Nuggets in 5! That was my original thought. Nuggets finished all series in their conference pretty fast. The expectation was Bucks, Celtics or Sixers playing in the Finals but Heat made one of the biggest surprises in history. They could only win one game though. If other teams had been here we might watch a longer series. That doesn't matter anymore. Nuggets got the well deserved first title.
It's certainly a debatable especially that line where you said that "if other teams had been here, we might watch a longer series" I mean, really? Wasn't it enough that the Miami Heat defeated those favorites that you've mentioned and literally dominated them in almost every game to the point that they almost got swept. They might have been a surprise in the league but they surely deserved to face the Nuggets even though they failed in the last phase.
