You know, the year your Pistons won the championship, nobody on that roster had played in a Finals series.
And the Dallas choke job I'm referring to is last year's.
And yes, experience matters, but at the end of the day, the championship hinges on who plays better basketball. And the Celtics play better basketball than the Spurs and Lakers.
