Makes you realize just how epic those matchups were.

Also jumped out: the 2, 3, 5, and 6 year best spans for the Suns revolve around the 1993 season, but the 4 year best span is the 2005-08 stretch. Also, how the Suns have never really had a low stretch, and yet, no rings.

Sigh.

Of course, neither have the Raptors, Bobcats, or Grizzlies, but at least they have the "semi-recent expansion" excuse. The Clippers have been an NBA franchise since 1971.
