2 1 century, which teams won the first place in the regular season, but were swept away in the playoffs?

This season, in the pursuit of goals, some teams are happy and some are worried. First, the MVP letter brother was eliminated early, and then the Clippers were turned over. The two favorites were sent back to their hometown in the second round. The Lakers and the Heat are constantly adjusting, entering the division finals respectively, and are currently ahead of their opponents.

This year's season is very special. Many teams have finally won the playoff places, but either the team lineup is as unbalanced as the Nets, or they are swept out of the house in the first round and can only fight again next year. But when it comes to sweeping, fortunately, the bucks with MVP won a game and were not swept by the Heat, otherwise it would be a big joke. So in the history of NBA, which teams played the first record in the regular season, but now they are swept out of the house?

The first is the 200 1 spurs. That year, Duncan was in a hot state, winning more than 70% in the regular season and successfully advanced to the first seed. That year, however, the Lakers were battling for the championship, and the two teams met in the West. In the face of a strong OK combination, the Spurs, like other teams, can't escape the fate of being swept out of the house. It is worth mentioning that when the Lakers played Iverson at the end of the playoffs, they only lost a small game!

Followed by the Nets. In 2002, the Lakers began to hit three consecutive championships. It was also in that year that the Nets successfully won the first record. The team with Kidd can rank first in the East, but it is not so good in the whole league. So I finally advanced to the finals and was swept directly by the Lakers.

Then the piston in 2003. After the Nets final was swept away, the loss of the game did not affect the morale of the players. They quickly made a comeback in the second year and achieved excellent results again. Dong must face the Pistons, and all members of the Nets went all out to win four games in a row and sweep their opponents.

From 2003 to the 20 15 season and 20 18 season, the top team was swept out of the house. The opponents of these two teams were James who joined the NBA in 2003. First of all, 20 15, he swept the hawks when the team lineup was not complete enough. Even if his opponent has an all-star lineup, he is still no match for James!

On 20 18, James led the team to the final. But they faced a tiebreak in the first round and faced the Raptors in the second round. James J.S.Wong, did you just open it? Jan? The mode sweeps the opponent directly. But unfortunately, although the Cavaliers entered the finals and sent away the first place in the East, it was a pity that they were swept by the Warriors in the finals. After that season, James moved to the West for the first time in his career.
