2023.05.24 00:40 Hanhonhon Is Pat Riley's legacy being slept on with the future finals amongst modern NBA fans?

One thing that is forgotten in the midst of the Heat making the finals (hasn't happened yet, yada yada whatever the Celtics still aren't coming back so why fret) is that a Pat Riley team will make the finals again. This is the FIFTEENTH time that it's happened (82, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 94, 06, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 23). I do want to get negatives out of the way before haters show up in the comments. Yes he had some all time great teams in the 80s Lakers and Heatles, it was fortunate that Bron/Wade/Bosh all wanted to team up on his team. And yes he's made mistakes managing his players like burning bridges with Wade at the end of his original Heat tenure, or making things sour with Lebron after learning he was leaving. Drafting Michael Beasley at #3 in 09 was also bad. But you can't ignore some remarkable feats in his career:
Am I saying that Pat Riley's legacy isn't solidified or some shit? Nah of course not but I feel like people at least recently are sleeping on the fact that a Pat Riley team is on the final stage again. Red Auerbach is the GOAT executive in my book but I would argue that Pat is #2. Personally if I wanted to have a guy to be a coach or GM to lead a team, it would be Pat over Phil Jackson because of adaptability and making the most out of relatively weaker talent. Phil is the greater coach but Pat is still top 5 in that department and a top 5 GM of all time

2023.04.27 12:18 BeautifulProgrammer7 binar - best of 2013 to 2022 underground junglist mix 260423

https://hearthis.at/binar-ps/binar-best-of-2013-to-2022-underground-junglist-mix-260423/
I made the switch from vinyl to digital ten years ago - back in March 2013 - following a chat with someone working downstairs at Blackmarket records, ironically enough. He said that the number of tunes coming out on vinyl was so small then - that there was way more choice buying digital files - and there were huge savings to be made.
So - following that trip to Soho I bought a Rane SL2 box and some control vinyl - and yes was able to afford way more tunes than before. I wanted to keep the realism of mixing with vinyl - so I set Serato up to play on 'absolute' - as close to the real thing as you can get - the BPM indicator wobbled slightly and I had to get the tracks in sync in my phones first, just like vinyl - but otherwise yeah, that was it, no turning back.
I made my first 'best of year' mix at the end of 2013 - and did a few more up until 2022 - all of those mixes are on my https://hearthis.at/binar-ps/ page, lower down.
To commemorate - here are my pick - a 'best of best of' - from each of those mixes - roughly 12-15 per year. I have bought literally thousands of tunes over the last 10 years - these are the best of the best, to my ears.
To all the artists listed below - thanks for producing such greatness - keep it up.
See you for the next mix - in the meantime please DL and share with your mates - peace x

2023.04.15 18:13 bluecjj NBA/ABA "dynasty" Rankings, Part 4 (Dynasties)

Full Series:
The grand finale is here. We've covered the could've beens, and the teams in the mushy middle between bridesmaid and dynasty. However, ten teams have achieved true Dynasty status; which I define as having won three championships or more in six seasons or fewer.
Sometimes, this standard for a Dynasty can encounter stress tests. For example, the Pittsburgh Penguins won three Stanley Cups in nine seasons, so they would get denied the Dynasty title despite a pretty impressive run of success in the post-lockout era, including but not limited to those three Cups. On the other side of the coin, the San Francisco Giants won three World Series in five years, but their degree of success in surrounding seasons was so sparse that calling them a true Dynasty can feel weird.
However, I don't get a similar feeling when I look at basketball runs of excellence. All ten of the true Dynasties on this list belong, in my opinion; a Bill Simmons-type will exclude several of them, but only by applying a very strict standard. And when we look at the Dynastenders, it's hard to count any of them as Dynasties, as none had three titles to their name. The closest you would probably get would be the Heatles (the #1 Dynastender) or the Bad Boy Pistons (#6), but in both cases I think the consensus would be that calling them a proper dynasty is a stretch.

10. Indiana Pacers, 1969-1975

Head Coach: Slick Leonard
Key Players: Roger Brow, Mel Daniels, George McGinnis, Freddie Lewis, Bob Netolicky, Billy Knight
Dynasty Rankings: 9th in Seasons (7), 10th in Points (19.28), 10th in adjusted Championships (1.79), 10th in adjusted Finals appearances (2.97), 10th in win% (.601), 9th in playoff win% (.598), 10th in adjusted Net Rating (+2.4), 10th in Top 5 aNR (+3.0)
Total z-score: -0.48
Seeing “Pacers” and “dynasty” in the same sentence might be jarring, given that Indiana has zero NBA titles to their name. They do, however, have three ABA titles, which is what earns them a spot on this list.
You could dispute whether to include the ABA, but once I made that decision, it's clear that the Pacers are a Dynasty. They won three titles in four years, and added two additional Finals appearances to boot.
While that’s a clear dynasty, though, there’s a few marks against them which bury them well below the rest of the Dynasties I’m ranking, even though my system includes no penalty for being an ABA team. Indiana often spent too long dispatching teams for my system (and it’s playoff win % element)’s liking, including combining for only an 18-17 playoff record during their two Finals losses. Their regular seasons included only two seasons which would give them dynasty points in their own right (‘70 and ‘71), and none which meet the 60-win pace requirement for the top “tier” in my system. In addition, the ABA only had 10-11 teams during this Dynasty, which means every championship and finals appearance is discounted accordingly (they each count about 60% of a corresponding season in the 30-team era).
The Pacers are the clear odd-man out in this Dynasty club; if we bunched up Dynasties, Dynastenders and Bridesmaids into one list, Indiana would rank 36th. However, the nine teams we’re about to cover need no arbitrary “dividers” to set themselves apart. These nine teams are the top nine on the overall list as well, followed by the Heatles, ‘70s Bucks and Dr. J Sixers at 10th-12th, and the Bridesmaid Jazz at 13. Truly, we’re entering the area where the best of the best reside.

