The worst thing about the NBA....

Also- the Warrios upset of the Dallas Mavericks in 2007 was arguably the greatest upset in the history of all spots.

There's nothing to argue, you were deliberately playing stupid.

it's relevant that baseball has less teams make the playoffs. having only 8 teams instead of 16 matters. with only 8 teams making it, it may seem like there are upsets because people make a big deal about wildcards going far when in reality the better team is winning. it's a lot easier for the 4th best team in a league in baseball to get hot and make the world series by winning two series than it is for the 4th(or worse) seed in a basketball conference to win 3 series to make the finals. this can easily give the appearance of more upsets in baseball.

By the way, on the subject of the 1994 Nuggets, they fell behind 0-3 to the Jazz in the second round but then actually won 3 straight to force a game 7. Meanwhile, the Pacers went from a 16-23 start to the regular season to a 3-2 edge in the Eastern Conference Finals! Best playoff year ever.
