3) 2011-12 San Antonio Spurs

Lineup: Boris Diaw, Danny Green, Tony Parker

Net Rating: 31.5

Diaw again? Of their three lineups from the 2012 postseason, he's the only common denominator. It's safe to say he was the cornerstone of the Spurs' playoff successes.

With Parker at the point and Green on the wing, San Antonio had two capable playmakers and one sniper on the outside. Accordingly, in tandem, these guys took a 15.1% edge in effective field goal rate -- including 10.5% from three -- in a whopping 642 possessions. Which only leads us to wonder how those Spurs didn't make the Finals!
