Research Notes
San Antonio's win makes it just the 4th time under the current playoff format that a team swept each of the 1st 2 rounds of the postseason. That might not be as great as it sounds. Each of the previous 3 lost in the following round with Miami the lone squad to take the Conference Finals to 7 games. [-]
Swept 1st 2 Rounds of Postseason - Current Playoff Format
Result
2011-12 Spurs ?
2009-10 Magic L, Conf Finals
2008-09 Cavaliers L, Conf Finals
2004-05 Heat L, Conf Finals
* 1st round expanded to Best-of-7 series in 2002-03
We're not those teams. I believe in us a of a lot more then I believe in those Magic, Cavs, and Heat teams. Gotta believe man. It'll be a tough series no doubt, but if we play Spurs ball we can do it. Go Spurs.
All those teams are inferior to the Spurs team now.
Fock
Meh. Mediocre teams can sweep series in the East. Most years, the first two rounds are byes for the best teams in that conference.
the only solace i took was that they were all eastern conf.
That's because b2b 4 game sweeps means you got the easier path.
We did sweep through two rounds in 99. And won the le. In a lockout season.
tbhfwiw
ROFL... this is one of those stats that is like... huh? WTF does that have to do with spurs?
We beat Minny in 4 (3-1) in the first round then swept lakers/blazers then beat NY in 5.
oranges and apples tbh
Exactly. And those teams arent anywhere close to being on the Spurs level....
um...they kinda just swept their first two rounds...?
Damn it. I forgot that.
Me
WOW Spurs are only a gazzillion times better than those teams.
I hear that teams that put their left shoe on before their right win the Conference Finals 78% more often than those that does the opposite. I'm really concerned...I'm pretty damn sure the Spurs go right/left - not left/right.
fuk yo magical thinking clown
The OKC series will be tough but we match up well with them and have HC.. We can win in 6 and if not game 7 will be in SA.
Go Spurs Go!!
No ?
The statistic is irrelevant... none of the teams or their situations are related.
This isn't like saying that a team down 2-0 or 2-1 or 3-0 has an x percent chance of winning the series...
@docrostov
the last team in the WEST that swept the first two rounds? 2001 lakers. they went 16-1 in the playoffs.
I hit the imaginary "like" button
The last time it was done in the West I think was 2001. The Lakers won that year with a 15-1 record.
Rofl the eastern conference since 1998.
All 3 are East teams without championships and drama queen as leaders
05 was a young dwhistle who only won with the biggest officiating job in nba history
magic was led by howard whos team was exposed as garbage and howard was exposed as a ty human being
then you have the lechoke one man teams
way different then 4 time champ spurs on an 18 game winning streak with a complete team