9. Minneapolis Lakers, 1949-1954

Head Coach: John Kundla
Key Players: George Mikan, Vern Mikkelsen, Jim Pollard, Slater Martin
Dynasty Rankings: 10th in Seasons (6), 9th in Points (27.22), 7th in adjusted Championships (3.09), 9th in adjusted Finals appearances (3.09), 7th in win% (.676), 1st in playoff win% (.716), 4th in adjusted Net Rating (+5.6), 8th in Top 5 aNR (+6.1)
Total z-score: 0.53
If you've seen somebody mock what the NBA looked like in the '60s, there's a chance that they're actually talking about the very beginning of the NBA, which is what these Lakers occupy.
Nevertheless, it was never a guarantee that one team would dominate early on, and Mikan and co.'s dominance is very impressive indeed. Averaging a .716 win percentage across six playoff runs is absurd. For reference, the Bucks are going to finish with the best record in the NBA this season with about the same record. And these Lakers did that in the playoffs, and over six separate playoff runs at that.
Even when you include adjustments for the number of teams in the league, Minneapolis' five titles get reduced to three, still a dynasty-caliber number. If the Mikan Lakers wanted to challenge the teams above, they'd have to be more dominant in the regular season, or last longer and win even more championships. But as it is, my system still considers their run to be more impressive than any Dynastender (including the Heatles, Bad Boys, Dirks, etc.)

8. Los Angeles Lakers, 1995-2004

Head Coach: Del Harris, Phil Jackson
Key Players: Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, Eddie Jones, Robert Horry, Nick Van Exel, Elden Campbell, Vlade Divac, Cedric Ceballos, Glen Rice, Gary Payton
Dynasty Rankings: 6th-7th in Seasons (10), 7th in Points (35), 8th in adjusted Championships (2.95), 8th in adjusted Finals appearances (3.93), 6th in win% (.680), 8th in playoff win% (.618), 8th in adjusted Net Rating (+4.7), 7th in Top 5 aNR (+6.6)
Total z-score: 0.63
The 1994-95 Lakers were an unimpressive team who allowed more points than they scored, but they pulled out a first round series against the playoff-challenged SuperSonics, and earned a dynasty point in so doing. The '96 team was better in the regular season, earning point number two.
However, that's of course not what you went to this entry for. Shaquille O'Neal joined the team the next season, and he along with the developing Kobe Bryant would vault this team into Dynastic territory. After a playoff funk that lasted for a few years, the team eventually won three straight titles, something only three other teams on this list can boast, and looked like they'd win a fourth before getting upset by the (#5 Dynastender) Pistons. Then Shaq left, and began a run of mediocrity well long enough to cut this run off from the Pau Gasol era we discussed on the Dynastender list.
Of this threepeat, it's notorious that 2002 is a footnote title (perhaps the largest footnote in NBA history), due to the incredibly favorable officiating that the Lakers received in a must-win Game 6 of the conference finals. The Lakers won by four points (ahead by one before the Kings were forced to foul), and Roland Beech’s analysis concludes that the Lakers gained 6 net points’ worth of expected value due to incorrect or doubtful officiating decisions, and that's without accounting for the considerable foul trouble implications of said decisions. Portland fans may argue that 2000 belongs in a similar conversation, what with a huge free-throw disparity at the end of that WCF Game 7. Of course, there are counterarguments, like that free-throw disparities don't tell the whole story, or that the refs went Sacramento's way in Game 5, or that some might not believe in putting footnotes on championships at all. However, you can't honestly look at this Lakers run without thinking about what happened with the Kings series, especially if you're in Sacramento.
The one title you can’t argue, though, is 2001, where Shaqobe and co. famously kicked an unfathomable amount of ass in the playoffs. They never lost a postseason game in regulation, something no other team in NBA history can boast, and their average point differential of +12.75 in the second season is better than any team’s total in the first.
A major factor hurting this Dynasty is that it isn’t attached to the later Lakers era from ‘08 to ‘12. The reason is that in the three years from ‘05 to ‘07, the Lakers missed the playoffs once and lost in the first round twice. They also didn’t have a 50-win season in that span, actually finishing with a total record under .500. That, plus the common-sense angle that Shaq left to coincide with all of this, is a pretty clear argument for why this chapter ended in 2004, despite Kobe’s (and Phil Jackson’s) presence in a later one.

7. Golden State Warriors, 2013-present

Head Coach: Mark Jackson, Steve Kerr
Key Players: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Kevin Durant, David Lee
Dynasty Rankings: 6th-7th in Seasons (10), 8th in Points (31), 5th-6th in adjusted Championships (4), 4th in adjusted Finals appearances (6), 8th in win% (.665), 2nd in playoff win% (.699), 6th in adjusted Net Rating (+4.9), 3rd in Top 5 aNR (+8.8)
Total z-score: 0.92
After the previous two Laker dynasties comes our next tier, in which the NBA’s reigning Dynasty finds itself. The Warriors, particularly in their Finals streak, dazzlingly dominated in shooting efficiency. And unlike their predecessors in the Seven Seconds or Less Suns who did similarly, Golden State supplemented this with solid defensive performances.
The story of this Dynasty, in many ways, is a story of footnotes; largely absence-related ones, some of which have helped the Warriors, some of which have hurt them. Many would criticize my references to footnotes in this series, and say you should just take every result at face value; but with the Warriors, you almost can’t avoid these elephants in the room. Let's talk about them one by one.

