i dont call it a failure by any stretch. but i dont know if tbeyll threepeat. if we wanna use history, the lakers lost in six to the celtics, then won in 5 against the magic, then in 7 to the celtics. pretty much exactly how the heats three finals appearances went. of course that history means little to nothing, but four strait finals appearances is quite hard to do. if theyll do it, i really dont know, but the odds are somewhat against them this year.
