Really? I don't agree. Games 1-4 were blowouts. The only saving grace was Game 5 and the fact that the series went 7 games.

Ok, it was a great mini-series. Best of three. The last three games, I thought, were great to watch. Although I couldn't stay up for the end of them (except game 7).

Any of the 80's Lakers or Celtics teams, or 90's Pistons or Bulls would have dismantled either of these teams.

Possible, but those teams didn't face the same defenses that these teams play. I agree that each of those teams had a player that was better than any player currently on the Spurs or Pistons. (Bird, Magic, Isaiah, Michael.) But the rules and, more importantly, teams' philosophies regarding defense have changed dramatically from those eras (except maybe for Jordan's last run). Just something to consider.
