Worst teams to make it to NBA Finals?

[Bobbymcgee]

Who do you have as the worst teams ever to make it to the NBA Finals and where do you have these Dallas Mavericks ranked at?

1. Miami Heat 2023
2. Dallas Mavericks 2024
3. ?
4. ?

All that talk about a stacked Western Conference and this is the best they can put up in the finals? A Knicks team with 50% of their roster could have fared better.

[NetsJets]

2023 Heat were worse.

[SuperDeluxe]

Nets 2002.

[JordansBulls]

You think Minnesota would have been better? Dallas may have been worn down for what they had to deal with while Boston had an easy path.

Minny clearly isn't ready.

Those teams the Lakers beat in the early 2000s were easily the worst.

[Yank3525]

The 78 Bullets.

Some recency bias in this thread.

Yet they played Boston tougher than the Mavs did?

[MavsDirk41]

2020 Miami Heat is the weakest finals team that i can remember recently

[RB34]

Imagine a Clippers fan making this thread.

Trying to clown on the Mavs.

Some recency bias in this thread.

lol, just a little bit

[infinite11285]

Nets 2002.

That Nets team would sweep this one.

[Stan]

Lmao, I always cringe when people who clearly don't know even semi-recent NBA history make threads like this.

Bro I've been saying this for two weeks. People acting like Boston ripping through the East was a negative. They came into the finals pamper fresh

[fallguy]

Every Lakers team in history is tied for first.

[FarBeyondDriven]

Only the 2001 Sixers are worse than this Mavs Finals team. This is really bad.
