10 Biggest Letdown Teams In NBA History - Спорт
73-9 is great but 72-10 has a better ring to it
😂😂😂 I liked that
As a warriors fan I hated that
@@sp1d3yyy its all in good fun
82-0 sounds best but theres no way thats gonna happen
That’s so funny 😂
I’d like to point out that 1993 was not the first finals appearance for the suns they made the finals in 1976
And also the 94 nuggets upset the 1st seeded SuperSonics
I came to the comments to say exactly this too lmao. Not too many things we Suns fans can be happy about, so we remember the small things
I came to the comments to say the exact same thing.
@@DaBeejees the only things really are Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson I guess both legends and now devin booker and you also got deandre Anton and also Chris Paul which this I think they will make playoffs cus of him but yea sadly suns have been doing bad for a while but there’s also Steve Nash amare stoudemire and Shawn Marion he’s one of my top ten favorite players
This UA-camr doesn’t know what he’s talking about
That Lakers team with nash and howard really fooled me lmao 🥴🤣
Same thought they was going all the way
After the 2011 Playoffs I kinda dreamed of a Kobe and Nash backcourt.
It happened a year later but didn’t turn out how I and several other NBA fans wanted.
@@Terror832 LOL Kobe was already breaking down and going to Germany.
Steve Nash was washed and Dwight wasn't ready mentally. Including MD offense was doomed from the start.
@@coachwane not washed just injuries he was still a solid player
Ya they look awesome on paper
The biggest team letdown is the Knicks establishment
Still got 2 chips while the clippers ain’t got a WCFS LMFAO
,
Minnesota Timberwolves say hello.
I think they are most cursed franchise in NBA history
@@Mamba24_81 But that was still early af in the NBA and had Phil Jackson on the team
karma for the 1985 rigged draft
The Nuggets beating the Sonics were the first team to win a series as the eighth seed
Yep...and then the Knicks were the second in 1999.
I think he met in a seven game series
Yep
Yeah first time ever but 5 game series.
In the second round Nuggets went 0-3 down to Utah but still forced a game 7 but lost it.
Also New York went down 0-3 in the 1951 Finals and forced a game 7, again obviously they lost it tho.
Thank you. I was thinking what in the heck is this narrator thinking.
Y’all gotta add the 21-22 Lakers 😂😂😂😂
Fr
How come its funny?
Barkley, drexler and olajuwon were over the hill at that time. The opposite of the Miami heat trio, who were all in their primes.
That's true
plus barkley was traded and not signed free agency.
@@finnburke2709 but Barkley demanded a trade over there
@@itachi-kun7736 let them defend
@@finnburke2709 he demands a trade
10:07 "He led them to their first finals appearance" that was really the suns 2nd appearance
I was going to say the same thing. This channel clearly does minimal research equivalent to Dubya Bush's "intelligence" information.
Also wrong about the first 8seed team to win the first round......that was Denver not Golden State.
2021 Brooklyn nets gonna be here after this year I’m calling it 😂😂😂
As a lakers fan I lowkey hope so 🥴
Harden kd has a chemistry before kyrie and kd has but not so much
u gon eat ur words
Not when harden is getting 11 boards and 14 assists.
Bruh might be frfr because Brooklyn plays no defense at all,they have no bench, and plus the big 3 playing 40+ min every night that's gonna wear them down
Amazing how the cavs were 61-21 with overweight shaq and it wasn’t a problem but in the playoffs they bring up overweight lol the Celtics were just the better team
Unfortunately we got robbed of a Kobe lebron shaq finals
just kobe and lebron.
Yeah and Shaq being overweight and slow certainly didn’t help Cleveland’s case
keep in mind the regular season and the playoffs are different. the cavs got away with shaq being overweight in the regular season but obviously they didn't in the playoffs.
Dude that cavs team was garbage
They had a young Lebron. Regular season wasn’t a problem you need more production from others in the playoffs
The second I clicked on the video, I subscribed. Great video and even greater voice! My man, you got the broadcast voice! I pray you go far in this business. You’re a natural!
Nice new intro! And could you please do a video on Dr. J?
I’ll take that please. Love Dr J
Do how good was Larry Johnson
I love LJ
Yessss please
Good thats the answer
Yea bro so underrated
Yeah
Love the new transition with y’all’s logo
Randomly found this channel recently and I am very grateful. Very good content
2011 was because Dirk was the man! And the Mavs straight took that ring from LeBron! One of the best NBA Finals ever!
