several weeks ago, Vegas gave Boston & Philly the best odds to win the East. Vegas smart. 

Vegas not so smart

It's easy. Look at the roster. In 7 game series, the best players should win.
PHI and BOS have the best starting 5 that isn't GSW. Any of them could win it all if GSW has an injury to one of their all star /MVP level players.

TNT probably crying that the Kawhi final shot bounced in..... TV ratings won't be nearly as good for Toronto vs Bucks

Philly vs Bucks would have been fun.

Greek vs. Claw will be fun .  Who will cover Greek  - Siakam?  I bet Gasol is happy he doesn't have to face Embid anymore. His brother is on MIL right? (but injured)

Round 1 - seeds 1-4 won in each conference

Round 2 - seeds 1-2 will probably win in each conference

Conf Finals - 1 seed wins each side

has that ever happened in NBA history? 

11 of 12 completed series had the higher seed win, the exception Portland (3) beat Denver (2).

13th and 14th series are the Conf Finals.  The 15th series - the finals.

Denver showed their youth in the 4th quarter.  CJ McCollum with a crazy Game 7 where he just took over the game down the stretch.

Not sure why Harden often disappears late in big playoff games.  Lots of late game heroics during regular season for Harden...... but in the playoffs not so much.
