* That's what happened to the 2010 Cavs, who lost in the 2nd Round - they subsequently fell to lottery in 2011 after the loss of their entire starting lineup, including 50 ppg from Mo/Zydrunas/Shaq/Varejao/Delonte, and another 30 ppg from Lebron.
* That's what happened to the 2014 Heat, whose ragdoll loss against the Spurs vastly underperformed every other Spurs' opponent from those playoffs, aka the Heat were equivalent to a 1st Round Western team that fell to lottery in 2015 due to Wade/Bosh injury (40 missed games), and then nearly made the 16' ECF just like the 94' Bulls without Mike.
TLDR: team-hopping destroys teams