Can’t agree more, love dirk
Not a fan of Dirk, but that upset win was amazing. Kudos to the Mavericks.
The Warriors weren't the first 8 seed to upset a 1 seed. The first to do so in a 7 game series, yes. But the first 8 seed to ever upset a 1 seed were the 1994 Denver Nuggets vs. the Seattle SuperSonics.
And the Knicks made the finals as an eighth seed before that
@@jairusnazario7019that was in 1999
Correction: The Suns made the finals TWO times. 1976 was their first finals appearance.
3 now
@@kontroller5304 Yes

This list was based on expectations going into the season and performance in the postseason
At least the clippers made the conference finals last year
Nets and cavs shouldn’t be eligible nets were ancient and cavs didn’t have anybody
Now the new #1 is the 2021-2022 lakers XD
1976-77 Philadelphia 76ers??
@@archiehamilton6506 They have a very good team rn.
Awsome vidoe love the videos 🔥🔥
5:18 the 2007 8th seed warriors were not the first team to upset a 1st seed. It was done before
I like this this video do a part 2 if there is any more let down teams
Dwight Howard came back after years on an injury list with Orlando magic. He didn't have realistic expectations as a starter Should have been more focused on being a defensive with an occasional dunk he figured out where he fit better when he won a championship as a role player with his new body. .Nash never had another chance but got to spend more time with his kids when he retired.
You should do cp3 time as a Clipper and how good was he among the other point guards in the league
You forgot about the 1976-77 Philadelphia 76ers. This is almost certainly the most talented team (compared to their league at the time) in NBA history. Just look at the roster that included all of these stars: Julius (Dr. J) Erving, World B Free, Darryl Dawkins, George McGinnis, (Jelly Bean) Joe Bryant, Henry Bibby, Doug Collins, Mike Dunleavy, Caldwell Jones, Harvey Catchings and Steve Mix. That's 11 players that could be starters on every other team at the time. Still, they lost to the Portland Trailblazers in 6 games. Portland had Bill Walton, Lionel Hollins, Maurice Lucas and Dave Twardzik as their key players.
But Portland played as a team and Philadelphia played like a bunch of individual stars. Given today's free agency, it's extremely doubtful that any team can assemble a team with that much talent again. Maybe this guy didn't go that far back in time, but it's hard to argue against the array of talent Philadelphia had that year.
Amazing video
1 yr later you can add the lakers Lebron, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwight Howard to team to this list!
2021-2022 Lakers
Number 1 2021-2022 Los Angeles Lakers
Isn’t it odd that they don’t have 1 mil yet?
I’m not so sure many people were expecting the 2013-14 Brooklyn Nets to really do much.
At first, yes. But it came to a screeching halt as soon as the season started and we realized these dudes were just old and the team had no chemistry.
I remember it like it was yesterday everyone was thinking they would be the team to beat and were better than miami. miami had a big 3. that nets team was supposed to have a big 5 of Lopez, KG, Pierce, Joe Johnson and Deron Williams. Easily the best starting 5 in the league and they would also have Jason Terry coming off the bench. However father time is undefeated and even of you were playing really good just one season ago the next you can he too old to be good and that what happened to the nets.
Imagine that David Stern had to rig the lottery for the Knicks to get a good player and still sucked
Loved that Barkley Suns team
92-93 Seattle Supersonics belong on this list,they had prime Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp, and brought in Detlaf Shrempf and Kendall Gill after having the best record and securing the first seed losing to 8th seed nuggets
Also 1996 Orlando Magic.
I remember being soooo hyped when the lakers got nash and Howard lmao, then few months later thought “why are they so garbo” 😂
4:34
Only because Hakeem had retired by that point, and Tim was still playing PF at that point.
The Admiral also gave him the business
@@gracelandtoo6240 David was great before he started getting hurt.
He declined fairly quickly and didn't last very long due to his injuries.
Definitely have to add in the 2014-2015 clippers… when they blew that 3-1 lead to Houston in the western conference semi finals… that was true pain
1976 Game 5: Suns vs. Celtics, it's on UA-cam and it's a fantastic game.
8:21 This team was unstapable in 2k Lol
2021 Nets may be the next team in the list
What about the the Nuggets with Mutombo? Weren't they an 8 who beat the 1 seed Supersonics? I may be wrong but (I was -5 years old)
You are correct.
