My favorite team was the Lebron years. They were a championship team in both 2015 and 2016. Had they won in 2015, it's unlikely KD would have gone to GSW in 2016. In 2018, they were completely unpredictable because Lebron was having a season for the ages.If results conflict with the narrative there will always be people who argue the narrative is correct and the results are wrong.
Occasionally that is the right way to look at it (like the idiot who I saw double down on a 12 and won was still an idiot) but when you get good results consistently then just maybe the narrative is off.
I saw that in Corporate Life for decades. If actual results fall short of the budget it’s always a performance issue and never an unrealistic budget. Because people are NEVER unrealistic with their expectations.
As far as this season is concerned I challenge anyone to name a team that’s been more fun to follow. We’ve had a ton of exciting wins against really good teams, we’ve played well through adversity, we got Gobert to foul out, we kicked Draymond in the nuts one game and got him tossed the other, Strus went nuts, Wade went nuts, CPJ rammed a bucket down Embiid’s throat in overtime, Garland is killing it with threes since the break, Donovan evolved into a floor general, Niang is fucking hilarious, I could go on but it‘s been a blast. We’re moving, we’re shooting, we’re playing D, we’re killing it on the road and we’ve proved we can give the best teams a game.
Every game was interesting. You never knew when you'd see something you'd never seen before. Kyrie, Lebron and Love were all great.
The Miracle in Richfield team was also great. They were never out of a game. They only won 49, but they were hot and might have beaten the Celtics had Chones not gotten injured. They had great shooting and great defense and rebounding, and great ball control. Very few turnovers.
But I think I like our current team over the Miracle in Richfield team. We have even more shooting, and almost as good defense and almost as good rebounding. Very entertaining and we never give up.
