NBA: Best team to lose in the first round of the playoffs?

[ambchang]

Not sure, amb. I was pretty young that year and wasnt that year Magic had the knee injury?
Anyways the candidates were pulled from BBinsiders and I added the 2015 Spurs since the article predates 2015... if you have an issue reach out to them ...

That was the year that turned magic into tragic (he officially turned coachkiller the next year, but this was the year wee these really ticked magic off). Westhead wanted to slow down the tempo but magic wanted to have fun.

2007 Mavs and it's not even close.

At least the 2011 Spurs lost to a 46-win Grizzlies

best record in the Eastern conference right before Rose blew out his knee ...and lost to a Sixers team that had Iggy and a bunch of spare parts ...

Meh they were gonna get rekt by miami per par

2007 Mavs were overrated (look at their point differential) & the same squad got trashed in 2008.