Correct, but it was a 5 game series... Came from 2 down tho!
@@jameshutcheson2223 However long the series was is irrelevant. He simply said the first 8 seed to win a series.
Are you gonna make another one but with the 2020-21 nets?
I was hoping for the 2010-2011 bulls and how they were supposed to be a dynasty
The warriors weren’t a let down. They got screwed by the nba. If the league really cared about Draymond getting suspended, he would’ve missed a game in the western conference finals when he kicked Adams twice. They only suspended him because the cavs were healthy and still losing to the warriors.
Not to mention the injuries to Bogut who was a massive part of their defense and something that made them hard to beat as a playmaking 5.
Blah blah blah reasons haha
Actually, Draymond was one technical away from being suspended from playing in the next game before the finals. So no, they wouldn't have suspended him in the WCF. Instead of assuming, read up on it.
@@Bubs-_- no. You don’t understand. Forget Draymond being 1 tech away in the finals.
In 2012, Ron Artest wasn’t close to any suspension limit at the end of the regular season when he elbowed Harden. They just slapped him with a suspension right then and there. He missed all the rest of the regular season and all 7 games of the first round.
Draymond kicked adams TWICE in the WCF when the warriors were down 3-1. Both times were flagrant 2 worthy. But he never got suspended for rough play.
The nba doesn’t operate where you can foul as hard as possible but you won’t be suspended until you reach a limit.. they reserve the right to suspend you if the foul is too excessive.
So tell me how does it look when the league ignores adams getting kicked violently and the OKC fans calling for green’s suspension but the league ignored it since the 73-9 warriors were down 3-1 but then suspend Draymond for a leg slap after Lebron purposely antagonized Draymond by stepping over him when the warriors were UP 3-1?? At no point in time was that leg slap from Draymond tech worthy. The nba just did that because they needed more drama in the finals. The series was literally over after game 4. The healthy cavs only mustered up one good game out of the first four. They got out played by Draymond and the warriors’ bench. Steph, Klay and Barnes were god awful in that series.
Having the 2016 finals end like that would’ve been the biggest let down ever since everybody said all the cavs needed was to get healthy to make it a competitive finals. When their health became a non factor, the league stepped in with that suspension. That and bad calls against the warriors in game 6 turned the whole series around and lebron and Kyrie took advantage.
If you wanna use that excuse, which is not entirely true, than I can say that LeBron played bad on purpose in 2011 because the league wanted Dirk to get a title and the Mavs being an underdog made VEGAS alot of money. STFU 😂
Best thumbnail
What about the stacked '94 Sonics team that lost to the barely making the playoffs Nuggets back in the day? That was actually the first time a 8 seed beat a 1. Not the Baron Davis Warriors... Sonics won the first 2 games, then got outhustled the rest of the series in one of the few times I've seen full court pressure make a difference in the NBA
The Clippers: We’re up 3-1
Nuggets: Uno Reverse Card, Block Card
Clippers: Why can’t I move?
Clippers: NOOOO
4:10 malone lookin like a nms 2k my player lmao
So is no one gonna talk about the pic at 8:12
You can add the Nets 20/21😂
You can add the 2021-2022 Los Angeles Lakers. 😂
Got to add the 2022 lakers now
This video came out before it so there will be one and probably two new teams to add to the list: 2022 Lakers (already deserve to be on this list) and 2022 Nets (Who could still avoid this list still if they manage to win at least the play-in game and a few rounds in the playoffs)
Could you guys put the music you guys use in the description.
The whole thing is everybody losing to the mavs in 2011 but then the mavs lost in the first round in 2012
You should do one where u cover trades people thought we’re gonna be bad but turned out better than they thought
You missed one of the biggest let downs of all. The stacked and packed roster that should have been a given for a title on paper; the early 2000s Blazers
“Best 3-point shooting the league has ever seen”. Yeah, in a no defense league.
What do you mean by defense? Beating up people?
Much harder to defend now, and we still have great defense. Just because it isn’t as physical, don’t mean there aren’t great defenders out there. A lot more about endurance, recognizing plays, positioning, etc
Wasn't Steve Kerr the head coach of that 73-9 GSW part of the 96 bulls😂

@Ethan Hill they act like it so yeah
@Ethan Hill also its knew not new
This needa be updated to include the Nets😂
That new intro got me hard af!!!!
