Has a #1 seed ever been swept before?

He's better than average defensively. All those water-bug point guards know how to defend. It's the slightly taller point guards such as J.Teague that are soft -not taller enough to contest shots and not low enough to the ground to unnerve the dribbler.

cavs intentionally gave up the number 1 seed to boston cuz bron wanted to face wade in eastern finals.

Its not about height, but how big you play. Thomas doesnt play like he's 5'9 and thats all that matters. He can get to wherever he wants on the floor. Bulls sugar coated their way through the season, I can see the veteran Wade prob explaining to them dont kill yourself in reg. season just learn how to gel and play together, would be nice to see Bulls play Wiz next round but I think Cavs up next.

If Bulls win, they will face winner of Wiz/Hawks.

His defensive real plus minus numbers....and the eye test, tell a completely different story.

They never felt like a 1 seed. Wish them well next year with New York and Philly coming up. Toronto never impressed me either.

New York?

Are Dolan, Melo and Jackson all leaving?

Bulls- Cavs should be excellent series.

Bulls- Cavs should be excellent series.

bulls would face washington/atlanta winner if they beat celtics lol
would favor wizards in that matchup , guards way to fast for rondo/wade

Ahh ok, that seems silly to me if thats the case. Since better seeds play worst in this type format, seems with Bulls being 8th seed theyd need to always be playing the highest seeds.

Is "real plus minus" the same as in espn boxscore? If so that means nothing and is a meaningless stat.

[IBetYou]

Eye test is all you need really. How much separation is the opponent getting on pick & roll pull-ups? How easy is it for the opponent to get where he wants? I don't care too much about post-ups since most teams don't like to do that anyway.

Thomas is feisty, like C.Paul. Teague in the Pacers series kind of takes it lying down -it's hard to watch!

Blackhawks will not be swept
