      @@N8veJay I feel 04/05 Suns were a smidgen better. Similar defensively, but Amare was a bit more unstoppable before the microfracture surgery, and they just had a bit more perimeter firepower to throw at ya, w/ Joe Johnson. Having to be w/o JJ for 1st 2 games vs. Spurs, going up against the league's best defense, was really a huge blow, and those games were super close to the end. I didn't like them trading Casey Jacobsen midseason, when they had the best record.

Russell Westbrook on the other hand was overrated. Brandon Ingrams #s this year was better than Westbrooks numbers when they made the Finals but ppl act like he was the best PG in the NBA/D Rose 2.0.

    In the second round he averaged 30/12 against Dallas, and against San Antonio he averaged 23.2/10.9. He was just terrible from 3 and shooting was a little harder because of how good San Antonio's defence was at that time. They lost because of injuries piling up the further they got.

    Sonics were competing against one of the best or the best team ever. The starting five was Longley (average + center), Harper (capable to score 20), Jordan, Pippen (everyone knows how legendary good they were), Rodman (best rebounder of the Leauge). All of them were also defensive beasts. And they were supported by Tony Kukoc (Best 6th man of the year, would have easy fit in any other teams starting five) and Steve Kerr (3 point champion, record holder). Even though facing these incredibly bad odds they held their ground.
    The 2018 Rockets were a pretty effective team, the best one trying to copy the Golden State "style". CP3-s injury really mattered, but it is also the same with the next year GSW or this years Heat. Unfortunetly injury is a real deal breaker.
    So I would put the Sonics on the first place, Houston 2018 on the second, Penny and Shaq on the third. Penny and Shaq were simply too young at that time. Somewhat like the Heat juniors that year. They managed to deliver a good performance but Hakeem and Clyde Drexler were more experienced.
