[poo-doe wayne-o]

will boston be the first team in eastern conference history to hold the #1 seed and lose to the 8 seed in the first round?


edit: in a best of 7 series.

[Medvedenko]

Nope

If there was ever any possibility of it happening, you just officially jinxed it.

lets not forget, TECHNICALLY garnett should be suspended for game 5 in boston.

Wasn't Miami a #1 when they lost in the first round to the Knicks in '99?

Beat me to it.

So I guess the answer would be No.

It's possible they could be second, though.

1994 Nuggets(8) vs Sonics(1) ????

That was best-of-five. Of course, the way the Sonics were imploding, they would have probably lost a Game Six in Denver.

first round back then was still best 5

The Hawks are playing well but no. They won't win Game 5.

This thread fails on many levels.

Boston has shown they have exploitable weaknesses. They will lose eventually...Round 1, 2, 3 or finals, doesn't matter.
