2016 Cleveland Cavaliers vs 1996 Seattle Supersonics

[Lebron23]

Who wins in a best of 7 series? LeBron, Irving and Love vs Kemp, Payton, Shremp.

[warriorfan]

Gary Payton tells Lebron he ****ed his mom and shoves him out of bounds. Lebron gets Payton suspended and wins in 7.

[72-10]

actually the 96 Sonics had five guys they could rely on any given night, including two all-world, so they blew through the West (though not like the 98 Jazz blew through the 98 West)

and the 2016 Cavs have the three OP named plus an excellent offensive rebounder in Tristan Thompson, including an all-world Kyrie Irving come Finals time

so I'd say the 96 Sonics

I really dont know how reliable sam perkins is. Nice 5th guy but about it. relying on shawn kemp and gary payton as your top 2 is a lot different than lebron and kyrie. People always love to emphasize having guys who can get buckets in the playoffs, how the hell does seattle compare to cle there.

[72-10]

yeah I admit 96 Perkins was a pretty weak version of him, it's like as though it was by design that it's sandwiched between his prime and another awesome Perkins who could step out and pop the three

[SpaceJam2]

The most dynamic scorer in NBA history (LeBron) paired with a solid #2 option under LeBron Ball (Kyrie) against a 6'2 guy and a black Blake Griffin?

:yaohappy:

Cavs in 5

Warriors in 2016 would beat any team in NBA history at the time except for LeBron Cavs. It took a player to lead all players in all categories to beat the 73 win Warriors. It took a player to literally notch the greatest 3-game stretch in Finals history to win the series (Games 5, 6, 7 highest 3-game Finals Game Score stretch in Finals history)...

KD put up 30 and 7 and Russ put up 27-11-7-4 in the '16 WCF and LOST to the 73-win Warriors :lol

Sonics in 4. Sonics swept Hakeem that year and Lebron couldn't even beat Dwight Howard. http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=459570

I think Hawk guarded Jordan like 4 games and GP guarded Jordan about 2, and they switched off on him a lot

Hedo in that series > Luka right now....Was mismatch teams.If the magic would of kept Jameer out in the Finals, they would of beat the Lakers in 5


There was no shame in LeBron losing to that team

The team that beat a 73-win team > The team that lost to a 72-win team

Basic maths

Yeah it was a shame. He lost to a team that had a career loser at the helm in Dwight Howard. http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=459570
