What Playoff Loss Was More Understandable? 09 Cavs or 98 Lakers?

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Both teams had a top 3 (at worst) player
Two 60+ Win Teams
Both had Finals expectations
Both lost to underdogs

What say you?

The Jazz were the defending conference champions and had two Hall of Famers

09 Cavs

Teenage Dipsey Doo was very excited over the possibility of a Lakers/Bulls Finals. That Lakers team was stacked and had just finished beating the breaks off of Seattle. Getting punked like that by Utah was a letdown.

I’ve heard Utah was merely a microcosm of a watered down era that could’ve been beaten by any semi adequate team

 

[10bandz]

Neither

both were inexcusable.

Lakers had 4 all stars all mad young and the jazz swept them

But according to the coli they were “plumbers” who happened to go to a wcf & back to back finals in 3 years