6. Boston Celtics, 1980-1988

Head Coach: Bill Fitch, K.C. Jones
Key Players: Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Cedric Maxwell, Danny Ainge, Dennis Johnson, Tiny Archibald
Dynasty Rankings: 8th in Seasons (9), 6th in Points (38.91), 9th in adjusted Championships (2.63), 7th in adjusted Finals appearances (4.38), 1st in win% (.745), 7th in playoff win% (.619), 2nd in adjusted Net Rating (+6.5), 5th in Top 5 aNR (+7.05)
Total z-score: 1.01
Some people would dispute that Larry Bird's Celtics are a Dynasty, and to be honest, for a time I agreed with them. It does feel a little weird to have two coincidental Dynasties (although, as we'll get to later, that's inevitable), and I originally planned on leaving these guys out (either because I planned for "3 in 5" rather than "3 in 6" to be the standard, or because I didn't have a set standard, I forget). However, had I done that, looking over these numbers it wouldn't feel right. The '80s Celtics would be far and away the greatest Dynastender of all time; the difference between them and the Heatles would be, by my system, roughly equivalent to the difference between the Heat and LeBron's second Cleveland stint, which isn't even in the top 10 of Dynastenders. To paraphrase Sesame Street, one of those teams would not have been like the others. One of those teams wouldn't have belonged.
Instead, Bird and co. belong squarely among the true Dynasties in NBA history, in large part due to their ludicrous domination of the regular season. In the nine seasons of this run, the Celtics won 60 games six times, led the league in net rating five times, and never finished below 3rd in net rating or with fewer than 56 wins. Fans might care more or less about regular season numbers after the fact, but they represent how good a team was on a day-to-day level. If you were following the NBA in the '80s, there's a strong chance you were watching the Celtics win any given game, or that you were impressed at their place in the standings when perusing the newspaper.
And while these Celtics "only" won three championships, they certainly had additional opportunities. They outscored the Sixers in the '82 conference finals, but lost in seven. The disparity was caused in large part by the Mother’s Day Massacre in which Boston took Game 1 in a blowout. Boston also lost the '85 Finals after a more famous blowout Game 1 win, although the Lakers also made that deficit up in the aggregate tally.
In all, the Celtics were an incredible regular-season team, but they didn't last quite long enough, or win quite enough championships to crack what ends up being a rather distinct top five.

5. LeBron and Friends, 2006-2020(?)

Head Coach: Mike Brown, Erik Spoelstra, David Blatt, Tyronn Lue, Luke Walton, Frank Vogel
Key Players: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Kevin Love, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Tristan Thompson, Anderson Varejao, Kyrie Irving, Mo Williams, Anthony Davis
Dynasty Rankings: 2nd in Seasons (15), 3rd in Points (57), 5th-6th in adjusted Championships (4), 1st in adjusted Finals appearances (10), 9th in win% (.662), 5th in playoff win% (.662), 9th in adjusted Net Rating (+4.4), 4th in Top 5 aNR (+7.5)
Total z-score: 1.59
Decades ago, sports players fought for their rights to choose the organization that employs them, just like workers in any other profession. Much to the chagrin of some, LeBron James has used this right on multiple occasions, and has had the power to instantly transform teams into top championship contenders. This has led me to consider LeBron's career as a Dynasty ('12, '13 and '16 satisfies the "3 in 6" condition) alongside franchise-based ones.
We've basically talked about this Dynasty already, but piecemeal. It started in 2006, when LeBron's Cavaliers won 50 games and a playoff round, beginning the #11 Bridesmaid in this series. Then came the Decision and the #1 Dynastender in the Heatles. Then came LeBron's homecoming and the formation of yet another Dynastender in Cleveland. The one chapter of this Dynasty that hasn't independently qualified for the list is James’ stint in Los Angeles, where the ‘20 championship has no other qualifying season surrounding it (yet).
And when the LeBron dynasty is stacked up with the rest, it comes out very impressively indeed. 10 Finals appearances in the 30-team era is absolutely ridiculous; I don't care how weak the East used to be. We'll probably never see a player do that again in our lifetimes, short of a radical format change that would create more than one season per year. The juxtaposition between LeBron's nearly identical regular- and post- season win percentages in this run are illuminating, as his teams (particularly in his second Cleveland run) often stayed under the radar in the RS only to slam their feet on the gas in the second season.
The gap between number 5 all the way up to number three is extremely close, so all three of these next entries are basically interchangeable. LeBron ends up at #5, but he easily could've ended up at #3 with slightly different methodological decisions.
After a disappointing '21 and a terrible '22, it sure looked as if this LeBron dynasty was going to be slammed shut, and that 2020 would be its fairytale (or mickey mouse, depending on your perspective) ending. But we never saw LeBron or the dynasty die on screen, now did we? And indeed, the Lakers have closed out the regular season in impressive fashion, and appear to have about as strong of a chance as anybody in a messy Western Conference. If the Lakers make it back to the Finals in '23, LeBron's Dynasty will live on. If not, it will finally be over, but what a run it will have been.

4. Los Angeles Lakers, 1979-1991

Head Coach: Jerry West, Paul Westhead, Pat Riley, Mike Dunleavy
Key Players: Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Byron Scott, Jamaal Wilkes, Michael Cooper, A.C. Green, Norm Nixon, Vlade Divac, Sam Perkins
Dynasty Rankings: 3rd-4th in Seasons (13), 4th in Points (54.08), 4th in adjusted Championships (4.36), 2nd in adjusted Finals appearances (7.97), 2nd in win% (.712), 4th in playoff win% (.667), 5th in adjusted Net Rating (+5.3), 6th in Top 5 aNR (+7.0)
Total z-score: 1.60
When Kevin Pelton did an interview about his own dynasty-ranking system, it was observed that the Showtime Lakers stay weirdly under the radar when talking about Dynasties, in that their incredibly impressive accomplishments aren't highlighted very much. And that's a shame, because this era of Laker basketball was impressive indeed.
The Lakers dominated the western conference for a whole decade; bracketing aside the hanger-on ‘79 season which barely qualified, this team never fell below 54 wins during their run, made a remarkable nine Finals appearances in 12 tries, and were the West’s #1 seed nine consecutive times. The statistical profile of this run is very well-rounded; this is one of two Dynasties on the list which is top-six in every category of my system. This run has longevity, lasting from just after the merger to the dawn of the Bulls’ dynasty, and completely enveloping their rival Celtics’ Dynasty to boot. This run has regular-season success, with the aforementioned run of 1-seeds, as well as a four-year stay in the 60-win club. And this run had postseason success, scoring well among Dynasties for both championships, playoff win percentage, and (especially) Finals appearances.
It's possible that this team could've kept winning even more, and secured distance between themselves and this 3-5 pack on the list, if Magic didn't retire when he did.

