2) 2011-12 San Antonio Spurs

Lineup: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Boris Diaw, Tim Duncan

Net Rating: 31.9

Now this lineup draws a definitive line in the sand between the top two playoff lineups and the rest we've highlighted. And they do so in true Spurs fashion -- with 4.8 more three-point makes and 17.0 more overall makes per 100 possessions up against their opponents.

Despite a six-point deficit in made free throws, this Spurs lineup led the way to an appearance in the Western Conference Finals. There, this unit was finally outdone by the superior individual talent of Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
