Over the last several years, how many truely competitive finals have their been?
2023 : The Heat were no match for Denver, especially given Denver's non-difficult path to the finals
2022 : The Celts were a beaten up mess when they got to GSW, especially given GSW's non-difficult path to the finals
2021 : Pretty good .... what with Giannis overcoming injuries to dominate a good-not-great Phoenix.
2020 : The bubble Lakers. Need one say more?
2019 : Raptors, against a GSW riddled with injuries
2018 : GSW swept, with Lebron giving up. A Cavs team that could have lost to young Celtics if Shane Larkin or Daniel Theis were uninjured!
2017 : GSW 16-1 in the post season. Did it matter who GSW played
2016 : Cavs finally winning, against a GSW dynasty team.
So 2021 and 2016?
Risking the wrath of the fates: 2024 might be one of the best of recent years.
