Paul George coming back got me thinking about the Pacers and their ridiculous fall off last season from how they started to how they ended. What do you think is the biggest fall off from a team starting completely on fire to looking like they can't stand to even play with each other you've seen?

    Redskins 2013.

    RG3 was the jewel of the draft class and seemed to be neck n neck w/ Andrew Luck as far as potential. 20td, 5int. 3-6 start but won 7 in a row to finish 10-6

    14-0 1st quarter lead at home vs a non-descript Seattle Seahawks team in the playoffs

    Then...RG3 reinjures his knee

    We lose the game, he's never been the same since, Andrew Luck is now headed to Untouchableville, Seahawks are a dynasty. RG3's place in the league is up in the air

    I be damned if U ain't right mane. I screamed at the top of my lungs for Shanahan to take that boy out the game at halftime. It's been downhill ever since.

    Bengals in the post season the last four years. Smh damn shame a team that wins 10-12 games in the regular season get to the playoffs and look like a 5 win team. Even against favorable matchups.

    I believe the 2000 Blazers having the Lakers down 21 points going into the second half of game 7 in the Western Conference Finals after being down 3-1 in that series.

    USC that year Vince Young looked like an all world player to bring Texas back to beat USC in the National Championship game.

    2004 Lakers when the Detroit Pistons shocked the world and beat Shaq, Kobe, and a washed Karl Malone and Gary Payton.

    Those Fab Five Michigan teams with Chris Webber, Juwon Howard, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson those cats were arguably the greatest college basketball team ever assembled from top to bottom and lost to inferior teams in the tournament two years in a row. (My opinion)

    2004 Yankees squad that had the Boston Red Sox down like 3 games and still lost thar series. I don't even follow MLB but those cats choked.

    I'm sure they're more but those are the teams that immediately come to mind.

    I don't really count this. To me, an implosion would imply that a team would have to be good first, then totally cave. That Lakers season with Dwight, Nash, Pau, Kobe, and Ron-Ron went down in flames before November was even over.

    A team losing in the finals is not an implosion

    Some of these are far from implosions.

    Watch that finals back and tell me they didn't implode. People could implode in the post season too.
