Its not only a matter of maintaining a team with a dynamic - but its also having that team be able to adjust to the team changes that happen in the league. Look at the LAKERS - they had the same lineup for their first three championships, but they got complacent and SA rolled them in the Semi's. Changed it up, and they got rolled in the finals. Detroit kept the same team, and got beat in the finals. Having a "winning team" just isnt good enough - because the more you play teams, the smarter the players and the coaches get, and the greater your chances are that another team is going to put together that winning combo that takes you out. The ONLY team this didnt happen to is to the BULLS - and I maintain that they had fucking robots playing on that team.
And - I guess one blowout deserves another. . . beer:
