he's not gna list 5-6 out of 8 series tbh
Yes I agree, but the thread le is biggest surprises so far and the OP is focusing on around the league. It is pure DENIAL for spurs fans to not be shocked at the sub par performance.

The Korean-Italian-Armenian is mad as ITT....
Italian Armenian found your high school photos
I am a singing at the party. Everybody dancing, happy party. But spurraider21 is not dancing he does not dance at the party
Definitely the Wizards going 2-0 agains't Thib's Bulls
I'd say Spursfan aren't happy about it, but Spurs are always a strange animal, especially in the playoffs. There aren't any real superstars on the team, maybe Enrique but he gets shutdown easily. Rather they're a sum of their parts and execute better than anyone else, but it doesn't mean they can't get discombobulated at times.
If Mavs win then it's time for Spurs to take a new approach, but I don't these Spurs are going down easily, not at this stage.
overall most shocking so far would be 1)Rockets/Blazers. I didn't expect Rockets to give up 2 games already. 2)OKC/Grizz. I figured this would be a dogfight but Grizz are much tougher than people realized. 3)Wiz/Bulls. Wiz are looking pretty good, especially for the East.
Indiana is the most shocking. Even with their late season meltdown, nobody thought Atlanta would give them a run for their money like this. Portland-houston is surprising as well, but its a 4-5 matchup, and neither team is really battle tested in the postseason, so anything could happen
I suppose we'll see tomorrow if this is just another Spurs acting odd phase or not. I am dissapointed as Miami is probably ing all over themselves at another easy road to the trophy.
weird scheduling. spurs-mavs getting 2 nights off between each game, Memphis-Meth only getting 1 night off between each game
tbh, in the last 10 years or so, we've split the first two games at home in the 1st round like half the time... we ended up winning the series most of the times, but 1-1 shouldn't really be shocking. Plus it's Dallas here, not Utah or some scrub team like that.
Indiana's fest I didn't really expect, but they've been laying eggs since the ASG, so you kinda got a warning... Rockets dropping both home games is worse
Who gives a ing , his team is at home as his silly ass is..........
8th seed tho. I would actually be happy to see Spurs win over Miami, it would bring actual joy to my purple and gold heart. No
sure, but it's not the east 8th seed. I mean, Dallas won almost 50 games. No excuses though, Spurs should get their heads out of their asses and play a lot better.
Memphis and it's not even close. They have no offense. They don't even attempt 3's. And OKC has 10x more talent across the board than they do. And yet they're up 2-1. Just incredible. I'm literally shocked. I can't imagine them winning another game. But then again, I couldn't imagine them winning either of these last 2 games and they did somehow. Still have OKC in 6 though.
Second biggest surprise is Portland. Houston has a better bench, the best player on the court (Harden), more talent overall, AND home court advantage. Yet they're down 0-2 to a young Portland team with little to no playoff experience. I guess I'm surprised because I didn't see Harden choking this badly, even know we've seen it from him before...(2012 Finals vs Heat). But I guess I should have figured with Dwight Howard in the line-up something had to go wrong for them.
And third...gotta go with Dallas being tied up 1-1 with my beloved Spurs. We just haven't played with any kind of defensive intensity in the first 2 games. And we've gone away from what makes us great--our depth and ball movement. I expected our role players to struggle...but not with Dallas. They're all a bunch of old guys too. They shouldn't be able to guard us. And we should be able to shut them down defensively. Very disappointing...and unfortunately, surprising.

Definitely the Thunder/Grizzlies series tbh.
I saw the Rockets/Blazers series as a toss-up, the two teams are virtually in the same placement in the standings. I figured the Mavs/Spurs would go to six so I'm not really surprised its split.
I had no idea the Thunder would falter like this...
Mchale hasn't even tried doubling Aldridge yet...that sort of incompetency is mind boggling.
This doesn't exactly instill much confidence either: http://instagram.com/p/nKXQ_RIYnB/#
How is that mummified zombie a head coach of a possible le contender?
Guest team leading the series 2-0 over the Rockets surprised me most of all. The Guests played rather poor since february, dropping to the 5th and having to fight the first round without HCA, but now they look like a different team.
look for a blowout tomorrow favoring the spurs
dont think them mavs have enough fire power to take these spurs in a series. wont happen
