1998 - New York Knicks 3-2 over Miami.


Last time a western conference 7th seed won:

1991 - Golden State over San Antonio 3-1. (what happened???)

Both 7's went on to lose in the 2nd round.


So unless Little D pulls off a miracle, they will be the first 2 seed to lose in the first round since the best of seven was introduced in 2003.

Oh and just in case you were wondering, only once has a 1 seed lost in a first round best of seven. Happened about 3 years ago or so:rollin

Usually the teams as strong as Spurs finish regular season in 7th place. We are an unusual 7th seed. :rollin

Just another entry in the proud playoff accomplishments of Jerk Nowinski & the South Oklahoma Choke Machine!

Don't you watch hockey? The flyers just beat New Jersey in a 7-2 matchup.

Hockey is for pussies who can't play basketball. :rolleyes

Hockey's a real sport? I thought it was just a documentary about Ducks and how Mighty they are.

Spurs are officially a 7th seed on paper but they aren't a typical 7th seed. Seeds 2-8 in the West are essentially all in the same boat....none really better than the other

1998 - New York Knicks 3-2 over Miami.

Didn't that series have a huge fight, resulting in Miami losing several key players? Miami would have won't that series if it hadn't been for that, if I recall. Anyone else remember this? Please correct me if my memory is faulty.

Agreed, the West was really tight this year... a lot of parity by the time the season finished out.

Disagree on one note - has seed #1 really separated itself from the pack? I'd argue seeds 1-8 are pretty similar.

NHL is for pussies?

Right.

I dont think so. In playoff they play really physical and its also fun to watch.

IF OKC wins Game 5 in LA, we might have both #1 and #2 getting bounced in the first round...I don't think that has ever happened before.

Anyone who thinks NHL players are even remotely close to being "pussies" should read this...

The guy gets six of his teeth knocked out, has the equivalent of several root canals, and then returns to the game! I DARE any of you to call that guy a pussy to his face.