Honest to god I seriously think I just came...
...to my senses 😶😂🎅
I'm surprised nobody mention Wilt Baylor and West.
do this with the nfl
like the 2019 browns
I wouldn’t call the 07 warriors a great team. I would call them a dysfunctional good one that clicked at the right time.
Fire
As a Spurs fan, it pains me to say this but the 2015-16 and 2016-17 editions were two of the most disappointing seasons I've ever experienced. In the former, we were doing so well, keeping pace with Golden State for the win record and it was looking like we had a date with the Dubs in the conference finals but then the goddamn Thunder happened and we lost. The next year, did well again and we finally got the Golden State/San Antonio conference final we were denied a year ago and then Zaza Pachulia injured Kawhi and the rest is history. While I don't think we would've won in 2016, I truly believe that if Kawhi never got hurt in 2017, we would have six titles right now.
I was waiting for KD/Kyrie/Harden Brooklyn and then I noticed the date this was published.
Add to them 2021-2022 lakers!
one of the most underrated basketball channels
You really can't use teams that mostly stayed together the next year because they usually win it next time like the heat. I get the warriors because they added another star but still.
2018-2019 Celtics
Put this coming seasons lakers I don’t see them going past the 2nd round tbh westbrick is a proven choker and Davis is a injury prone glass window
0:47 they’ve been saying that about the clippers for the last decade and I only been watching the NBA last season.
Barkley played a long career before chasing a ring right at the end of his career with super stars out of their prime.
No mention of the 1976 Flint Tropics. Jackie Moon shakes his head in shame. He’s all about the comeback after the letdown.
I’m sure the updated version would also have the nets team with Kyrie and Durant on the list
One no superstar team with a ring was the pistons. That was just plain impressive
What up
Why is not Pau Gasol in that photo? The 2013 Lakers were made of 4 Hall of Fame players, a "Big 4": Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Steve Nash and Dwight Howard.
The 'Melo, Paul George and Westbrook Thunder were a real bust. They're beloved teams but the Kidd/Carter/Jefferson Nets and the Nash/Stoudemire/Shaq Suns were kinda put together for the purpose of getting the ring because they looked to be just 1 piece away, the latter missed the playoffs their only full season together and the Nets only ever made it to the 2nd round. I might go real old school and say the Wilt/Jerry West/Elgin Baylor Lakers too. Wilt is probably the 2nd greatest player to pick up a basketball ans West and Baylor are all time greats but they didn't go all the way until Baylor retired.
what about the Seattle super sounders?
it was the 2nd time the suns went in the final nonstop

Dude do lamelo ball on "how did lamelo ball make it to the nba".
Hmm.. Idk bout now 😀
2011 Lakers was a letdown too. Count the 2011 Spurs-Grizzlies matchup. Grizzlies walloped the Spurs in that series.
I remember that, after 2009, people said that Kobe and Pau were going to win many more rings together.
Well, only 1 more (2010).
2020-2021 Brooklyn nets about to be on here also lol
2017-18 Cavs as well
1993 was the Suns second finals appearence, not first. They played in the 1976 finals.
Surprised no mention of the Spurs in 2012 or 2013. Those were massive letdowns too. Though they didn't have mega stacked teams; they were just good teams in general who a lot of people kind of expected to be the team to beat the Heat. Which they did in 2014 in such a spectacular fashion that the Heat broke up, but still. I was disappointed they didn't do it at least one of the previous two years before that too.
I don't think the Spurs would've won in 2012, that Heat team was just too strong, but I will forever view 2013 and 2017 as blown opportunities. Those rings should've been ours. Yes, the 2014 ring does soften the blow of 2013 a little bit but 2017 forever killed us as we've been mediocre ever since.
Here before 100 comments boi
2017-18 Houston Rockets and 2015-16 OKC Thunder acknowledgments after blowing leads against the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.
2013 lakers were bad
76-77 Sixers lost to Portland in the Finals.
That Miami team did go on to win back to back titles tho
This video needs an update after the Lakers 2021-2022 😭😭😭
2022 nets too
So the Brooklyn Nets were a letdown in 2013-14 and 2020-21 lol
Add Lakers 2022 to this list.
Watching this of dec 2021. I can see resemblance of lakers 12-13 to this years lakers
How good was Sam Cassel
