Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 2495291, member: 767"] The finals competition wasn't great for sure, but the west was loaded. In 2001, for instance, the Lakers played a 50 win Blazer team in the first round that had Rasheed Wallace, Scottie Pippen, Damon Stoudemire, Steve Smith, Arvydas Sabonis, etc. They swept them, winning by an average of 15 per game. In round 2, they played a 55 win King team. They swept them, "only" winning by about 10 points per game. In the conf finals, they played a 58 win Spurs team, coached by one of the greatest coaches of all time, and with 2 of the greatest players of all time. They swept them, winning by more than 20 points per game. [/QUOTE]
