Less disparity between the quality of teams competing in the postseason (at least in each respective conference), though I'm not terribly surprised by the 4-5 series being that way. Houston/Portland have the same record, after all. Atlanta winning in Indy shouldn't surprise anyone, and while I'm sure plenty around here are dumbfounded by the idea of Dallas stealing one of the first two in SA, it's really not all that surprising. The lower seeds are all very talented and driven. I'm a fan, honestly, it's good for the playoffs. Personally, I was glad to see Houston take Game 3 last night. While I'd rather the Spurs (potentially) face Portland in the second round, I don't want that series to end too quickly. 1) It's entertaining and 2) if the Spurs are to advance I'd want those two potential match ups to have beaten the out of each other first.
