Encouraging note of the day (well, not if you're a Pacers fan): Teams that started out 0-2 on the road, and then came back to win their next 2 at home to tie the series have still lost the series 83% of the time.

 

I bet that's only 5/6 total.

38 of 46 total.

More research:

 

Over the last 25 years, only 5 times (including this year) has a 1 seed won their first two games by single digits. Previous teams:

- 2010 LA Lakers - Won NBA title

- 1998 Chicago Bulls - Won NBA title

- 1989 Detroit Pistons - Won NBA title

- 1987 Boston Celtics - Lost in NBA finals

And because I'm bored...through 2 playoff games, which player leads the NBA in Hollinger's postseason PER (player efficiency rating)?

Yeah, I knew it had to be a lot more than that because the Pacers have been involved in 5 series like that since 1994. The team without homecourt advantage didn't end up winning any of the series.

 

The Pacers did it 3 times in Eastern Conference Finals in the 90's (Knicks, Magic, Bulls). They lost all 3 series in 7 games. The year the Pacers went to the NBA Finals the Knicks did it to them in the Eastern Conference Finals before the Pacers recovered to win in 6. Miami then did it to them in 2003 and the Pacers again recovered to win in 6.

Apparently I'm not quite as bored as some, in comparison.

 

CP3?

He's actually 4th, believe it or not.

Oh dammit, why did you have to remind me of that team? WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FINALS.

The funny thing about that is those 4 teams all won the title the previous season. You could make the assumption that, having known what they went through last season, have have paced themselves through the first round.

 

Either that or because they played into June, they weren't running at 100% at that point.

I know DRose's PER is higher than CP3s but I'm guessing you wouldnt have asked that question if the answer was Rose.

 

Probably someone obscure like Aaron Gray, but I'll say D12.

Yeah, I'd imagine there weren't many people doubting the legitimacy of any of those teams. I was actually surprised how little it happens. Sure, there were plenty of 1 seeds that had at least one blowout (or at least a 10 point win), but there were also a surprising number of 1 seeds that dropped one of the first two games.

Rose 3rd, D12 2nd.

 

EDIT: The answer is more obscure than Dwight Howard, but less obscure than Aaron Gray (who is 84th).

Kidd's hit like 10 3s and he's shooting like 70 percent, it has to be him. PER is real friendly to small samples

Seeing Jared Jeffries playing on the Knicks gives me the same feeling.

Who was Indiana's center that year? I remember him being a total stiff and then inexplicably dropping 20 on us. Nevermind, I dont want to think about it.

And Brandon Roy has been, by far, the worst player in the playoffs according to PER. #147 out of 147. Ouch.

 

Keith Bogans has been awful as well (in the 130s).
