Heat in 6 against Celtics

Then thankfully Lakers can knock off Spurs in 7

Heat in 6 against Lakers

Shaq averages 30 but LeBron locks up Kobe and basically will own his soul

Kobe goes through his routine 6-24, and LeBron dominates

[Eye Test]

my picks:

Lakers over Spurs in 6

Celtics over Heat in 7



Lakers over Celtics in 5

OT - Jabbar why'd you go with 2010 instead of 2008? Rondo was better, but in 08 they had prime KG still.

heat doesnt get past the celtics, remember bran avoids the finals when kobe is waiting there

10 they had better chemistry/gel, not physically prime but overall a better team

Doesnt that work both ways?

2008-2010 kobe was there but no bran

2007 + 2011-2014 bran was there but not kobe

[Milbuck]

2001 Lakers in 6 over 2014 Spurs
2013 Heat in 7 over 2010 Celtics (2008 Celtics would take it in 6 or 7)

2001 Lakers in 6 over 2013 Heat, Bosh retires

2007 + 2011-2014 bran was there but not kobe

2011-2014 kobe wasn't supossed to be there with those LA teams and pretty much on a decline, bran was pretty much primed and got bounced by orlando to avoid kobe kobe didnt even sweat to destroy orlando

OP, how bout the 08 Celtics instead of 10?

10' celtics were the superior defensive team imo

[Perfect]

How do the 04 pistons fit in this bracket?

[Booz Vivic]

2013 Pacers vs. 2006 Heat

[finchyyy]

2011-2014 kobe wasn't supossed to be there with those LA teams and pretty much on a decline, bran was pretty much primed and got bounced by orlando to avoid kobe kobe didnt even sweat to destroy orlando

So Kobe and the Lakers weren't supposed to be there last year when they acquired Dwight and Nash? Ok then..

[Purch]

10' celtics were the superior defensive team imo

Explain yourself




08 celtics and 04 pistons were the best defensive teams of the 00's IMO
