    I love a good implosion in the postseason. Watching a team do everything it can to win (foolish or not), only to fall apart when it matters fills me with beautiful schadenfreude. These NBA Playoffs had a ton of these outcomes. While there was a good bit of chaos on the surface (a seven and an eight seed in the conference finals), it's a return to order in disguise as chaos. The teams deemed to be favorites at the start of the season ascending to the top, as expected.
    It just went about in different ways. This video goes over them all. Even if your team lost, at least you aren't the Mavericks.
