2014 Finals Much Like 2004 Finals

Home court was flipped obviously, but it took a big game from Kobe in game 2 of the 04 Finals to squeak out a win before ultimately losing in five, and this series is following the same narrative. One team has the best player and superior star power, while the opponent plays team basketball and can lean on multiple guys for production.
Every now and then a team comes along that transcends the usual NBA script where stars dominate the league. I hated SA more than any team growing up, but much like that Pistons team, how can you not appreciate the cohesiveness and collective execution? Watching these two squads 10 years apart has been a treat. This is basketball at its finest

I usually prefer a more explosive style of play, but I have a lot of respect for the way the Spurs play basketball and the overall personality of their team.
