Look at the teams that made the playoffs in the East.
The west had a 50 win team barely get in.
How many 50 win teams in the East?

I doubt the celts are contenders next year let alone 5 years from now.

CHUCK COME ON...they are contenders... they have 2 of the top 10 players in the game, 1 of the best shooters, and they will reload the bench i could see a 3 in a row,

Ray Allen... injury prone
Paul Pierce tougher but gets hurt.
Garnett the toughest guy. But had a significant. ab injury.
Lucky it did not happen before the playoffs and they were
so far ahead he got all the time to heal he needed.

In the finals they had them healthy for the most part.
It takes a bit of luck, especially with older players.
Garnett is a young man, but not in basketball years.

three best players are approaching mid 30's and were all injured at one time last year. The chances are that trend will get worse not better. take one of those guys away and they will be hard pressed to get back to the championship.

And they dont have 2 of top 10 players in the game.

The lakers wont be a factor in 5 years either. The cycle in the NBA is about 3 years now.

HOw did you calculate that?
The Spurs have had a cycle a lot longer than that.
And I think they are contenders again next year.

Spurs obviously are the exception to the rule. look at who they beat in the years they won?

The beat the champions of the East. Badly.
Except Detroit which they merely beat.
In fact they have never lost a finals.
In fact in all the years they have won
they cleaned out the West and then the Eastern champion.


Actually the clear reason they dont cycle is Duncan.
And some very good drafting to fit around him.

If a Duncan was available this year with David Robinson-like player
coming back, I would guess that team would have a chance.

What i meant is that they always beat a different team. Det, NY, Cleve,
hard to stay good because of the cap. you need young, upcoming guys but as soon as they get the big contract, you cant afford them anymore.
