how is the 2004 olympic team only 7th?

[Mugen]

I don't think the 2011 Heat and the 2004 Lakers belong on that list.

[Blake]

How is 2007 Mavericks not in the top five, much less top ten?

[KaiRMD1]

I figured the Lakers would make it to number one, they underachieved in ways the Knicks never could.

[HarlemHeat37]

Teams that make the Finals shouldn't even sniff this list, tbh..

[100%duncan]

3 and 1 but imho 2004 olympic team deserved to be #1.

I think its because this list went off of pre-season hype expectations. No one expected the 07 Mavs to win 67 games before the season started. All these other teams were considered among the top favorites to win the championship in dominant fashion before their seasons even started.

If the 2004 Lakers make the list, I'd probably put the 2007 Patriots on it too. But I tend to agree with Harlem. If a team makes the championship game/series, even if they lose, it's tough to call that team too disappointing.

Didn't even think about the 07 Pats. I don't get how they didn't get on the list, and a team like the 11 Heat did.

I can somewhat understand the 04 Lakers though, because they underwhelmed even in the regular season. The Pats and Heat both had a fantastic regular season, and pretty much dominated in the playoffs, up until the Finals/SuperBowl

[mercos]

I agree that teams that make the finals shouldn't make the list. 2004 USA Olympic team should probably be number one as the first team featuring NBA players to not get gold in the Olympics. This year's Lakers are close behind though with a $100 million payroll and first round sweep. The 2007 Mavs that won 67 games should have probably made the top ten as well.

LOL 2013 Lakers the most disappointing team since Naismith invented the game.

[hater]

not sure what the criteria is but I would not even list the 2013 lakers here. I would call them the most overhyped team in history thou. No contest. But truth be told, they were not qualified to begin with. Only a few of us saw it when season started, while most ppl were drunk with the hype. (including timvp )

Ima have to say the Olympic team that got bukkaked by Carlos Arroyo is gotta be the most dissapointing team in history.

2004 Spurs
2004 Olympic squad
2006 Spurs
2008 Spurs

Any guesses on why I chose the above teams? Bonus: what HOF player is the common denominator on all 4 disappointing squads? Now that DarrinS

Because you're butthurt that 73-9 became 0-4?

[hater]

well not everyone had a rape charge to fight in the offseason

[LkrFan]

Nope. The Lakers will reload again (they always do) and give themselves a shot at ranging. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't, but seemingly, they always have the opportunity to compete for rangs.

Be lucky I didn't include 8 in my above post.

LOL competing for rings with a bunch of quitters.

2011 Spurs should be on that list. Losing to the 8th seed, in such a convincing fashion, after finishing top in the west.

[Latarian Milton]

and the LA city got 3 teams on that list

[Thebesteva]

Ill never forget how in whack this season was

If the '07 Mavs aren't there, then the '11 Spurs shouldn't be. Everyone and their brother knew Gasol and Z-bo were going to feast on smallball.

Well, almost everyone.

I don't think I saw dodgers, so you must be talking about the Angels. They are not LA, they aren't even in the same county.
