Riley? Huge story. But it’s not good enough to just show 82 and stop. The 83 sweep by Philly was compelling and then how they bounced back to dominate the next 5 years.

I could see taking it through '83.
But really I kinda liked the idea of S3 being '83 and the loss to the Celtics in '84 (that 7 gamer could be a season of its own with the way that series pivoted on a couple key foulups and a big scrum and eventual physical play) with the domination of '85-88 teams being S4 and then S5 being the decline and denouement.
But yeah, you could have S2 be through the Philly title, S3 the 'celtics years', S4 the Pistons years and S5 the runout against the Bulls and eventual Magic/Dunleavy wrapup.