3. Boston Celtics, 1957-1969

Head Coach: Red Auerbach, Bill Russell
Key Players: Bill Russell, Sam Jones, Tom Heinsohn, John Havlicek, Bob Cousy, Bill Sharman, Tom Sanders, Bailey Howell, Frank Ramsay, Don Nelson
Dynasty Rankings: 3rd-4th in Seasons (13), 2nd in Points (59.36), 1st in adjusted Championships (6.12), 3rd in adjusted Finals appearances (6.64), 4th in win% (.705), 6th in playoff win% (.647), 7th in adjusted Net Rating (+4.8), 9th in Top 5 aNR (+5.8)
Total z-score: 1.60
These lads won eight effing titles in a row. That’s a pretty incredible feat, and something that’s generally the first thing mentioned (or close) when discussing this dynasty.
Yes, it’s true that there were 8-9 teams in the league during the streak, but that doesn’t make an eight-peat some sort of trivial task. To compare across sports: for 60 seasons, MLB only had eight teams per league, and nobody won eight straight pennants (the Yankees’ five straight from 1949 to ‘53 is the longest streak). For 26 seasons, the NHL had six franchises, and three of them barely counted as real teams. Once again, the longest Stanley Cup streak was five (Montreal from 1956 to ‘60). There's no iron law of sports that says if there's eight teams in a league, you're going to have eight-peats all over the place.
On the other hand, Nate Silver makes a decent point that if you separated the current NBA into 10-team “leagues”, you’d also have seen some gaudy numbers (like the Showtime Lakers also winning eight straight titles). As someone who’s ranking the Celtics here, I’m not too threatened by this exercise, as the other teams putting up ridiculous numbers of hypothetical championships are mostly in this top-five tier (the Showtime Lakers, the Spurs, LeBron).
As a side note, that Silver article might have helped inspire my “adjusted championships” metric. I take a middle approach between flatly dividing titles based on the number of teams (what Nate does at another point in the article) vs. counting every title equally, by taking the square root of 30 divided by teams in the league, and dividing by that. It brings the Russell Celtics to just over 6 championships, which I think makes some intuitive sense; giving them credit for only 3.4 championships feels a little low based on the nature of their accomplishment.
Another point that Silver makes, and that also works against the Celtics' ranking, is that their domination of the field sometimes left some to be desired. That feels silly to say given all of their championships, but there were lots of Game 7s they had to play, which ends up dropping them to #6 in the playoff win percentage leaderboard for Dynasties. Compare to the Mikan Lakers from before, who often dispatched opponents with little pushback, while the Celtics sometimes had to sweat it out until Havlicek stole the ball. Boston's relatively weak top-5 aNR also reflects a lack of truly rarified individual seasons. Unlike a Warriors or Bulls dynasty who put up all-time great regular seasons on multiple occasions, the Russell Celtics’ highest aNR was +6.25 (in ‘62), which is lower than the average numbers for the Bulls and the Bird Celtics. The Celtics didn’t win by sheer dominance, as much as by an incredible ability to pull out close and crucial games.

2. Chicago Bulls, 1988-1998

Head Coach: Doug Collins, Phil Jackson
Key Players: Michaeljordanscottiepippendennisrodmantonikucoc, Horace Grant, Steve Kerr, B.J. Armstrong, John Paxson, Ron Harper
Dynasty Rankings: 5th in Seasons (11), 5th in Points (51), 2nd in adjusted Championships (5.8), 6th in adjusted Finals appearances (5.8), 3rd in win% (.712), 3rd in playoff win% (.693), 1st in adjusted Net Rating (+6.9), 1st in Top 5 aNR (+10.5)
Total z-score: 1.79
These Bulls need no introduction; they're the most fabled team in NBA history. Numerous moments of theirs (and of Michael Jordan’s) are iconic, from The Shot early in the dynasty to The Last Shot to finish it off. Their six championships are the constant measuring stick against which all successful players and teams are measured in the modern era. The reverence that Jordan and this team receives feels like it can border on idolatry at times; that Jordan, especially, is almost different in kind from any other superstar in NBA history, and it's never appropriate to compare anyone to him.
But while the degree of hype might occasionally go overboard, the all-time great reputation of the Bulls is definitely not unearned. Chicago averaged nearly a 60-win pace over these eleven seasons, and won a round in all of them. They were even able to survive very impressively when Jordan missed most of two regular seasons due to his retirement.
Net rating is a particular testament to Chicago’s greatness. It’s well-documented how dominant the Bulls were in all measures during their second threepeat, where ‘96 and ‘97 remain the top-2 net rating teams in NBA history. The first threepeat wasn’t too shabby either, with ‘92 ranking 6th all time, and ‘91 coming in at #18. This is a nice feather in their cap when I have a category for the top-5 seasons a dynasty recorded in (schedule-adjusted) net rating; if the average of the Bulls’ top 5 seasons were its own separate season, it would rank 7th all-time, above the 73-win Warriors season.
Their championships are also mostly footnote proof, although you can talk about possible missed foul calls on The Last Shot or the Smith play if you want.
Given all of this, the Bulls would likely be the majority pick for #1, and you may well be surprised that they didn’t land there. As we’ll later explore, this is less of a no-confidence vote for the Bulls as it is a confidence vote for the team above them.

