Easily the 93 Sonics losing to the nuggets. That series is still beyond embarrassing.

Is this even a question?

Warriors and Mavericks?

Worst playoffs team in the West knocked out one of the best regular season teams ever.

u say "whats urs?" does this mean most embarrassing loss by YOUR team? if so ill go w/the nets getting swept by the lakers in the finals, only cuz LA made it look like nj had no right to be there, totally overmatched, although no shame in losing to them (but it still hurt) ... if u mean all time its gotta be a 8 vs 1 upset and i agree its dallas-GS

Takes the cake. Especially after how well Cleveland played the Spurs in the regular season. But apparently "the regular season doesn't matter". :roll:

Blowing a 15 point 4th quarter lead in game 7. Losing to the Lakers, who had a top 5 C in his prime, and another future HoF isn't embarassing in its own right, but the choking when you had them on the ropes is.
Thank you for all the memories BRoy. You were a class act and brought hope to an entire region for 5 years. You will be missed.

Regular season does matter though re: Golden State/Dallas.

The Magic losing the the Pistons after TMac's comments has to be up there.

And you can add any Memphis playoff series, since they always get swept.

I was a Blazer fan until that fateful WCF game 7. It wasn't really embarrassing, just painful to watch.
