And, prior to that, they're also probably better than the 09 magic, the 06 Mavs, the 05 Pistons, and all of the losers from 99-03?
Like, they're probably almost exactly the quality of an average finals loser over the last two decades
Comparing a GSW team that loses its best player during the playoffs is obv unfair. And even then they gave TOR a competitive match.
Yeah, they probably are on the low end of the rung for EC finalists, about equal to '06 Mavs. I can't think of a WC finals team they were clearly better than since, what, '91 Lakers?
