On the set of Walker Texas Ranger Chuck Norris brought a dying lamb back to life by nuzzling it with his beard. As the onlookers gathered, the lamb sprang to life. Chuck Norris then roundhouse kicked it, killing it instantly. The lesson? The good Chuck giveth, and the good Chuck, he taketh away.

I guess the Lakers and Rockets must have played a second game three where the Lakers got "spanked".  The game 3 I saw was decided in the last two minutes.

The rest was expected, first game at home for some of these clubs should be blowouts, I was suprised LA kept it that close but bummed the choked in the closing minutes and those terrible plays called by PJ really sealed the deal for the Lakers loss.  Rockets where lucky to be on the right end of a player AND coach choke job.

All three games had a common factor in that it was the first home game for the lower seed.  The lower seeds and their fans are geeked up so this game is the most likely loss for higher seeds.  

If I were to rank these I'd say the most surprising loss was easily the Wolves. Not so much because they lost but because of the fact that they just got clubbed on all fronts.  Marcus Camby made his first three of the year for crying out loud! :blink:

Second would be Lakers losing to Houston given the fact that LA has so much winning playoff experience and Houston has almost no playoff experience, much less winning experienc.

Dallas wacking a Sacto team with little or no momentum coming into the playoffs is
no surprise.

That was bad considering the Lakers had the Rockets where they wanted them.  Franics just went off, he tried to do it again in game 4 put came up way short.

Yeah that airball from the top of the key at the end of regulation missed by almost a foot, then he followed that up with some poor ballhandling in OT.
