What's the logic there? There seems to be none.

I mean, it's all in context. Pau was great in 2010, but a 7 footer who can't shoot three's would be hard to start in a modern game.
I don't think he starts over Ibaka today...or his brother tbh. Never mind Siakam or Lowry.
I think a prime Pau in 2019 is probably a rich mans Brook Lopez, but yeah that's why it's kinda pointless to compare teams from different eras even if it's only a 9 year difference it's completely different ways to play the sport basically when you look at what both teams valued in their style of play.

Lmao keep telling yourself this rap fans
The sixers were beyond a mess, jimmy butler even said how dysfunctional that Sixers team was. They only got as far as they did by talent alone
And im sorry but I dont see the bucks or giannis as a successful playoff team/playoff performer. If we have a playoffs this year the bucks will show everyone that they are a dominant regular season team but a mediocre playoff team. Giannis will struggle after the 2nd round.

Pound for pound, the 2019 Raps are the best team in any kind of organized sports ever. Our playoff run was the single greatest achievement, not only in sports history, but human history.
A loads of peer reviewed studies and several reputable surveys back up all my claims.

Just because the Raptors beat the Warriors without KD doesn't mean they "cheaped out" on a championship. Warriors with KD were considered one of the most stacked teams of all time and were still actually favoured to win by a majority without him. Yes, Klay got hurt too but the Raptors dominated most of the series with him playing too.
Raptors beat the Sixers and Bucks who most would consider one of the hardest paths to a NBA finals. Do Lebron's titles mean nothing because he was always able to sleep to a Finals appearance year after year? I'd argue that no team in the East had to go through 2 better teams in recent memory.
Raptors lost their best player (Kawhi), who many consider the best player in the NBA, and still have the 3rd best record right now. How many other teams from this list can do that? Either that means Kawhi is overrated or the Raptors cast is underrated. You can pick which one that is...
Stop it, 2 of the top 3 stars were injured for Warriors. Star power is everything. Raptors would have won 1 game at best, if Warriors were not injured and that is generous.
Steph played 24/24 quarters
Draymond played 24/24 quarters
Klay played 19/24 quarters
KD was out.
Are you telling me that the "poor old warriors" that won 73 games needed a fully healthy KD just to beat the trash raptors, who are supposedly one of the worst championship teams of all time?

Mike Conley and Tony Allen were injuried and missed some games in the second round I believe.
Cavs had love and kyrie injuried... and still took them 6 games.
Raptors still beat warriors 2 games with klay playing.
2010 Lakers had tough path to the final itself. That year he 8th seed was the 50 win thunder.
Mavs had the best run off all time.

I can't believe someone insinuated 2010 Pau wouldn't start on the Raps in place of current Ibaka

You're downplaying the "3 point chuckfest" just a little bit, don't you think? It's changed the game dramatically to the point that I'd argue even a Houston team of today would have a shot at beating the Kobe-Pau lakers, certainly the bucks. Now, if the Lakers team was up to date on the evolution of the game and they were shooting 3's at a normal clip in todays game, that's a different story. But statistically speaking a team from a decade ago would struggle heavily in today's NBA climate.
