All 4 teams made it between 1979-81

Flyers lost the SC in 79-80 and Sixers lost in the Finals in 80-81

The Flyers loss was the 1st win of the Islanders dynasty, and Game 6 was the Leon Stickle game (missed an offsides call).

The Sixers loss was the Magic Johnson game where he played center for an injured Kareem in the deciding game 6.
