The losing team had a bigger point differential in wins whereas the actual series winning won closer games. Series I would imagine going 7

I guess it doesn't count for the full series, but Golden State looked better than San Antonio through three games in 2013 before Curry injured his ankle. They shoulda been up 2-0 going back to The Bay. That game one loss was insane.
It’s typically a choke job.

In the 1998 ECF, I felt like the Pacers were the more complete team, and the Bulls beat them in a crucial game 7 in the last five minutes of the game. It was a very tense series, and you could tell that Chicago was nervous, tense, and uncomfortable.

Lebron outplayed curry and durant facing those warriors super team, he was the best player on the floor.
I somewhat agree but the series would have been done in 5 if refs call The Reggie push off on Jordan. But Phil was being outcoached that series too. It took everything they had to beat the Pacers in game 7.
Pacers should've won game 7 and were the better team that whole game imo. Jordan also shot like shyt.

That push-off was egregious. He literally ran into Jordan with his arms out.

Barring a significant injury, in the NBA you get 7 chances to get to 4 wins. It's hard to say the winning team is inferior...
The Bulls were hanging on for dear life by the end of that series. Jordan and Kukoc were damn near playing 2-on-5 by Game 7.
Indy clearly had the better overall team and deeper roster...but Chicago had the GOAT.

That game 7 was a bad one to lose. Mike and Scotty went a combined 15-43 from the field and 15-24 from the line and Indy still couldn’t pull it off. Dale Davis going 3-10 at the line in a 5 point loss
. Pacers had 12 shot attempts all 4th quarter with Reggie shooting just once 
2017 Wizards vs. Celtics
2018 Pacers VS Cavs
Pacers outscored em 704-664 for the series. They won the only blowouts in the series but lost a couple tight games.
Refs so cheated the Pacers by missin and obvious goaltend in crucial game 5 they admitted later too
They call that goaltend and it's a much different pressure to win game down than safety cushion of bein tied and least OT. Pacers probably win and then win in 6 they blew em nikkas out next game.
Pacers outscored em, outrebounded em, out assisted em, more steals, less turnovers, 4.7% higher FG%, 3.6% higher 3PT%.... Only category Cavs won was FTs, FTA and FT%......
