It's not the first time a #8 has beaten a #1 (Dikembe's Nuggets did it to the Sonics and the Knicks actually made the Finals as an 8-seed in '94, I think); but it's the first time it's happened in a 7-game series.

And I don't even think it's the worst loss in playoff history, to be honest, for all the reasons that I mentioned in a previous post. They played the Mavs great all season. It wasn't a lucky fluke; it was just a really bad match-up for the Mavs.

It's also the first time a team with that many regular season wins has lost in the first round.

Not that I'm paying attention or anything.

I fear the Bulls.
