According to SRS the 2018 Raptors were better than the KD,Curry Warriors

SRS is an irrelevant stat

Those are regular season SRS numbers. Warriors really weren't very good in the regular season. Smart people will know when to have reservations about a stat but that doesn't make it useless.

This is not how to use SRS. It is only a forward looking statistic. It wasn't made to describe the past.

OP is on a big time losing streak these days. He needs a break from posting.

Just to throw another dart at your weak balloon argument...Using SRS in this way is highly retarded. Even beyond normal 3ball levels of retardation.


Why? Because higher seeded teams usually face lower seeded teams and thus lower SRS #s. Punishing a higher seed for being forced to play a lower SRS = low IQ

Also, as Manny suggest, SRS does not always used as a primary indicator of good and bad teams. Using SRS as a sole indicator of a great or bad team = low IQ

Be better. Take a break OP you've been on a long desperate losing streak lately. You're getting undressed in this thread.

Jordan had top seeds in every championship run, so your SRS theory benefits MJ (top seeds face lower SRS teams, yet MJ still had tougher SRS runs than lebron)

Remember, the 89' Cavs > any team lebron beat in the East

The 89' bulls would've won the 11-18' East and 07' or 09'

2019 raptors are at 17, so right between 93 bulls and 2010 Lakers.

All of Kareem's rings in 80s seemed incredibly easily. He got injured and lost finals MVP in his only superstar 80s year (1980). The rest of the 80s he just had an incredibly stacked advantage like Durant/Curry warriors. Kareem's playmaking was also the worst for an all time great, he always need one player to triple his assists to win rings or two players to double his assists to win rings (look it up).

Yes Kareem was birdfed by magic, but magic NEEDED to feed guys because his own scoring wasn't that great.. so they both had holes in their game and therefore needed each other.

same with lebron... Lebron averages a lot of points but he can't score anytime he wants - he can't take contested jumpers (avoids them) and mostly needs long dribble forays to score... So his sub-par jumpshooting and the extra time needed for ball-dominance prevent him from scoring anytime he wants, therefore requiring great possession "closers" or "finishers" like Kareem, AD or MJ

Ultimately, Kareem and Magic can't both be top 5 because they were only 5-4 in the Finals including a couple asterisk Finals.. so one of them must be bumped down, and I choose magic, since his ball-dominance hurts brand and team ceiling/Finals record just like Lebron
