You brought up 2003 when the Spurs had the greatest PF off all time, an aging HoF and two young future HoF. You can bring that up but I can't bring up 2014?
I strongly disagree with your assessment of the Lakers roster. They didn't have a perfect mesh of talent. They had two superstars that could have carried almost any decently put together roster to multiple titles.
Team offense isn't determined by two players. The Bulls were still a really good offensive team when Jordan left in 94. You seem to be confusing good offensive duos with good offensive teams.
03 is considered one of the worst supporting casts of all time. 2014 is not. the point was to discuss that teams with weak supporting casks were able to win at that time. Instead you bring in one of the deepest nba teams in the history of the game.
And now you're telling me the bulls in 94 that had a below average offense (league offensive rating was 106.3 and the bulls rating was 106.1) was a really good offense.
But yeah, tell me more about scoring and not offense.
Then go with the 2011 Mavs which is recent NBA and post superteams. And to answer a previous question, I think the teams the 11 Mavericks beat are better than any set of teams the Warriors have ever faced. They beat the Lakers with Kobe/Pau. The Thunder with Durant/WB/Harden. And then the Heat with LeBron/Wade/Bosh.
And the Bulls offense was actually 106.85 in 94 but I was looking at the 95 season which is my bad.
But my other points still stand. You can't define how good an offensive duo is based solely or mostly on how the team performed offensively. And It makes no sense when one duo had a significantly better roster than the other.
It was 106.1....no clue where you're getting that number, but non the less it wasn't a good offense.
If the BEST offensive duo EVER with a roster of shooters around them can't crack +6 offensive rating over the league average, they're not the best offensive due ever. It would be one thing if the team had absolutely nothing around the two players though even then...the two best offensive guys ever would still likely be able to do something like that. but by no means were the lakers lacking offensive talent around them.
