Has a singular loss completely derailed a franchise’s progress whether in the past or still facing repurcussions today?

    In a way, it’s pretty damn impressive that Presti managed to take a team that lost the most valuable asset in the entire league for nothing, and still turn around and put together a squad with Westbook, PG and Melo.

    Thunder didn’t go into full rebuild mode after that, they actually made the playoffs for three straight years.

      Yeah and it kind of speaks to me being a little bit spoiled to have been a fan of this team for 15 years and only been legitimately bad for like 3 years total. It was just the end of 6 years of contention after losing that game
