These dudes were stacked for the most part (yes, they could have used more size, but it was honestly chemistry issues that plagued them the last half of the season). They were on a tear up until January, then won only half their games until the all-star break. Somehow they squeezed past Cleveland to beat the Magic and enter the finals. They nearly have the Lakers on the ropes and then blow it all away with Pau Gasoft and Ron Artest making critical shots. Damn...shyt was never the same after.

2010? Aka when Perkins was injured and KG couldn't guard Bynum and Gasol at the same time? We were ONE quarter away from winning it all until we fukked it all up. Yes, we fukked up that 4th quarter like no other. Y'all didn't win it. We gave it to you.
This is the same "overrated" team that shyt on your Lakers in 08 and beat them by 40+ in a GAME 7

We had Rasheed though, who was underperforming big time with all those ill advised 3's. I'm a Celtics fan son and even I wanted to take a bite of that cyanide capsule when they blew the fourth quarter of Game 7 (and cost me 3K that I had riding on them winning the series).

How much did they underachieve when they went 7 games and only lost by a few points?
what?
the 04 lakers were favorites to win the titles
the 2012 lakers weren't favored to do shyt and didn't do shyt
Who underachieved more the 2010 Celtics or the 2012 Lakers? That's the question. I didn't say they were favorites to win it all but when the trade went down and all, barely making the playoffs was something not even the biggest Laker hater imagined. I think last year lakers team is going down in history as one of the most disappointing teams in their history.

Oh well.
This is a horrible thread.
If we're going by underwhelming Finals performances, 2011 Miami Heat have to be the biggest underachievers. 5 minutes away from a commanding 2-0 series lead, and even after they blew Game 2, they still won the next one to take a 2-1 series lead.
