lakers still had Kobe and Bynum
Spurs is not even debatable, nobody on the SPurs was a shell of themselves, Parker and Ginobli were as good as theyve ever been, Duncan was older but he was much closer to his young self than Pierce or Allen. and they had the best record in the L. If you beat Chi with Rose Id give you credit but last years run to the Finals was a hell of a lot more impressive for the HeaT than this years. Plus you didnt need any help from the refs last year.
I'd give them their props for beating the spurs after being put in a 0-2 hole.
BUT
Mavs and Lakers were not, I repeat, were not contenders this year.
Nobody even gave them a chance to begin with.
Those fukk boys from OKC were heavy favorites in those first two rounds.
Those two series wins were about as impressive as when the Cavs beat the bulls and Hawks back in 09.
You're just an agenda picking faqqit.
