Answer 2

what happened to the cavs in 2007?

lebron hit the crapper in 4 games losing to the spurs.

yeah thanks for answering your own question

Answer 3

They lost to the Pistons in 5 not 6 games. I think injury played a major part in the Lakers losing that series. Karl Malone wasn't able to play in the Finals because of ankle injury. Also, the Pistons defense shut down pretty much everyone on the Lakers. Kobe and Shaq struggled against the tough defense.

Answer 4

Lost ?

Yes there were in their Prime .. yea right

What Happened to Cavs ? does Cavs have to suck that bad ? only went to Finals ONCE in god knows how many years ? and got Swept ?

Answer 5

to answer your question...they lost. end of story. Of course you could have saved yourself 5pts and looked it up since you obviously don't know what your talking about.

Answer 6

They hit a wall called DEFENSE.

Answer 7

the pistons really play better defense on them and on that year the pistons got a real boost when they got rasheed in  trade..plus the fact that malone got hurt..but kobe really try to carry them by himself and shaq i remember telling that he did not get more touch the ball..another is that in that year hand checking was allowed in the nba..since the pistons was 1 of the best defensive team that year and that they play much physical defense it really work against the lakers..

Answer 8

it was those days Kobe was thinking that he was better than Shaq. Three yrs later Shaq gets a ring(singing how my *** taste). While Kobe is still doing the one man show.

Answer 9

Gary Payton happened to the Lakers in 2004.

HUGE mistake bringing him aboard.

Karl Malone was also injured for the first and only time in his career...

In his 18 seasons in the NBA prior to joining the Lakers, Karl Malone missed a TOTAL of TEN games.

TEN GAMES missed in 18 years!!!

Why Karl, why!?!??

They missed him badly.   Payton was the guy that needed to be injured.  Payton was a total cancer on that team.

Answer 10

horry left LA to be a spur.  pistons won via 5 game sweep coz they believed they gave away one win to LA. back then practically everyone was against LA ( lakers themselves were fighting among themselves ).

Answer 11

it was 5 games u idiot not 6 learn the lesson before teaching it
