My favorite teams
they took omer out for the 4th quarter and GS came roaring back
Pelicans completely blew it. They had the W in the bag.
MOST LOPSIDED FIRST ROUND EVER?
Three teams now hold a 3-0 lead in the first round of the NBA playoffs, and 4 more teams will have the chance to grab a 3-0 lead in the next two days. This could wind up being the most lopsided first round since 1983-84, when the NBA moved to a 16-team playoff format.
Those series are far and few between.Definitely a far cry from the 2009 epic first round matchup between the Bulls and Celtics :elephant:
Holy crap those are some close games...Those series are far and few between.
This is probably one of the greatest series in NBA history, too bad nobody saw it:

Game 7 went to 2 OTs.
This comes in a close second, and was the conference finals..
(1) Boston Celtics vs. (3) Philadelphia 76ers: Celtics win series 4–3
John Hollinger of ESPN.com ranked this as the greatest playoff series in NBA history[1]
- Game 1 @ Boston: Philadelphia 105, Boston 104
- Game 2 @ Boston: Boston 118, Philadelphia 99
- Game 3 @ Philadelphia: Philadelphia 110, Boston 100
- Game 4 @ Philadelphia: Philadelphia 107, Boston 105
- Game 5 @ Boston: Boston 111, Philadelphia 109
- Game 6 @ Philadelphia: Boston 100, Philadelphia 98
- Game 7 @ Boston: Boston 91, Philadelphia 90
Yeah..While the Bulls-Celtics series wasHoly crap those are some close games...
Rondo screwed my boy Ricky CarsI'll say this as well, a handful of these series we knew were not gonna be close (GSW/NOP, CLE/BOS, ATL/BKN, CHI/MIL). Portland and Toronto laid eggs in the playoffs (perhaps to no one's surprise) so there's another couple series and we're already at 6/8. Because Rondo caused Dallas to implode to go along with the Parsons injury, there's another series that got lopsided. There's your 7 out of 8. I don't think any of those are overly shocking.

Hollinger ranked the 1981 Eastern Conference Finals as #1.. not the 57 Finals.Hollinger wasn't alive. But he ranked it #1. Seems like a totally legit opinion on a series that wasn't fully archived.