1.San Antonio Spurs, 1993-2017

Head Coach: John Lucas, Bob Hill, Gregg Popovich
Key Players: Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard, Avery Johnson, Sean Elliott, Vinny Del Negro, Bruce Bowen, Danny Green, LaMarcus Aldridge, Dennis Rodman, Dale Ellis, Tiago Splitter, Derek Anderson, Rasho Nesterovic
Dynasty Rankings: 1st in Seasons (25), 1st in Points (76), 3rd in adjusted Championships (4.97), 5th in adjusted Finals appearances (5.97), 5th in win% (.688), 10th in playoff win% (.598), 3rd in adjusted Net Rating (+6.2), 2nd in Top 5 aNR (+9.2)
Total z-score: 2.28
Were the Spurs a dynasty? Before we answer that question, let me tell a story.
One night, near the lead-up to the 1990-91 NBA season, a couple in Compton were spending a night together.
These Laker fans (I think?) were enjoying the twilight of the Showtime Dynasty; and if they were thinking about potential obstacles their favorite team would face, one of them would be newcomers from San Antonio. The Spurs won 56 games the previous year, and narrowly lost to Portland in round 2. That’s 2 dynasty points, their first qualifying season since ‘83. The next three seasons saw 55 wins and a first round loss (1 point); 47 wins and a first round loss (-2 points); and 49 wins and a second-round loss (1 point). Based on the rules I established for this series, this ended their ‘90-91 run, as there’s a three-year stretch (‘91-93) with a negative season, and the other two seasons insufficient to make up for it. However, one could easily consider the Spurs’ run as ongoing at this point, starting from ‘90, depending on the ruleset one chooses.
After that ‘93 season, the Spurs barely ever looked back. That was the start of four straight qualifying seasons, including a 62-win ‘95 and a 59-win ‘96. A single year was spent in the basement, resulting in the acquisition of Tim Duncan, and the Spurs picked right back up. A 56-win ‘98 was the start of TWENTY straight seasons with a 50-win pace.
Over the next 6-7 seasons, Duncan and co. competed toe-to-toe with the Shaqobe Lakers at the top of the league. The Spurs and Lakers would win three apiece of the next seven titles, and the playoff series score was 3-2 for the Lakers (the two most remembered series seem to be ‘01 and ‘04, both Laker wins, but the Spurs do have ‘99 and ‘03 to their name).
Some people might say that SAS’ 1999 title deserves a footnote, because a lockout shortened the regular season. Those people are wrong, as the most impressive part of the Spurs’ season was the 15-1 playoff run that followed the 50-game regular season; which, while shorter than a normal season, should still be plenty of time to prepare for the playoffs. And besides, even nitpicking that regular season gets a little ridiculous when you think about the fact that they would replicate it eighteen more consecutive times. A better argument for a footnote is 2003, where San Antonio got help getting through the WCF via a Dirk Nowitzki injury (and potentially a prior Chris Weber injury, from Dallas’ side of the bracket).
While Shaqobe went their separate ways, the Spurs kept going. A 63-win ‘06 ended in a crushing 7-game loss to Dallas, but ‘07 ended with a championship, after an impressive playoff run where Round 2 (against Phoenix) was the only competitive (and admittedly, footnote-y) series. '07 is when Dynasty status was finally reached, as '03, '05 and '07 were three championships over five years.
After five more ho-hum seasons (where the Spurs “only” averaged 54 wins, third in the league, and made two conference finals, and won five playoff series, 5th-7th in the league), their new rival became the Heat. They won 58 games in ‘13, and came extremely close to beating the #1 Dynastender, but blew a late lead in Game 6 and lost Game 7 by 7. After a 62-win campaign the next season, they avenged this lost in resounding fashion, winning in five and outscoring Miami by fourteen points per game. It’s the worst playoff loss LeBron had ever suffered to that point; with the possible exception, of course, of what the Spurs had done to his Cavs team seven years prior.
Now, why did I mention that couple from Compton at the very top? What relevance do they have? Well, the product of the couple, Kawhi Leonard, was all grown up by this time, and earned the Finals MVP in the 2014 series. He would serve as the cornerstone of the team for three more qualifying seasons, but the playoff results weren’t there, and his rule-changing injury ended up spelling the end of San Antonio’s long run.
That, my friends, is the definition of a dynasty.
In non-sports terms, the term “dynasty” designates a family of rulers which transcends generations; families that can stay in power while entire lifetimes are lived, where nobody remembers a time when they were not around. The Spurs fit that mold more than any other team in NBA history.
The Spurs' run entirely encapsulates that of the the Shaq and LeBron Heat, the Shaq and Gasol Lakers, the Hakeem Rockets and the Durant/Westbrook Thunder. If you include partial overlaps, the Dynasty connects with more than half of the runs covered in this series; four other Dynasties, nine Dynastenders, and thirteen Bridesmaids, ranging from the Jordan Bulls all the way to the current Celtics.
The Spurs’ season-length of their run is the single biggest statistical outlier (4.44 standard deviations above the mean of all the teams on the three lists) out of any of the 8 metrics I used to compile these rankings. The second-biggest outlier is the Spurs’ own point total (3.63), and the third-biggest is LeBron’s Finals appearances (3.44).
If we’re comparing dynasty lengths across sports, then the Spurs have the Cowboys (1966-85) and the Patriots (2001-19) beat. They also barely eke it out over the Yankees’ run from 1920-43. The one MLB team that might top the Spurs is the Yankees from 1994 to the present, if you count their 2015 wild-card loss as a “playoff berth”. It’s worth noting, though, that Bill James’ original standards for baseball dynasties was looser than mine for basketball ones. The Yankees had a four-year run (‘13 to ‘16) with three negative seasons and their one WC loss; that’s a pretty lame way of extending a dynasty, although by James’ standards, it’s possible that it did the trick. I have preliminary NHL results from a similar system that I could compare the Spurs to, but I don't want to spoil those.
Given how ridiculously long the Spurs' Dynasty is, you would think they would flunk every rate statistic in my system. Given how great the aforementioned teams were, surely it would be impossible to sustain as good of a performance as them over 25 seasons… right?
Well, not necessarily. The Spurs are indeed last among Dynasties in playoff win percentage. That's their "weak link", if a near-60 percent win rate over 24 playoff runs can be considered a weakness. However, their regular season win percentage is greater than that of the Dynasties of the Shaqobe Lakers or Curry Warriors, and their average adjusted Net Rating is only worse than the Jordan Bulls and Bird Celtics. This is over twenty-five flipping years we're talking about, ladies and gents.
Most people don't think of the Spurs as the greatest Dynasty of all time, if they even think of them as a Dynasty at all. I think the fact that they "only" have five titles plays into it; if 2013, or 2006, or 2004 had gone differently, and Duncan were tied with Jordan in the ring rankings, maybe people would take these guys more seriously. Personally, I wasn't expecting the Spurs to come out on top as I was crunching these numbers. But the sheer quantity of success San Antonio enjoyed makes me inclined to agree that they are, indeed, the #1 Dynasty in basketball history.

2023.04.10 20:20 RecordReviewer [OC] Defense Wins Championships

Using a simple 3 step method, we are going to cross of teams that don't have a good enough defense to win a title this year. Buckle up because I'm not including a TL;DR.
 
