CLE- LeBron NEVER won a ring,
MIN- Garnett NEVER won a ring,
To add to the list above...



  Very well said .....many great players and teams have not won it all. Do you think that if the NYK next year get to the Finals that they would win it all? I would bet NO based on a coach who has no Defensive philosophy. Unfortunate for Nash and the Suns, that was their fate. Can't outscore everybody. And yes, that team failed due to their coach and his philosophy, not because they can't play the game.

There's a difference of being "in" and winning even though there's no chance that will happen...

  People forget this is a team game and a season is long. Have the best 3 in the NBA does not mean you will win against a TEAM of players. A coaches system, their philosophy, way they deal with players does matter and factors in to a teams success.


  If Brooks had the balls and was not worried about how Westbrook would respond, he would have put a quash to his nonsense during the season and benched him during the game. But he can't totally control what Westbrook will do, he can only persuade, guide, and probably plead with him to play differently. Until he can harness him, that will be the thing that kills OKC. Fortunate for them, they are young and hopefully will learn. That is just my opinion.

Explain how in 93-94, the Bulls won 55 games and lost in 7 games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals WITHOUT Michael Jordan.

It takes alot to be a "good" capper on Covers.

Just surround yourself with "superb" analysis & don't bother to comment with the "unnecessary" ones.

I knew you would get a "GL" in there somehow.

If the Heat had the ZEN MASTER, I'm sure they would run off 4-5 Championships in a row, right

Look at the roster for the 98-99 Lakers that got swept by the Spurs.  Pretty damn good. Del Harris?   Phil shows up the next year and the Lakers win it all.  SAME ROSTER

He must have done something right because none of those superstars won a title without him.

Just to the comment about the 94-95 team to the 95-96 Bulls roster, there wasn't just a one player difference.  Besides Jordan being back for the full season, they had a turnover of 4-5 players between those years.
