Ranking the last 25 NBA Finals matchups

#25 - LAKERS VS NETS (2002):� To me, this was the worst Finals.� It wasn't just that this was a sweep (though it factors), it is just that this series felt like a formality while you were watching it.� Sure, three of the games were close, but it just didn't feel like the Lakers even took this series seriously.� #24 - PISTONS VS LAKERS (1989):� This should have been epic.� The Lakers surged into the Finals after sweeping their first three series.� The Pistons had the best record in the league and we were staring at a rematch of one of the greatest Finals in history.� Well, that crashed when Byron Scott missed the entire series with a hamstring injury, then Magic Johnson getting hurt early in Game 2 and missed the rest of the series.� The Lakers were game, but with just Michael Cooper as their backcourt veteran, they were no match for that Isiah Thomas-Joe Dumars-Vinny Johnson backcourt.#23 - SPURS VS CAVALIERS (2007):�� Neither team was great (Spurs finished 3rd in the West; Cavs won just 50