Step 1: Must be top 12 in DRtg
 
Since the merger, here is where every championship team ranked in DRtg in the regular season:
Season Champion DRtg Rank
2021-22 Golden State Warriors 1
2020-21 Milwaukee Bucks 10
2019-20 Los Angeles Lakers 3
2018-19 Toronto Raptors 5
2017-18 Golden State Warriors 11
2016-17 Golden State Warriors 2
2015-16 Cleveland Cavaliers 10
2014-15 Golden State Warriors 1
2013-14 San Antonio Spurs 3
2012-13 Miami Heat 9
2011-12 Miami Heat 4
2010-11 Dallas Mavericks 8
2009-10 Los Angeles Lakers 4
2008-09 Los Angeles Lakers 6
2007-08 Boston Celtics 1
2006-07 San Antonio Spurs 2
2005-06 Miami Heat 9
2004-05 San Antonio Spurs 1
2003-04 Detroit Pistons 2
2002-03 San Antonio Spurs 3
2001-02 Los Angeles Lakers 7
2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers 21
1999-00 Los Angeles Lakers 1
1998-99 San Antonio Spurs 1
1997-98 Chicago Bulls 3
1996-97 Chicago Bulls 4
1995-96 Chicago Bulls 1
1994-95 Houston Rockets 12
1993-94 Houston Rockets 2
1992-93 Chicago Bulls 7
1991-92 Chicago Bulls 4
1990-91 Chicago Bulls 7
1989-90 Detroit Pistons 2
1988-89 Detroit Pistons 3
1987-88 Los Angeles Lakers 9
1986-87 Los Angeles Lakers 7
1985-86 Boston Celtics 1
1984-85 Los Angeles Lakers 7
1983-84 Boston Celtics 3
1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers 5
1981-82 Los Angeles Lakers 10
1980-81 Boston Celtics 4
1979-80 Los Angeles Lakers 9
1978-79 Seattle SuperSonics 1
1977-78 Washington Bullets 9
1976-77 Portland Trail Blazers 5
 
Only once (2001 Lakers) has a team won a title without a top 12 regular season defense. So let's go ahead and cross off any team that doesn't have a top 12 defense:
Brooklyn Nets
Oklahoma City Thunder
Denver Nuggets
Golden State Warriors*
Los Angeles Clippers
New York Knicks
Atlanta Hawks
Sacramento Kings
 
Step 2: Must be top 5 in DRtg or have great defensive/championship pedigree
 
Probably could have skipped step 1 and gone straight to step 2, but I wanted to go ahead and knock-off some teams. So using the above chart, here is the additional context for everyone of the title teams that finished 6th or worse in DRtg:
 
'78 Bullets-
Had Bob Dandridge and Elvin Hayes, who were both great defenders. In the previous 3 seasons to the title team, they were 8th, 2nd, and 1st in defensive rating.
'80, '82, '85, '87, '88 Lakers-
Across these 5 titles, they had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jamaal Wilkes, A.C. Green, and Michael Cooper who were all elite defenders at some point on these championship teams. They also had arguably the greatest offensive maestro the sport of basketball has ever seen running their offense, so if any team gets a pass on defense it's the Showtime Lakers.
'91 and '93 Bulls-
These teams had Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan. That's all you need to know.
'95 Rockets-
The Rockets were defending champs, and were 2nd in defensive rating the prior season. Oh, and they also had a top 5 defender in league history with Hakeem Olajuwon defending the paint in an era where defensive big men were arguably most valuable.
'01 and '02 Lakers-
The Lakers were the best defensive team in the league in the 1999-00 season in the regular season and the playoffs. In the latter 2 championships of their three-peat, Shaq simply didn't care to try on the defensive end (if he played at all in the regular season). They had the defensive pedigree with Kobe, Shaq, it was just a matter of being properly motivated.
'06 Heat-
Probably the least proven team on this list, but they still had a young Wade, with Shaq, Gary Payton, and Alonzo Mourning combining for great defensive stretches in the playoffs when they needed it.
'09 Lakers-
The Lakers with 5th in defensive rating the prior season, and 4th the season after. They were still an elite defense this year with Kobe and Gasol, but just slipped slightly during the regular season.
'11 Mavs-
Tyson Chandler was 3rd in DPOY voting this year, but won it the next year on the Knicks. Chandler and Rick Carlisle were able to construct and execute elite defenses for the entire playoff run (especially in the Finals). Along with the '06 Heat, they are probably the biggest exception to the "defense wins championships" rule when looking at the team's defensive pedigree.
'13 Heat/'16 Cavs-
I'm combining these two teams because of LeBron. During both of these title seasons In 2016, LeBron was fully in the 'coast on defense' mode during the regular season, but was a 1-5 defender in the playoffs when it counted. For the 2013 Heat, they were 4th in DRtg the previous year and won a title with elite defense. LeBron was 2nd in DPOY in 2013, and the rest of the team just dipped a little in the regular season on defense.
'18 Warriors-
In the previous 3 seasons, the Warriors were 2nd, 5th, and 1st defensively (and had carried that defense to multiple titles already). Draymond was still the best perimeteswiss army knife defender in the league, and completely changed their defense in the playoff when he needed to do so.
'21 Bucks-
The Bucks had the best defense in the league each of the prior two seasons. Giannis was still a top 3 defender in the league, along with Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez being all-defense caliber players.
 
This is the most subjective step, but I'm crossing off these teams that don't have a top 5 defense and I don't think have the defensive/championship pedigree to win a title this year:
New Orleans Pelicans
Minnesota Timberwolves
Toronto Raptors
 
Step 3: Must have 1 All-NBA level defender
 
Since the merger, here is every team to win a title without an All-NBA defender that season and my attempt at identifying their best defender that year:
Year Champion Best Defender
2016 Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron James
2006 Miami Heat Alonzo Mourning
1995 Houston Rockets Hakeem Olajuwon
1981 Boston Celtics Robert Parish
1978 Washington Bullets Elvin Hayes
1975 Golden State Warriors Jamaal Wilkes
 
You'll notice that even these 6 teams had at least one superb defender with all of these players except for Parish having been an all-NBA defender at some point in their career. If you count the Rockets and Heat as having an all-NBA defender when they won the title (both had top 10 defenders that season at a stacked position), then 47 out of the past 51 champions (92%) have had an all-NBA defender on their team. Also, LeBron looked to be a DPOY candidate in the Finals when it matters, so like with most of these lists, he's an exception.
 
