    LMAO at Stephenson going streetball, and dribbling it off of his foot! Does he think he's Sebastian Telfair?

    Top seeds need to start winning. I won't like our chances if we tip off and all the other bottom seeds have won.

    @ESPNStatsInfo: Pacers are the 4th 1 seed to lose to an 8 in Game 1 since 2003. The last 2 times that happened (2011 and 2007), the 1 seed lost the series

    I suppose you could call the Toronto game an upset, but I have the Nets winning that series in 6 games. DeRozan and Lowry against the veteran Nets seemed like a mismatch to me, on paper. I didn't expect the Raptors to lose game 1, though.

    Why? Each game happens in a vacuum.

    Because I'm superstitious, or something else irrational...the same reason my Trob jersey isn't allowed to touch the floor or be washed after a win.

    Edit: I also went to the Miami and Dallas game this year, wore my Lillard jersey both times. I swear every time I touch that jersey on a game day the blazers lose.

    It almost looks like a set-up to me, though! Did Griffin forget to put the water in the Sprite cup tape under his seat? Then, after being doused in "Sprite", the fan would pour a second cup on himself, because the Sprite is just that good! OK, maybe not.

    That's clearly obvious by Griffin. Will he be fined for it? I understand being upset with the refs, but deliberately throwing a cup of water on an opposing fan seems to be pushing the envelope. Griffin's lucky that fan took it in good fun, so good on that fan!
