10 NBA superteams which disappointed the most

#1 Golden State Warriors: 2015-16

The Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals in 2016.

Let's recall what the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors earned during the year. They broke the record set by the Chicago Bulls for the most wins in the regular season of 72-10 by going 73-9 during the season. Stephen Curry became the league MVP for the second time, first ever unanimous MVP of the league. He also broke the record for the most 3-pointers made in a regular season by hitting 402 3-pointers.

The list goes on and this team got all the attention which no other team ever got before. Everything looked excellent for the Warriors, there wasn't any team out there which could break them apart and win the Championship. They finished the regular season with the best record ever and got the first seed as well. They started their playoff run and went against the Portland Trail Blazers and got past them.

In the second round, despite Curry's injury, the Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets. But in the Conference Finals, they had a really tough competition against the Oklahoma City Thunder where they were 1-3 in the series. But their historic comeback shocked the basketball world and they reached the NBA Finals.

They started the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers and won 3 games out of 4, but the motivation that LeBron James and Kyrie Irving showed after Game 4 changed the whole series and the Cavaliers won the Championship in seven games. This was the most disappointing end of a superteam ever and this was felt in Curry's performance even in the entire 2016-17 NBA season.

Everything was going good for the Warriors, but the injury to Curry in the first round did some damage to him although he made an amazing comeback in game 5 where they defeated the Blazers. In the second round, Curry had another injury which slowed down their momentum and Curry couldn't play to his full potential in the NBA Finals.

Draymond Green got suspended for the fifth game which really hampered the Warriors' game. Curry got ejected in Game 6 and the Cavaliers forced the seventh game in the series. Andrew Bogut also suffered an injury and their teamwork was shaken-up. During the do-or-die game, the Warriors had a good lead at halftime, but they became so comfortable that the whole game went out of their reach and they lost the finals. The clutch three-pointer from Irving in the last minute made all the difference.
