From 1982-1985 the Lakers had 4 consecutive Finals appearances. They went 2-2.
From 1984-1987 the Celtics had 4 consecutive Finals appearances. They went 2-2.
These two eras of these two teams are considered some of the best teams in NBA history, even compared to the 1990s Bulls or the 1960s Celtics...
From 2010-2014 the Miami Heat had 4 consecutive Finals appearances. They went 2-2.
Of the previous EIGHT NBA Finals rematches the team that lost the first series went on to win the second series six of those times, including the above Lakers and Celtics teams.
While the 1960s Celtics teams won nine consecutive Finals appearances, I think we all agree that it was an entirely different league competition wise. This doesn't discredit or disregard what that Celtics team did, but it means we can't really use it as a frame of reference of comparison.