So let's cross off any remaining teams that likely won't have a player named All-Defense this year:
Phoenix Suns
Chicago Bulls
 
So that leaves the following teams* that have a defense capable of winning a title this year:
Cleveland Cavaliers
Memphis Grizzlies
Boston Celtics
Milwaukee Bucks
Miami Heat
Philadelphia 76ers
Los Angeles Lakers
 
*I'm not uncrossing the Warriors from step 1, but I'm not not doing it either. Add them here at the end if you want.

2023.04.10 20:11 RecordReviewer [OC] Defense Wins Championships

Using a simple 3 step method, we are going to cross of teams that don't have a good enough defense to win a title this year. Buckle up because I'm not including a TL;DR.
 
Step 1: Must be top 12 in DRtg
 
Since the merger, here is where every championship team ranked in DRtg in the regular season:
Season Champion DRtg Rank
2021-22 Golden State Warriors 1
2020-21 Milwaukee Bucks 10
2019-20 Los Angeles Lakers 3
2018-19 Toronto Raptors 5
2017-18 Golden State Warriors 11
2016-17 Golden State Warriors 2
2015-16 Cleveland Cavaliers 10
2014-15 Golden State Warriors 1
2013-14 San Antonio Spurs 3
2012-13 Miami Heat 9
2011-12 Miami Heat 4
2010-11 Dallas Mavericks 8
2009-10 Los Angeles Lakers 4
2008-09 Los Angeles Lakers 6
2007-08 Boston Celtics 1
2006-07 San Antonio Spurs 2
2005-06 Miami Heat 9
2004-05 San Antonio Spurs 1
2003-04 Detroit Pistons 2
2002-03 San Antonio Spurs 3
2001-02 Los Angeles Lakers 7
2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers 21
1999-00 Los Angeles Lakers 1
1998-99 San Antonio Spurs 1
1997-98 Chicago Bulls 3
1996-97 Chicago Bulls 4
1995-96 Chicago Bulls 1
1994-95 Houston Rockets 12
1993-94 Houston Rockets 2
1992-93 Chicago Bulls 7
1991-92 Chicago Bulls 4
1990-91 Chicago Bulls 7
1989-90 Detroit Pistons 2
1988-89 Detroit Pistons 3
1987-88 Los Angeles Lakers 9
1986-87 Los Angeles Lakers 7
1985-86 Boston Celtics 1
1984-85 Los Angeles Lakers 7
1983-84 Boston Celtics 3
1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers 5
1981-82 Los Angeles Lakers 10
1980-81 Boston Celtics 4
1979-80 Los Angeles Lakers 9
1978-79 Seattle SuperSonics 1
1977-78 Washington Bullets 9
1976-77 Portland Trail Blazers 5
 
Only once (2001 Lakers) has a team won a title without a top 12 regular season defense. So let's go ahead and cross off any team that doesn't have a top 12 defense:
Brooklyn Nets
Oklahoma City Thunder
Denver Nuggets
Golden State Warriors*
Los Angeles Clippers
New York Knicks
Atlanta Hawks
Sacramento Kings
 
Step 2: Must be top 5 in DRtg or have great defensive/championship pedigree
 
Probably could have skipped step 1 and gone straight to step 2, but I wanted to go ahead and knock-off some teams. So using the above chart, here is the additional context for everyone of the title teams that finished 6th or worse in DRtg:
 
'78 Bullets-
Had Bob Dandridge and Elvin Hayes, who were both great defenders. In the previous 3 seasons to the title team, they were 8th, 2nd, and 1st in defensive rating.
'80, '82, '85, '87, '88 Lakers-
Across these 5 titles, they had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jamaal Wilkes, A.C. Green, and Michael Cooper who were all elite defenders at some point on these championship teams. They also had arguably the greatest offensive maestro the sport of basketball has ever seen running their offense, so if any team gets a pass on defense it's the Showtime Lakers.
'91 and '93 Bulls-
These teams had Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan. That's all you need to know.
'95 Rockets-
The Rockets were defending champs, and were 2nd in defensive rating the prior season. Oh, and they also had a top 5 defender in league history with Hakeem Olajuwon defending the paint in an era where defensive big men were arguably most valuable.
'01 and '02 Lakers-
The Lakers were the best defensive team in the league in the 1999-00 season in the regular season and the playoffs. In the latter 2 championships of their three-peat, Shaq simply didn't care to try on the defensive end (if he played at all in the regular season). They had the defensive pedigree with Kobe, Shaq, it was just a matter of being properly motivated.
'06 Heat-
Probably the least proven team on this list, but they still had a young Wade, with Shaq, Gary Payton, and Alonzo Mourning combining for great defensive stretches in the playoffs when they needed it.
'09 Lakers-
The Lakers with 5th in defensive rating the prior season, and 4th the season after. They were still an elite defense this year with Kobe and Gasol, but just slipped slightly during the regular season.
'11 Mavs-
Tyson Chandler was 3rd in DPOY voting this year, but won it the next year on the Knicks. Chandler and Rick Carlisle were able to construct and execute elite defenses for the entire playoff run (especially in the Finals). Along with the '06 Heat, they are probably the biggest exception to the "defense wins championships" rule when looking at the team's defensive pedigree.
'13 Heat/'16 Cavs-
I'm combining these two teams because of LeBron. During both of these title seasons In 2016, LeBron was fully in the 'coast on defense' mode during the regular season, but was a 1-5 defender in the playoffs when it counted. For the 2013 Heat, they were 4th in DRtg the previous year and won a title with elite defense. LeBron was 2nd in DPOY in 2013, and the rest of the team just dipped a little in the regular season on defense.
'18 Warriors-
In the previous 3 seasons, the Warriors were 2nd, 5th, and 1st defensively (and had carried that defense to multiple titles already). Draymond was still the best perimeteswiss army knife defender in the league, and completely changed their defense in the playoff when he needed to do so.
'21 Bucks-
The Bucks had the best defense in the league each of the prior two seasons. Giannis was still a top 3 defender in the league, along with Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez being all-defense caliber players.
 
