Well after the first wave of games, three of the four teams who hosted lost. OKC, LA, and Chicago all lost to teams they were believed to win over.
LA was thought to own Dallas. Atlanta was not supposed to win and especially not win without having Hinrich who was going to be the main Rose defender. Both went on the road and won when unexpected. OKC came in as the talk of the league and getting good press as a team to dethrone LA. They promptly came out and played like they were entitled. I expect them to come out and play with intensity for the remainder of this series as they realize that Memphis is for real. None of us were happy losing Game 1, but just look around the league and see we arent the only ones to drop a game we were not expected to.
