No I put "team that didn't win a ring" to cover them

That team might be the best in the NBA right now. They're like the Suns done right kind of.

Didnt the sonics and jazz each win 64 games... i know that the year chicago won 72 games seattle won 64... that has to easily be the record for best combined winning percentage in an nba finals

93 Suns and 2000 Blazers were two of the deepest teams I ever saw.

The 2009 Cavs went 66-16 are you going to tell me they're a better team then these two were?

**Hyperion** · 08-13-2012, 08:51 PM

1993 Suns, 1997 Sonics, 2003 Lakers, 2007 Suns, 2011 Heat (LOL)

More like the Lakers team that continually lost to Boston in the '60s.

No, just no.

Those late 90s Jazz teams were really good. The team was put together superbly featuring two of the games greatest players and some role players who knew they were role players and played within themselves. Then you throw in a completely rabid fan base and a HOF coach. Remember in the Finals when they would always show the decibel level in the Jazz arena? But Michael Jordan didn't get that memo.

Nah, the West was stacked at that time (Kings, Lakers, Mavs, Blazers and Spurs were all excellent for all or part of that run). The Kings should have won in 2002, but the refs screwed them out of a ring. They weren't really that close again, though. They should have been a one-and-done champion.