This is the most subjective step, but I'm crossing off these teams that don't have a top 5 defense and I don't think have the defensive/championship pedigree to win a title this year:
New Orleans Pelicans
Minnesota Timberwolves
Toronto Raptors
 
Step 3: Must have 1 All-NBA level defender
 
Since the merger, here is every team to win a title without an All-NBA defender that season and my attempt at identifying their best defender that year:
Year Champion Best Defender
2016 Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron James
2006 Miami Heat Alonzo Mourning
1995 Houston Rockets Hakeem Olajuwon
1981 Boston Celtics Robert Parish
1978 Washington Bullets Elvin Hayes
1975 Golden State Warriors Jamaal Wilkes
 
You'll notice that even these 6 teams had at least one superb defender with all of these players except for Parish having been an all-NBA defender at some point in their career. If you count the Rockets and Heat as having an all-NBA defender when they won the title (both had top 10 defenders that season at a stacked position), then 47 out of the past 51 champions (92%) have had an all-NBA defender on their team. Also, LeBron looked to be a DPOY candidate in the Finals when it matters, so like with most of these lists, he's an exception.
 
So let's cross off any remaining teams that likely won't have a player named All-Defense this year:
Phoenix Suns
Chicago Bulls
 
So that leaves the following teams* that have a defense capable of winning a title this year:
Cleveland Cavaliers
Memphis Grizzlies
Boston Celtics
Milwaukee Bucks
Miami Heat
Philadelphia 76ers
Los Angeles Lakers

I skim the trades, so you don’t have to.
◊‘Yellowjackets’ Creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson Get Real on Season 2 Pressure, Showtime Tumult and Spinoffs: “We Have a Couple of Ideas”
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/yellowjackets-creators-season-2-pressure-spinoffs-ideas-1235353297/
‘Yellowjackets’ Bosses Weigh In on Premiere Shocker and Look Ahead to Season 2 and Beyond
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/yellowjackets-season-2-premiere-shauna-ear-scene-showrunners-interview-1235359538/
My two-cent takeaway: Lyle and Nickerson are perfect examples of Hollywood outsiders who moved to LA and achieved what many of us want. Study their method to increase your chances at success.
—————————————————
◊‘Westworld’ Showrunner Lisa Joy on How A.I. is Turning the Sci-Fi Show Into “a Documentary”
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/westworld-lisa-joy-ai-series-mania-1235358250/
My two-cent takeaway: I can’t help wondering if her interpretation of ‘Westworld’ as “a documentary” might have be part of the eventual failure of the series. As much as I love the idea, not being primed as a doc would confuse viewers. I especially agree with her theory that content never dies. Write what works for you, that’s what’s important.
—————————————————
◊GLAAD: Racial Diversity Up Among LGBTQ Characters on TV; Overall Representation Drops
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/lgbtq-characters-on-tv-glaad-report-1235356812/
My two-cent takeaway: The pendulum swings in mysterious ways.
—————————————————
◊‘Swarm’ Boss Janine Nabers Peels Back the Layers of True Crime-Inspired Series and Its Antihero
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/swarm-dominique-fishback-casting-janine-nabers-interview-amazon-1235356424/
My two-cent takeaway: Interesting look at understanding
—————————————————
◊Cheech and Chong Biopic in the Works With Hidden Pictures
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/cheech-and-chong-biopic-in-the-works-1235357760/
My two-cent takeaway: What’s not to love? I’m afraid the biopic won’t be as light-hearted and “innocent” as their movies, which seemed so risqué as a student when they came out, but are really just great for a good laugh.
—————————————————
◊James Patterson Sets First-Look Deal at Skydance TV
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/james-patterson-skydance-tv-first-look-deal-1235357555/
My two-cent takeaway: Reading Patterson, for me, is like watching a popcorn movie, so there’s no reason not to expect the same. Viewing that’s great when you just want to relax. If you’re a Patterson fan, it’s time to sharpen your pencils.
—————————————————
◊Netflix’s ‘Gears of War’ Movie Enlists ‘Dune’ Writer Jon Spaihts

◊Gladiators Are Back: Hollywood Readies 3 Rival Projects
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/gladiator-trend-spartacus-those-about-to-die-1235357596/
My two-cent takeaway: Wah, wah, wah! Time to put your pencils down...
—————————————————
◊David Lowery’s Pop Epic ‘Mother Mary’ for A24
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/anne-hathaway-michaela-coel-david-lowerys-mother-mary-1235357541/
My two-cent takeaway: After the success of Everything Everywhere All At Once, A24 can continue to lead the way in less conventional fare, which is badly needed.
—————————————————
◊Ronan Bennett to write and Shown ‘Day of the Jackal’ TV Adaptation for Sky, Peacock
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/eddie-redmayne-day-of-the-jackal-tv-sky-peacock-1235357464/
My two-cent takeaway: I really feel like you can’t lose with Jackal. The premise is tight and action-packed and the “remakes” (including the lesser-known ‘The Assignment’ that was released in the same year as Willis’s Jackal, and bombed) are exciting to watch and were the spy-action thrillers that were taken over by the beloved Mission: Impossible franchise.
—————————————————
◊BAFTA TV Awards: ‘This is Going to Hurt,’ ‘The Responder’ Lead Pack of Nominees
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bafta-tv-awards-nominations-2023-1235357562/
My two-cent takeaway: Check out the writing categories. Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with any of them.
—————————————————
◊‘Star Wars’: Steven Knight Steps in to Write New Movie Following Damon Lindelof Departure
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/star-wars-steven-knight-write-movie-damon-lindelof-1235253364/
My two-cent takeaway: Lindelof would have brought an interesting perspective and Knight is extremely talented, but I really wonder if either of them is the right fit for Star Wars.
—————————————————
◊Aaron Sorkin Reveals He Had a Stroke Last November: “A Loud Wake-Up Call”
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/aaron-sorkin-stroke-recovery-1235358353/
My two-cent takeaway: Sitting is the new smoking. Don’t take your health for granted.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/aaron-sorkin-ai-technology-writing-screenplay-the-west-wing-1235359398/
My two-cent takeaway: Of course, AI is the new plague writers don’t need right now, with its mealy-mouthed awkward writing.
