You’re comparing the caliber of teams when the question was who had a tougher road.

Dallas clearly didn’t have a tougher road. The swept the Lakers and went 5 with the Thunder. Every series the rockets played up until the finals were close calls.

1st round against the jazz went the distance
2nd round against the suns went the distance
Conf Finals against the spurs went 6 games

Like I said in my first post: They never had home court at any point in the playoffs. They had to avoid elimination not once or twice, but 3 times on the road. If you throw in game 6 of the suns series and game 4 of the jazz series, the rockets went 5-0 in elimination games in the 95 playoffs.

Dallas didn’t face elimination at any point during their title run.

I think your getting impressed by who they beat versus how difficult it was beating said team.

You asked which was tougher.

Rockets had 2 series that went to a final game.

The Mavs didn't go past a 6th game in any series and almost had a sweep in 2 series.

I’m taking everything into consideration. I don’t think going the distance is the only factor that determines tougher road. Quality of opponents counts too.

Heat team wasn’t a champion yet how can you give them credit for beating a champion?

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

What? Lol

LMAO

Thor logic: The Mavs run was tougher cuz Miami EVENTUAL won a championship.

 

[Sony Montana]

That heat team the mavs played was not the team that won championship though

niggas had ilguaskas, Eddie house, Carlos arroyo, Mike Bibby, Jamal magloire and Erick Dampier on it

all ass

They was the same team.

I know you love your rockets but Beating Kobe, LBJ, Wade is much more difficult

True so let’s compare.

The rockets beat the 1, 2, and 3 seeds in the west and beat the 1 seed in the East.

The Mavericks beat the 6 seed, 2 seeded Lakers, the thunder were a 4 seed, and Miami was a 2 seed.

That’s when regular season basketball meant more though

Players really do be coasting now till the playoffs start
