Both #1 seeds going down in the first round

What are the chances?

There is a zero percent chance Milwaukee loses to Orlando. They likely still win in 5.

There is a chance Portland beats LA. LA has a flawed roster and is missing two key contributors. I still think LA gets by them although in 6 or 7 games. They won't shoot this bad going forward.

Portland actually played very good defense for an entire game. They look playoff ready after having been in nine straight playoff games, while the Lakers were coasting. But some of that is the Lakers not hitting threes, with Davis and Lebron looking tentative late in the fourth. Looks like a tough 7 game series for the Lakers, unless they shoot a lot better.

I seriously doubt Orlando has the firepower to win more than two off the Bucks.

Lakers had one of their worst 3PT shooting games ever, they got away with doubling guys and leaving shooters wide open, who happened to brick those shots, they're not going to get away with it on a consistent basis. What happens when Green makes 5 threes in a game? Also, Lakers missing 4 straight FTs is a huge fluke as well, that usually doesn't happen, I think they came out rusty after coasting with the #1 seed locked up, they were down 16 at one point and then had a 6-point lead with 8 minutes left in the game.

For Orlando, I'm not sure they'll shoot that well for the rest of the series, and I doubt Middleton sucks for the rest of the series either. They beat the Raptors Game 1 last year as well, we know what happened.

Its just game 1. Bucks lost to the c’s in their first game last year too by 20+ points, then they went on to win the next 4.

[Derka]

Insanely low but if there was a year where it could happen, this is it.

[STATUTORY]

not impossible, both 1st seeds are led by ball dominant non-pure scorers who rely on their teammates to be succesful

these type of players frequently get exposed in the playoffs

[Roundball_Rock]

They deserve it for taking a vacation for 8 games while other teams were playing hard.
