It was a ugly defensive battle between 2 of the best defenses in the league it doesn't necessarily mean the level isn't as high even though it can appear that way. People assumed the '04 Lakers would roll over the '04 Pistons because of the ugly defensive battle between the Pacers in Pistons in that year's ECF.

Spurs and OKC play a more wide-open finesse style, Spurs used to be more physical. The West does have more teams that are good but the teams at the top of the East are great themselves and the East has the best defensive teams.
