playoff upsets are considered that because dumb people hype up certain teams as unstoppable juggernauts without paying attention to matchups. The Magic defeated the Cavs 3-1 in the regular season in 2009 yet people like Bill Simmons considered them the 91 Bulls reincarnated. Warriors swept the Mavs in the regular season in 2007, i'll give you a pass on that one given you didn't start watching ball until 2008.

 

[ph33nix]

Not really.

The East plays against West teams only 1-1 a year and STILL they remain shitty. I'd argue that asking them to play the West more often would actually make them even shittier.

I just looked at the win totals to see if East scrub teams have more wins than Western teams, even while playing crappier competition....

This conference is shameful

 

[The Frankman]

Get the fuck out of here, Durant ain't 6'9. That's like Paul George being 6'8.

 

[Koko]

asshole 3's

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Damn KD.

 

[The Frankman]

Should've dunked it.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

would have been nice if kd made that

 

[The Frankman]

Why does OKC keep waiting so late to do anything? Are they not used to defense being played on them?

Remember a few years back when this happened:

http://espn.go.com/nba/standings/_/year/2008

3 of the top seeds in the East were .500 or below, while out West you had to win 50 games to be an #8 seed.

Or how about 2010?

http://espn.go.com/nba/standings/_/year/2010

All 8 out West again had 50 wins or above.

That's why I think #1 - #16 is fair.

#1 vs. #8 in the East is basically a 1st round bye.

Eating up clock. Kinda obvious, no?

 

[Psychological Intellect]

eeew kareem man tits

 

[The Frankman]

There's eating up clocking, then trying to initiate your PnR offense with 4 seconds left.

I mean sure the worst thing that can happen is still good (24 second violation), but you want the best outcome. Anticipate good D and have enough time to move the ball around.

 

[The Frankman]

lol LArefs already.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

k Howard better explode this game.

Been an NBA fan since 1986 when my dad took me to my first game as a kid.

You're ignoring Denver knocking out the Sonics in 94,but I forgive you since you were probably two. See how easy that works?
