The NBA was filled with great success stories this season but it was also filled with a number of very disappointing letdowns.
There were numerous teams that didn’t live up to their potential, including several that were thought of as potential champions.
On Tuesday’s “Get Up,” Mike Greenberg listed his five biggest NBA postseason disappointments.
He started with the Los Angeles Clippers at number five, followed by the Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Phoenix Suns.
Finally, he said the Denver Nuggets had the most disappointing postseason of the year.

The Clippers faced another injury to lead star Kawhi Leonard at the start of the postseason again.
This feels like a tale as old as time and it’s one that Greenberg said cost them their spot in the playoffs.
The 76ers also experienced a debilitating injury to their star player, Joel Embiid.
He tried to play through it but it was clear that he was hurting during the postseason and his team was taken down by the New York Knicks.
The Bucks were another team that faced a roadblock in the form of injuries to their lead stars.
As for the Suns, they were supposed to be one of the best in the West and go far in the postseason.
Instead, they got swept in the opening round and now there are a ton of questions swirling around them and their future.
As for the Nuggets, this postseason must be considered a disappointment because most people thought they had a chance at back-to-back championships.
Following their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday, those same people are now wondering if the Nuggets will ever return to the Finals.
Which of these teams can rebound in 2024–25 and put this disappointing postseason behind them?
