There are a lot of teams that I would hate to see be as successful as the Panthers have been, but I find it hard to begrudge the Panthers with Uncle Ivan etc. They were a long time coming in doing what we would dream of the Warriors doing, and they did it the right way with a painful clean out, rebuild, and investment in youth.
I don't want them to win again, but it is probably not good for the game to have so many heavyweight teams underperforming so badly. The game needs the big match-ups, and the better performing teams are going to take time to build up that aura.
