The end of a run from two dominant franchises who OWNED THE WEST for 7 years or so on end, comes to and end I hated LA no doubt, but the run the two teams had trading titles out West was just crazy, the domination between the two teams was fun to watch.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. I feel like the NBA is trying to phase out what made basketball great in the Bulls-Spurs-Lakers Era (96-05). That's probably not even right, it just feels like that.

Even weirder, if Miami wins against Detroit consider this: Since the 1978-79 season - through the year 2004-05, there will be no: LA Lakers (8-3) Boston Celtics (3-2) Philadelphia 76ers (1-1) Detroit Pistons (3-1) Chicago Bulls (6-0) Houston Rockets (2-2) San Antonio Spurs (3-0) 26 seasons, just 7 different franchises, 35 appearances out of a possible 52. Of course, this is really not too different from the first 26 seasons of NBA ball: 1947-1972 Philadelphia Warriors (Golden State Warriors) 2-3 Baltimore Bullets (defunct) 1-0 Minneapolis Lakers (LA Lakers) 6-8 Rochester Royals (Sacramento Kings) 1-0 Syracuse Nationals (Philadelphia 76ers) 2-2 Boston Celtics 11-1 St. Louis Hawks (Atlanta Hawks) 1-3 New York Knicks 1-4 Milwaukee Bucks 1-0 Again, 26 seasons, 9 different franchises, 21 out of 52 possible appearances. Granted, there were fewer around teams at that time, but it's similar and still noteworthy.
