Hey. They've won four championships under Duncan. I think those will weigh more heavily in annals of NBA history than this.

Losing to an 8th seed. How embarrassing. The Spurs have become an answer to bar trivia.

What a waste of a season.

They're not the first no. 1 (in any basketball game) to be thwarted by a lower seed (Kansas-VCU, anyone?)

Dallas was the first seed in 2007 and they lost to the eighth-seeded Warriors. Miami and Seattle did the same in the '90s when the first round was still best-of-five.

But it's still embarrassing.

It's not THAT bad. If an Eastern Conference #1 seed lost in the first round, they'd be losing to a team with a sub-500 record.

I know they're not the first, but it's still pathetic.

Maybe they shouldn't have played for the #1 seed, haha. They would've gone up against the Hornets instead.

Now let us watch as the Mavs, who are seemingly unstoppable, coast into a series against OKC or Memphis and fall flat on their faces.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2011

This is going to sound dumb, but I still have the Bulls winning this whole thing. Thibs is a good coach, and after they pass the Hawks, they match up well w/ the Heat and the Mavs.

Still in shock to see the Lakers go out in such a classless way. Adios Phil.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2011

Yeah the Odom/Bynum crap was pathetic.

The Odom thing I thought "meh, punk move but maybe dirk said something to him after those botched free throws".

But the Bynum thing was straightup classless garbage. Dude should be suspended for 15 games at the start of next season in my opinion.


Also, back to the Bulls. NO WAY they win it all unless Boozer starts putting up 20/10s. They're not even going to get to the Finals with Derrick Rose doing everything by himself. Rose can't win 4 games against the Heat or Celtics alone.
