Most consecutive NBA first round playoff losses?

The Game Room

My sucky Knicks have the record for most consecutive playoff games lost but try as I might, I can’t find which team was the worst of the best the most years in a row. That is which team has made the playoffs and then eliminated in the first round the most years in a row?

Now that I think about it, I’d like to know which teams have broken their fan’s hearts the most years in a row.

I think the Timberwolves hold the record with seven consecutive seasons losing in the first round.
