What would piss you off more?

If your favorite team had the best record in the regular season but didn't make it to the finals

OR

If your favorite team went the finals and lost?

This is a toughy. I think the 1st one for me b/c at least in the 2nd option your team makes it to the finals & that's something to be proud about even if your team does come short. Just b/c your team has the best record though, doesn't necessarily make it a given that they will make the finals b/c it is a deep league & there are 15 other teams in the playoffs that want the same thing.

I lived through each of these the last 2 seasons..... Let me say its a lot worse not being in the Finals

Going to the Finals and losing. When the Lakers lost to Detroit in 2004, I don't know that I've ever been so mad in regards to basketball.

Finals/losing. nothing more heartbreaking then getting to the big dance only to lose. You know what they say, 2nd place is first loser.

Unfortunately for Phoenix fans, it'll not only be a disappointing playoff run, but also in that they'll be unable to pick either choice, sad

Your favorite team is the #1 seed and loses in the first round to the 8th seed.
or
Your favorite team has the worst record in the league but gets screwed over in the lottery and ends up with the 4th pick in the draft.

Of course it'd be the first choice because the talent you get out of the draft aren't certain to meet the expectations that follow, you can get a number 1 draft pick and still be the worst team for the next 5 years.

Hmm... I think that going to finals and loosing is really pissing off, but it depends on that thing how team performed in finalas, if they lost 0-4, that nots pissing off, but if 3-4 and after leading 3-0 it will really piss of me...

Try being the number 1 seed and going to the finals only to lose 3-4 by 1 pt in overtime. Lol a true basketball fan would kill himself
