So the Champion isn't always the best team? Interesting.

This is all subjective, it's nothing that I can prove. The argument that they are one of the last 4 teams left so that makes them a top 4 team argument is beyond flawed though is what I'm saying.Automatik;1730367 wrote:You have brought nothing to this "argument."
But hey.... if you come across with enough conviction and repeat the same thing over and over, we'll eventually see that you're right.

Rockets won the division that the spurs were in....had all season to prove they were better than the rockets...except they couldn't Cuz they weren't better.robj55;1730368 wrote:Not in all cases no. You don't play everyone, it's about match ups. No doubt in my mind that the Spurs would have beat the Rockets easily and they aren't one of the last 4 remaining.

You're the coolest, anyone who knows basketball knows that the Spurs would beat down the Rockets, sorry you don't agree with me that must mean I'm wrong.Automatik;1730369 wrote:No doubt in his mind folks!

It doesn't when they also have the 3rd best record in the league.robj55;1730371 wrote:This is all subjective, it's nothing that I can prove. The argument that they are one of the last 4 teams left so that makes them a top 4 team argument is beyond flawed though is what I'm saying.

Everyone quit wasting your time. This is what it's like arguing with Rob. Never mind who actually won the games/series; they didn't pass his eye test.

Rockets are top 4.
Harden is top 26.
Not hard boys.

In the NCAA, I'd say more often than not the best team doesn't win it all.
When you're arguing a 7-game series, it's much tougher to justify someone winning the series not being the best.

All I was trying to say(in my opinion) is that they are the worst of the 4 remaining teams and that I believe there are also teams that have been eliminated that are better than them, Spurs, Grizzlies, Bulls. I would put them around 7 or so, but they are one of the 4 left so props to them.

Like in 2011, most people thought and agreed that the Buckeyes were the best team in the country, and Brandon Knight beat them on a last second shot.Azubuike24;1730386 wrote:In the NCAA, I'd say more often than not the best team doesn't win it all.

Glad someone brought up the 2011 UConn title already as proof of this statement. I never understood why people think the NCAA tournament or any tournament crowns the best team. Often it probably does work out that way, but there are cases where it doesn't. However, as previously mentioned as well a series tournament does tend to be a better indicator than a single elimination.Azubuike24;1730386 wrote:In the NCAA, I'd say more often than not the best team doesn't win it all.

It's too bad the Clippers had to suck it up because they'd be a better match up for the Warriors. Rockets aren't that good.
