2013-2014 Miami Heat. While Wade returned to form but Lebron teamed up w/ a better forward and joined Irving right when he was entering superstar status w/ many years left w/ still plenty of upside. Also both can shoot the 3 which opens up space for Lebron to create.

Love certainly isn't responsible for Minnesota never achieving that. Minnesota was actually among the highest scoring teams in the league and they play in the West. So many good teams for so long.

The same conference that saw this -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007%E2%80%9308_NBA_season How many west playoff teams won 50 games? 8 of them. The year after that, the 7 and 8 seeds finished w/ 49, 48 wins. The year after that all 8 seeds again won 50 games. #8 was OKlahoma City that season.

Irving arrived to a team in shambles. Experience matters but the best teams almost always win in the NBA and they are there talent wise, especially w/ Love's unique skillset.

I think it automatically makes them best in the East considering Indiana lost their 2 best players. A healthy Rose combined w/ the addition of Gasol could make Chicago an elite team. After that, Washington is a distant 3rd IMO.
