It was a horrible mismatch.
Charles Barkley was out of his mind to pick Portland to win the series.
I think the best 8th seed in recent history would have been Dallas.. Arent they the ones knocked out the no 1 seed?@tlance
"one of the best 8 seeds ever"
lol
yah. not likely.
I thought it would go 6 after game 1- but as a lot of people, including myself said before the series- the Blazers have no wings that can even get close to making a difference with LeBron and Davis.
when your 3rd best player is Nurkic- and i dont even know who your 4th best player is- you are DEFINITELY not one of the best 8th seeds ever.
there was a Griz team that took down the #1 Spurs if i am not mistaken. The baby Thunder took the eventual champ Lakers to 6 games one year--- and i think the Mavs pushed the Spurs to 7 but i dont think they won- but it was an amazing series.I think the best 8th seed in recent history would have been Dallas..

Portland played one really great game for 24 minutes and the Lakers could have done better

look,
Lillard is great.
McCollum is probably a top 30 guy.
nurkic is probably a top 60.
after that? who is the next best player? do they have another top 100 player? its just gross.
their lack of wings in a league where you need wings was always going to be their biggest drawback. They had no one with length and athleticism that could guard a LeBron or Davis or Kawhi or George or whoever......not that anyone can "guard" those guys- but at least put up a fight.
The Blazers had some of those guys last year that could at least put up a fight and not be laughed at in Aminu, Harkless, Hood, etc.
In 2007 the # 1 seeded Mavs got upset by the Warriors. Other times the 8 upset 1.
1994- Nuggets upset SuperSonics 3-2
1999- Knicks upset Heat 3-2
2011- Girzzlies upset Spurs 4-2
2012- 76ers upset Bulls 4-2
Since 1983 the 1 vs 8, the #1 seeds are 67-5. In 2003, they extended the 1st round to 7-game series. It only happened twice from 83-03.
#1 - The first time it happened was the 94 Nugs were down 2-0 to the Supersonics, they came back and won 3-2.
#2 - The best 8 seed...without a doubt has to be the 99 Knicks who went to the Finals.
#3 - First time an 8 seed beat a 1 seed in a 7-game series. The Warriors beat the Mavs in 2007. They had Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson and JRich. Baron averaged 25 in that series.
#4 - Memphis took out the Spurs in 2011 where Randolph outplayed Timmy lol. Beat them in 6.
#5 - In 2012, the 76ers beat the Bulls in 6 led by Holiday and Iggy but DRose tore his ACL in Game 1.
Yeah, that was far more impressive to me then watching Portland do a choke job these last four gamesIn 2007 the # 1 seeded Mavs got upset by the Warriors. Other times the 8 upset 1.
1994- Nuggets upset SuperSonics 3-2
1999- Knicks upset Heat 3-2
2011- Girzzlies upset Spurs 4-2
2012- 76ers upset Bulls 4-2
That Thunder group could have won three or titles if the ownership had been willing to pay the players..That was so stupidthere was a Griz team that took down the #1 Spurs if i am not mistaken.
