Lots of upsets today in the Eastern Conference  :o

Miami Heat downed the Pacers to take Game 1
Was that an upset? I haven't seen anyone tip Indiana to win considering Sabonis is out. Or do you mean literally based on the seedings?

Not only that, but Oladipo left early in the game with an eye injury (I think he got poked in the eye). Only played 9 minutes before that. And went to the hospital afterwards to get it checked out.

I was wondering what happened (I only saw the last quarter). That it was that close is a pretty good sign for Indy if Oladipo can get back.

If he can't I can't see them winning this series

Eric Gordon and Kyle Lowry seem to adhere to the same school of thought - complain about everything after every play

I don't think I've ever seen anyone make scoring look as effortless as Harden does.

This video is a great insight into his awareness of the rules.

Ruh roh, May have a repeat of Bucks/Magic on our hands with the Blazers/Lakers matchup. Blazers look much more engaged and ready to play than the Lakers.

Lack of home court advantage seems to be real.  You can't take any team lightly and give less than 100% effort.

Man, Portland is doing really good at moving without the ball. Orlando did that well today, too.

Yeah these playoffs are going to be a bloodbath all the way through. Whoever wins it will have to earn it.

It's like Attitude Era WWF/WWE.

So it's a free for all and whoever is the most shocking gets a chance at the title?

That's how I want Portland to start and exploit the Lakers.

Hopefully, they take them out too.
