The prosperity of this league has been built on dynasties.
The score of these games and whether or not it's a blowout are great talking points in the moment but in the grand scheme of things it's a boon to the league.
We're three straight finals in with the same two teams and it's arguably winner take all, particularly since Boston has the resources to possibly take a quantum leap this summer.
This sort of dominance is precisely what breeds higher levels of casual interest and viewership. You get a bunch of casual fans who don't know dick about the NBA, but they do know that they'd like to see the Warriors and Cavs get taken down a peg.
Add to that the offseason intrigue for fallen former standard bearers like LA & Philly along with other teams poised to take a step toward contention like Minny and there's an awful lot to attract more casual eyeballs to the game.
Dominance has always been one of the greatest selling points of pro sports.
