Definitely a bigger upset. The Bucks are playing without their best player. Nobody thought they had a chance of winning more than one game let alone the series.

The Boom Diddy Warriors were always kryptonite to the Mavs. Seemed to beat them every time they played even in the regular season for at least a couple of years there. I don't think it so much surprised people that the Warriors could beat the Mavs in the 1st round, it was just exciting that they actually pulled it off.

Bonk and I both picked the Hawks to sweep them.

I picked them to be the new champs.

of the WNBA?

of the Wisconsin YMCA league?

I disagree. Didn't the Mavs win 66 games that year? I mean think about that. That's more than any teams win in most years. And this years Hawks - they are about the 6th-12th best team in the league. IMO the Warriors over the Mavs is a MUCH bigger upset.

Yea they won 67 I think. But still, the Warriors SWEPT the Mavs during the regular season and had owned them for a couple of years. Dirk won the MVP, but probably because he's white and Euro over anything else. This was at the height of the "Dirk is the biggest choker in the NBA" sentiment, which he then proceeded to choke against the Warriors.

I don't really consider that a huge upset. The only reason most people do I'd say is because it was a 1 seed vs. an 8 seed. If you don't look at the seeds it was not an upset at all.

And just one more reason why the NBA needs to adopt the D-League rule where the top seeds get to choose what bottom seed they want to go against in the 1st round of the playoffs. Such an awesome (& more fair) rule!

Yes, agreed.

Question: "Hey Antoine Walker, why do you shoot so many 3's?"

Answer: "Because there are no 4's."

BonK NOW ONLINE Administrator Posts: 3899 Thank you received: 216 Howls: 14	I just checked my NBA PickNRoll bracket i filled out before the playoffs to wager v. College Wolf on - here were my picks: Lakers in 5 (damn - i almost said 6) Denver in 7. Ouch. Phoenix in 6. yessss Dallas in 6. Good for the Spurs though. Cleveland in 5. Alright! Boston in 7. I figured they always go 7 in the 1st round... Magic in 4 - Yes! I'm proud of that one. ATL in 4.

Geeeez my fault. Apparantely I can't read. I already checked again and still thought that's what I had picked, and had typed out my response, then I checked AGAIN and realized I was reading it all wrong. My bad, thanks for callin me out. Damn, it's gonna be almost impossible to catch you since we have the same finals matchup...

Once again, either I can't read, or it's not showing what series lengths you predicted for this round... I had picked LA in 7, Dallas in 5 (egads), Cavs in 6, Magic in 5.

No worries, not like I'm mad or anything. I was just confused. I was looking at your picks and thinking "Huh??????????"
