2020: Portland Trail Blazers (35-39)
Notice he had no problem with all teams, apart from one. And that one is the only team that won more than 43 games in regular season. The Indiana Pacers in 2018 took him to 7 games, and that was the best team he faced in round 1 with a record of 48 - 34.
While 14 - 0 might be impressive looking at it from away, but when you dig deep into the opponents you see its unimpressive. Imagine if he had to face that 2018 Pacers 13 more times, he would definitely not be 14 - 0.
