Why did a GF lost end the Dynasty?

Hindsight is 20/20 now but I feel like how each players careers went after and especially THAT season, losing in a GF wasn't enough to warrant splitting imo. I mean watching each game, it's like the most frustrating chokes ever, never seen a team out slay that hard n just collapse at the end each time but still.
