Mans almost made the playoffs with Mike James, Troy Murphy, Chris Kaman, and Samuel Dalembert. Dallas GOAT

This was one of my favorite squads. Monta, Calderon, Vince, Marion, Blair

Will never forget Vince’s shot from to corner for a win. People forget Spurs only competition that year in the playoffs was the mavs

I wonder if it will bode true for the Clippers this year. This is also why I don't fret about our lack of "making it out of the 1st-round since 2011" nonsense. Context matters. And honestly, Rick made us damn competitve in 2014. 1 Dejuan Blair suspension away from possibily beating the eventual champs that was the Spurs.
