Name a Team of the Decade.  I post a running count here after 7 seasons of the 2010s.   Here is the methodology:</p>
<p>10 points goes to the year's Champions, 6 points to the runnerup, 3 points to the losers of the Semifinals, and 1 point to all teams that make the playoffs but lose in the first or second round.</p>
<p>The point totals that you see a cumulative for all years of the decade. </p>
<p>Here is the current standings:</p>

<p><span style="color:#800000">No, sorry, they have won just one title this decade and one runnerup.   The Heat won twice and were runnerup twice. My Team of the Decade list is not subjective, it is objective based purely on how a team's actual performance in the playoffs,  not on how good you think they are or how much you like them.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#800000">As for the Spurs, they may not be finished....but neither are the Cavs, Warriors, Thunder if Durant stays there.</span></p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/612008</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/612008</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Gipper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 23 Jun 2016 14:40:53 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to The NBA team of the Decade on Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:45:43 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/clevfan4life" aria-label="Profile: clevfan4life">@<bdi>clevfan4life</bdi></a> <a href="/post/611872">said</a>:</p><p>Team of the decade still goes to the spurs.
