This is usually the case, but from what I can see things are way different this year. The Spurs nearly lost to the Mavericks, the Pacers lost to the Hawks, the Warriors beat the Clippers...it's only one game in each series but there were upsets all over the place this weekend. I think it's a given we'll see Miami in the Eastern Conference Finals, but other than that it's way more up in the air than usual.
