So which west conf playoff team had the worst 1st round of the playoffs.

I am only considering the Jazz, Spurs, and Hornets.

Jazz were supposed to be the 2nd best team in the west. They were supposed to be the only team to beat the mighty lakers. They plummited and had to play the Lakers who are arguably the best team in the west. They ended up losing in game 5. Thier only win was by 2 points, the other 4 losses were by 13, 10, 14, 11

Spurs were considered a quality team that is always dangerous around playoff time. They played the lowly mavericks who some expected to not make the playoffs. They had home court advantage. They ended up losing in game 5. Their only win was by 21 points, the other 4 losses were by 8, 21, 9, 13

Hornets were supposed to be an elite team in the west. They played the newcommer Nuggetts that have not made it out of the first round in 10 years. They tied a record for the worst loss in playoff history. Their only win was by 2 points, the other 4 losses were by 19, 15, 58, 21

I am a Jazz fan, I am sorry but I think it has to be the hornets. because of the big losses. Spurs were a close second due to having home court and being dominated by the Mavs.

I think you sent into the preseason and offseason with overly excited expectations of your team.
TNT knuckleheads might have thought the Jazz were the second best in the league, but not anyone else; aside from the Lakers, the west seemed pretty wide open.
As for the playoffs, you guys lost a bunch at the end of the regular season, pretty much sealing your fate.
But yeah, if you went into the season thinking you were the second best team in the league, seems like the Jazz were the league's biggest loser-

Hornets stunk it up with Chandler on one leg, Peja still not right, West had mild injuries end of the season, really exposed our lack of depth, Denver is just playing unreal basketball right now. Nuff said.
