I knew that when the sportscasters and sports talk radio guys were hyping this series to go 7 games AGAIN, that the series wouldn't be as entertaining. Too bad to Heat came out on the short end. They just got beat by a deeper team. Kawhi Leonard is a baller. I'm not a Spurs fan at all but that guy has a bright future ahead of him.
Where are all the dudes that were saying before the series that Kawhi wasn't that good. I really feel bad for the Pacers they traded pretty much Kawhi for George Hill. I'm a Heat fan I'm sure Pat Riley will reload. Chalmers has to go. Wade needs to come off the bench. They need better role players since Battier is retiring and I think Ray Allen might retire also.
The two previous teams to go four straight NBA finals were:
LA Lakers (1982-1985) Coach: Pat Riley Notable Players: Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, James Worthy
82 Won NBA Title
83 Lost to 76ers
84 Lost to Celtics
85 Won NBA Title
Boston Celtics (1984-1987) Notable Players: Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish
84 Won NBA Title
85 Lost to Lakers
86 Won NBA Title
87 Lost to Lakers
Miami Heat (2011-2014) Notable Players: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen
11 Lost to Mavericks
12 Won NBA Title
13 Won NBA Title
14 Lost to Spurs
There's some hall of famers mentioned there in the Lakers/Celtics team. Going to 4 straight finals is a big accomplishment. Of course I would have loved for the Heat to win all 4 trips but even some of the all time greats in the history of basketball never accomplished that feat.
