When it comes to predicting the NBA playoffs, even the experts are striking out this year—and nobody is feeling that more than FS1's Nick Wright.

In a season where chalk picks have crumbled faster than a press break, Wright has publicly owned what many are calling "the worst NBA Finals prediction of all time." The First Things First host took to social media after the Boston Celtics fell to the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7, posting a screenshot of his preseason Finals pick with a brutally honest caption: "People are calling it the worst NBA Finals prediction of all time… and I’m not sure they’re wrong."

Wright isn't alone in the hot seat. Nine staffers at The Ringer also saw their Finals predictions go up in smoke after picking either the Celtics or the Denver Nuggets to advance out of their respective conferences. Both teams were sent packing in the first round—a stunning outcome in a league where favorites usually cruise through opening series.

To be fair, the Nuggets were a trendy pick in the West for anyone looking to zig while others zagged from the Thunder and Spurs. And Celtics believers had no way of knowing Jayson Tatum would be banged up and miss a pivotal Game 7. Just a few weeks ago, these predictions didn't raise an eyebrow.

But going 0-for-2 on Finals teams before the first round even wraps up? That's a special kind of miss—one that's now etched into NBA media lore. Whether you're in the studio or the stands, this season is a reminder that in the playoffs, the only sure thing is uncertainty.
