1) 2006-07 Cleveland Cavaliers

Lineup: LeBron James, Dahntay Jones, Anderson Varejao

Net Rating: 33.7

The aforementioned '07 Cavs also came up short in search of a title. Like the 2012 Spurs, they owned at least two top trios -- this time combining James and the apparently dynamic duo of Jones and Varejao.

The three played in just 10 games together, yet they were better nearly across the board. They took fewer free throws and free throw attempts, but posted 14.8 more field goals and 8.3 threes per 100 possessions. Their effective field goal percentage edged out the competition by 16.2% in 108.7 minutes.
