    What's more surprising?

    The near fact that two Texas teams that are a #1 seed will lose in the 1st round, or the fact that the Rockets have never been a 1 seed in their history?

    I said in another thread, but why is different being an 8th seed that year.
    everybody played 50 games.

    yeah the only asterisks would be that it was a best of 5 series taken from an 8 seed.

    they played a thrilling series against Miami and Indy, steamrolled through the Hawks, and fought hard trying to force a game 6 against the Spurs with no Ewing.

    again, it's the only 8 seed in the Finals, EVER

    It not really surprising in the West.

    The difference between 8 and 1 in this conference isn't much. It would be wrong to even call it a real upset.

    Because Deke's series was a lot better.
