Above is the table of the combined playoff losses of NBA conference champs since the NBA’s playoff expansion in 1984.
A closer look at the table according to Russ Loede:
Of the Finals match-ups that had less losses than Miami-Dallas, the Eastern Conference team won the championship in all but one series (1999, New York-San Antonio).
Of the five series, one had a sweep, two went five games, and the other two went six.
Take away what you want from Deron’s research, history says this series may be over soon in Miami’s favor.

I bet this is gonna be the much awaited games in this series. Two tough teams collide and a former rival teams back then to 2006 NBA finals. And who will gonna survive…will it still Miami or it is Dallas now.
Yeah!! NBA is really an exciting game and so as the fans are excited too. I wanna watch it every of this game.
