Not 1994 because they had homecourt advantage in the WCF that year. In 1995 they played the Cinderella role because they were the lower seed in every round and didn't return back in 1996.
Tell me that Miami, even with prime Lebron, doesn't have a somewhat limited run of potential titles as currently constructed with Wade seemingly fading from injuries.
Tell me that Boston and to a lesser degree, LA, aren't close to going through rebuilding projects and will go through a few years of less than stellar seasons before they're retooled as serious contenders.
Tell me that Memphis isn't a well-constructed teams poised to be major contenders over the next few years while the usual suspects, in fact the entire Western conference, is in a state of flux.
Tell me that a fully loaded Chicago team with a presumably healthy Rose doesn't pose a major threat to the Heat down the line. Ditto for the 'no-name' Pacers.....
There's every possibility that future finals may be played between teams that don't have players appearing on cereal boxes and Kia commercials. Are you going to implode if that happens?
No I won't implode I will just be outside doing something else like I will be if the Pacers and Grizzlies are in the 2013 NBA Finals.
The Pistons? They were a top 3 seed in both of those seasons so I don't out them in the cinderella category.
They beat a Lakers Team that just 3 peated and had added Karl Marlone and Gary Payton. If the Pistons aren't a cinderella story, then the #3 seeded Pacers shouldn't be consider one either....

I said Memphis is the cinderella team not Indy. And the lakers didn't just 3 peat because their winning streak was snapped by the Spurs in 2003. They returned to the Finals in 2004 and that's when they lost to the Pistons. That Pistons team was good and was far from Cinderella which is why they was back in the Finals in 2005.
