Rank the WCF finalists from 2010-2019 

Post#1 » by ropjhk » Fri Jun 26, 2020 6:07 pm

We sometimes rank NBA champions and finalists. I'm curious as to how you people rank the conference finalists. I'm going to do another thread for the Eastern conference. This could be used as a reference for anybody who wants to compare the strength of any given year.

Here's my list:

2017 Warriors - greatest Warriors team in terms of dominance over the league
2018 Warriors - The other greatest Warrirors team. They actually almost lost in the WCF
2016 Warriors - The greatest team to not win an NBA finals
2014 Spurs - Powerhouse Spurs team that took revenge with a beat down on the Lebron led Heat
2018 Rockets - Had they made the NBA finals I think they would have won. Possibly the greatest conference finals loser in recent memory.
2016 Thunder - Almost pulled off one of the biggest upsets ever. Would have set up an epic Durant vs Lebron finals.
2017 Spurs - Great regular season team. Kawhi was a superstar this season. Would have been the best team in the West in a normal year.
2010 Lakers - Weaker than the 2009 Lakers IMO. Great front court plus Kobe.
2013 Spurs - So close to winning the title
2015 Warriors - Great regular season. Somewhat fortunate in the playoffs. The beginning of a new era.
2014 Thunder - May have been able to beat the Heat had they advanced. Durant MVP.
2011 Mavs - Surprise NBA finalist and champ. They were a better postseason team than people thought they would be. In retrospect they were very well built and had great balance.
2019 Warriors - End of an era. Lack of depth + injuries.
2012 Thunder - Full of talent, but not yet ready to dominate. They could have become a dynasty if only they somehow stayed together.
2012 Spurs - Rookie Kawhi was not yet ready to lead this team, but this was the beginning of the San Antonio resurgence.
2015 Rockets - The Dwight Howard era just got worse from here
2011 Thunder - Too young.
2013 Grizzlies - Defensive minded. Gasol DPOY.
2010 Suns - Nash's last stand. I really cheered for this team.
2019 Blazers - Surprised they made it that far. I expected them to lose in the 1st or 2nd round.
