The best "regular seasons teams" of all time (good regular season, fraud in playoffs)

[3ba11]

1) 2009 Cavs
2) 2007 Mavs
3) 2010 Cavs
4) 2016 Warriors
5) 2006 Suns
6) 1994 Bulls


Anyone else?

[AirBonner]

So is boobie Gibson better than Pippen?

[SouBeachTalents]

None of Jordan's teams without Pippen

[1987_Lakers]

The fact that you have the 2006 Suns on your list makes it invalid. Reached the WCF without Amare, how are they frauds?

[RRR3]

LeBron>>>>Kobe

And without Joe Johnson, who they traded for Boris Diaw. Diaw was a complete bust in Atlanta playing pg so the Suns made him a center lol to replace Amare.

2012 spurs with kawhit

And no mention of about three 1 seeds that lost in the first round of course. You have 94 Sonics, 99 Heat, the Spurs who lost to Memphis, and some injured ones not worth counting. Obviously bigger playoff flops than most of those. Only 1 of the list didn’t win a playoff series….or two.

The agenda is strong with this one.

So I see that the phrase "of all time" means "when LeBron started playing and 1994."

[HBK_Kliq_2]

2016 spurs because Duncan's a grandpa bitch who averaged 4 points.

Also 2016 warriors

Kawhi was the 4th best player in the Thunder series

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Kawhi was the 4th best player in the Thunder series

Oh yeah the playoffs when Kawhi led the entire league in BPM and Duncan averaged 4PPG, i remember that.

So the team that won the title was a fraud in the playoffs?

:roll:

Being taken to 7 by reggie miller is fairly questionable to me. Like, the warriors are frauds for losing in 7 to lebron james and kyrie irving, but this isn't?

A team that just won it's second 3 peat isn't playoff fraud dumbass.

The Pacers 3 victories were by a combined 7 points.

[Reggie43]

Honorary mention: 1998 bulls with 62 wins and #1 srs who got taken to 7 by reggie miller

Bulls won just 4 more games than the 58 win Pacers and their regular season series was 2-2. What did you expect to happen?

[ShawkFactory]

1) 2009 Cavs
2) 2007 Mavs
3) 2010 Cavs
4) 2016 Warriors
5) 2006 Suns
6) 1994 Bulls

You should have changed things up a little bit so as not to look so blatantly like you’re trolling.

He made you try to dox him and his family on Christmas Day. Pretty sure that means you got trolled pretty hard.

2007 mavs and mid 2000s suns

[dankok8]

2006 Suns listed as frauds in the playoffs is laughable. They won 54 games to begin with, not exactly dominant and proceeded to reach the WCF.

The entire list is laughable. Half of these teams aren't even legitimate frauds. And there are far more deserving teams than the 2009 Cavaliers, and we all know the reason OP put that team at number 1...

[ShawkFactory]

In all seriousness though, the 09 Cavs WERE frauds. Lebron absolutely carried them to 66 wins but looking at that team...there’s no way they actually should have been titles contenders and it was clear that they wouldn’t actually beat a good team in a seven game series

If you win 66 games, you are a legitimate title contender. Of course when you look at the roster, it's hard to imagine them being title contenders, but you have to take into account how well all the pieces fit together and their roles on the team. They were an excellent defensive team. Mo Williams was about as perfect of a second option as you could get for LeBron at the time since he knew how to run the offense but that wasn't even his greatest attribute. He could score from anywhere on the floor and was a terrific catch and shoot player. LeBron LOVED having someone like that. Mo's best years of his career were those two years with LeBron and there's a reason for that.

I would say the 2010 Cavaliers were bigger frauds if anything. They were a stacked team on paper and had a 61 win season but only one all star. Their second best player on the team was Jaminson and he got his shit wrecked by Kevin Garnett on both ends of the floor. Shaq was seen as the answer to Dwight and he barely made much of a difference in the games they played against each other (even though he did put up a good fight in their first meeting). They were supposed to be this deep team with all kinds of weapons and when it came to the Celtics, they had basically nothing apart from LeBron (except for Mo who actually got Cleveland back into the first game 1 to help them win and had a great first half performance in game 6 to keep it close). All of those things that make the 2009 Cavaliers a 66 win team were still there against Orlando. Two of the games Orlando won were by a margin of 1 and 2 points respectively, and as I said before, Mo Williams playing to his typical standards would have resulted in an easy Cavaliers win in 5 or 6.

So I see that the phrase "of all time" means "when LeBron started playing and 1994."

Pretty much. I notice he didn't put the 2016 Spurs on that list. That team won 67 games and lost in the second round. The '86 Lakers won 62 games and lost to a 51 win Rockets team in the WCF.

I'm not sure why the '94 Bulls are on that list (actually I am sure). But no one expected that team to do that well and they certainly weren't frauds in the playoffs.

[HoopsNY]

Being taken to 7 by reggie miller is fairly questionable to me. Like, the warriors are frauds for losing in 7 to lebron james and kyrie irving, but this isn't?

The 2000 Pacers took an all-time great Lakers team with peak Shaq and a 34 year old Reggie to 6 games. The reality is that that Pacers team was stellar but didn't have a top 20 player to put them over the top.
