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

I believe Steve Smith and Shaq talked about the 2000 playoff series they had and Steve said they had the momentum going into game 7.

Shaq then admitted that had the Blazers won, the Laker management would have blown up the team. This was the beginning of a Lakers 3 peat and a bunch of trouble il the unfocused Blazers team.
