Actually I knew it would be one or the other of these two teams. It simply depends on which team can impose it's will on the other.

There were no other NBA teams that had any real chance of a title, it's been true for 3 1/2 decades. It's why the NBA is my least favorite of the four major team sports.

Yeah, an overhaul is in order. The contrast in quality between the east/west is horrible.

What do you mean true for 3 1/2 decades? You used to see the occasional team make it, 76'ers, OKC recently, detroit pistons etc. It really only seems dire the last couple years IMO

And lose.

Since 1980 there have been 19 teams that have won the World Series, 17 different Super Bowl champions, 16 different Stanley Cup winners and only 9 teams have won an NBA championship. Of those 9 teams, two have only one (Philly in '83 and Dallas in '11), then there's the two titles in Houston while Jordan was playing minor league baseball, leaving Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, Bulls, Spurs and Heat with all the rest of the titles.

This trend is guaranteed to continue in '14
