We are finally starting the conference finals tonight. If somehow Mavs end up beating Warriors, we are finally going to see a brand new team becoming champions. Obviously Celtics has a ton of rings, but they haven't won one in over a decade, so it should be new for the era we are in right now, Heat managed to get to finals, but ended up losing to Lakers during bubble period, and Mavs last won one with Dirk, so that was a long time ago as well, about a decade so far right?
This is why this finals will be very entertaining to me if Warriors end up losing, I love them and all, but I would like to see someone new end up winning the title.
Indeed, Boston Celtics have acquired numerous championship rings already even before the time of Kevin Garnett and I think they are the holder of longest championship streak in history at the time of Bill Russell. While the Mavericks have some numerous appearance on the NBA Finals but they have acquired only 1 ring with Dirk throughout the whole history of NBA, that was 2011. So, yes it's already over a decade.
Both teams that are stated above are still capable to appear once again in the NBA Finals this season but they have to defeat the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors, respectively.
