The NBA Playoffs’ Greatest Upsets Ever…



The NBA Playoffs’ Greatest Upsets Ever…

  1. Showing my age – but if you ask me “what’s the biggest gap upset series ever” it’s those Nuggets beating those Sonics. Hindsight shows the Sonics just weren’t battle tested yet for hard fought playoff series – but I can’t tell you properly how that series was looked at. You would think the Sonics had MJ or something 😂 it wasn’t even a matchup – easy 3 game sweep going half speed for the Sonics they were just miles ahead of the Nuggets – who were seen as reasonably talented but just raw unpolished as fuck. Mutombo played the best rim protection defence I’ve ever seen those last 3 games (he was pretty good the first 2)

  2. Give me the 3-1 lead 2016 warriors for a 73-9 warriors to put it into perspective they lost 4 games in which is almost 50% of the losts the warriors had in the entire season.

  3. For me it’s when raptors beat the bucks in 2019, bucks were up 2-0 then raptors came back when people doubted them, and Kawhi was playing hurt

    Healthy Giannis couldn’t stop a injured Kawhi

    This series should be talked more often

  4. Bro 2004 Pistons was a beast. They literally beat a team of Kobe, Shaq, Gary Payton and Karl Malone.

  5. That 2004 lakers team almost seemed fake. Prime kobe and shaq plus gary payton, karl Malone and Horace grant? Thats a 2k team right there

  6. Luka rewrote the narrative so badly that y'all forget that the Suns were the huge favorite to make it out of the west and were supposed to beat the Mavs in 5 games in 2022

  7. In 2004, after game 2 when Stephen A. Smith from ESPN, kept saying these are "The Lakers, The Lakers, The Lakers" and then they sucked…that's when I knew Stephen A. Smith was one of the biggest hacks on TV. Whenever he's on I just change the channel or turn it off. He's the biggest blowhard around.

  8. FANTASTIC list, but I would still put LeBron’s 2016 Championship as #1…. only because of the fact that it was to win it all. I get why you have the 04 Pistons at #1 tho…
