4 straight finals and back to back is no underachievement. They might not have met your expectations but its not an underachievement.

The most disheartening thing about this season is that Wade was managed so he could be his absolute best for the ECF and Finals. He only play 50 games and still flamed out in the Finals.

So when Lebron signed you believe they took pay cuts etc for two championships and finals appearances?
This team has under performed I don't think that can be argued (even if I agree the bar was set to high in the first place)

fukk outta here.

The experiment was monumental dissapontment.

Anything else is just plain rationalization.
Not meeting your expectations doesn't equal disappointment.

finals every year. back to back titles. Second longest regular season winning streak in NBA history.

Made the NBA regular season interesting for 3 straight years.

I believe that they got together to give them a chance to win a title every year. Which is exactly what they did.

Its hard to win in the NBA. its damn near impossible to do what they have done these 4 years.

no one can be disappointed.

Considering the state of the east it is not a success but not a failure either. The team should have won 3. That Dallas series fukked up everything
That was the worse of the 4 teams.

So its not hard to see why they lost that one and won the next 2.

the contracts were for four years and all have opt outs now. Out of the four years together they went to the finals every year, 4
out of the amount of titles they won, they won half...only team to go to four straight finals consecutively since the lakers

with that said the parade makes it look worse because of the boasting...no parade and it's a success to me

I think this series does a lot of harm than any of the noise they made 3 years ago.

Losing like this was pretty bad.

I'd say if they never won any titles than it would be a disappointment, but reaching 4 straight finals and winning two is something every team would take. it's only a disappointment if you were expecting a 4 peat. which is damn near impossible in todays nba.

The parts around them were not as good as the two title teams but it didn't matter because that was the most balanced and best version of the Big 3. That team beat every eastern team in 5 and took Dallas to 6 despite LeBron playin far below his standards. Bron and Wade gave you 25 every night and Bosh about 18.
