The West was not loaded by any stretch for a large portion of the Lakers run. Just think back to the Mavs run back in 06...The Lakers didn't face anything like that with their runs to The Finals.

No doubt the West was definitely weak in the 80's. The finals, OTOH, were definitely competitive has hell.
