Are 2012-13 Lakers Most Disappointing Team All Time?

[Da_Eggman]

The Heat were healthy and were up 2-1 against a team everyone thought they would beat. The Lakers were without their best player and point guard and were playing d league level players in the 1st round. The Lakers were far from a disappointment in the playoffs. The regular season was a different story.

2011 Spurs are a close 2nd when it comes to playoff disappointments.

That just adds to the dissapointment that they couldn't stay healthy it proved it was filled with washed up bums and the most overrated star in nba history that he couldn't lead them to a better record and had a career ending injury playing 48 mins a game just to fight for an 8th seed

It might be the must disappointing team in sports history actually

another laker team with kobe shaq malone and gp

Malone got injured again. That Laker team got lucky(ET injured) and pretty much won games in the offs on talent because they never got chance to really create any chemistry in the regular season when Malone went down for 40 games.

 

[Greenhornet]

I think we would have gotten beat by the spurs eventually at a higher seed or the grizzles

Naw disappointments are when you have a #1 record in the NBA and can't even lead your team to the Finals let alone win a championship. That so called overrated superstar never did that once let alone twice

Injuries are not an excuse it just adds to the dissapointment

Staying healthy is apart of the game

If Perkins and ray Allen were fully healthy the lakers wouldn't of won that 7 game series but that's just apart of the game

Still doesn't make the Celtics a huge disappointment.

If Bynum and Kobe were fully Healthy the Celtics lose in 5. We can play this game all night.

Kobe was healthy and Bynum was what he always is

Celtics owned the lakers until the injures happen

Definitely the 2011 Heat. After holding a parade and promising multiple championships, they absolutely ran through the Eastern Conference playoffs. After they lost Game 1 to the Bulls in the ECF, they murdered them the next 4 games. None of their first 3 series were even remotely competitive. Heat championship rings were probably already halfway done being crafted before they even played in the 2011 NBA Finals.

Game 1 of the Finals vs. Mavs they dominated.
Game 2 they had a 15 point lead with 7 minutes left.
Game 3 Bosh hit a game-winner to take a 2-1 lead.
And then LeBron got outplayed by Jason Terry for 3 straight games.

Injuries happen all the time in sports, and when they occur, it sucks. It was definitely a disappointing season for the Lakers, but are we going to sit here and say the 2008 Pats were a massive disappointment after going 16-0 the previous year? No, because Brady got hurt... Similar thing here, except it happened with a variety of guys and some of them simultaneously. There were no delusions about the Lakers' destiny less than halfway through the 12-13 season. And once Kobe went down, it was a wrap. If we see them flaming out in December/January, and then it actually happens in May, is that really all that disappointing?

The 2011 Heat choked something fierce. Can't remember a time a team had so much preseason hype, actually came through with it throughout the regular season, stepped up in the playoffs, only to fall short on the biggest stage. Being the first team in NBA Finals history to lose it all after taking game 3 to go up 2-1 (in 3 straight games no less...), THAT is what you call disappointment at it's finest.

And then Dirk and Cuban styled on those fags by going to LIV and celebrating

Edit: The fact that everybody remembers the 2011 NBA Finals for The Heat/LeBron choking instead of the Mavericks winning tells you everything you need to know about how disappointing that team was.

@ "Kobe was healthy". Bean was getting his knee drained every other game. The next season he was playing on one leg and not even practicing. He was 2013 Wade status in 2010 playoffs but with heart and no other ball dominant player on the team.

And Perkins was what he was in the Finals a NO rebounding azz n!gga. The team who rebounded won...Perkins was going to help with that.

Closing Time!!

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

No the 2011 Heat are

they made the nba finals...

 

[Codeine Bryant]

they made the nba finals...

And the 2007 18-1 Patriots made the Super Bowl. You saying they didn't disappoint?

A team that's supposed to win and doesn't is far more disappointing than a team that everybody knows is just weeks into the regular season.

A team that had its first season together made it all the way to the finals and lose vs a team full of vets is not a disappointment no matter how you spin it

Than the fact they came back and now have won BACK to BACK titles proves all they needed was time to figure it out

The lakers were a team filled with vets and had already won titles with that core and ADDED two more hall of fames only to become the must hyped up dissapointment in sports history

You can shyt on that mavs team all you want but they were a great team lead by two hall of famers that had been together for years if you don't want to give them any respect that's on you

 

[Rakim Allah]

they made the nba finals...

and proceeded to disappoint.

And the 2007 18-1 Patriots made the Super Bowl. You saying they didn't disappoint?

A team that's supposed to win and doesn't is far more disappointing than a team that everybody knows is just weeks into the regular season.

Not one laker fan or sports writer or analysis thought the lakers were the complete joke they turned out to be

Now your just rewriting history " oh we all knew they were gonna suck"

Bullshyt they were hyped just as much as the heat

And that pats team is one of the most disappointing team in history but problem with them is they went back losing again that's the difference between them and the heat

The lakers on the other hand didn't even get that far and have no chance of sniffing the finals for years to come

That's the definition of a disappointment
