Well that was quite a weekend of upsets. Makes me wonder how much it has to do with preseason playing time. Seems like lots of playoff teams rested their starters almost the entire preseason, while younger teams needed to get new guys reps. I wonder how much the 17 game schedule has to do with that? On one hand, game 1 counts for the same as game 17. On the other, getting a guy hurt preseason would certainly suck. I think a lot of teams go with the "just win early games somehow and its a win-win" theory. One truth about professional sports is that anybody can beat anybody, they are all professionals.
And just in case, I'm not talking about any particular team or games.
