No. 8 seeds have only won the first game of the series three times in NBA history; you can make it four after the way the Atlanta Hawks manhandled the Indiana Pacers. If you watched the game than you know it was just plain bad for the home team, but if you are a fan of the home team you aren't surprised.
Sadly, this has been the norm in recent weeks.

Jeff Teague making Evan Turner look like a fat white guy on the playground (something I know a little about) and Roy Hibbert getting rejected with incredible intensity--not unusual. For some reason the Pacers seem to have lost it; like they've forgotten how to play competitive basketball.
If they don't want to become the sixth No. 1 seed to lose their first round match-up they are going to have to figure something out--soon (maybe the starters need another night off).
