If the Chicago Bulls win this Series against the Miami Heat, would it be the BIGGEST Upset of All Time ?

Betallsports · May 7, 2013

in Any Sport ? or just the NBA ?

wouldn't even be the biggest upset in nba history, #8 seed 1994 denver nuggets down 2-0 in best of 5 and cranking off 3 straight against heavily favored seattle would still get my vote...

milwaukeemike · May 7, 2013

in terms of pure numbers, splitting the juice miami was around 25-1 favorite to win the series right? that's not even buster douglas territory, let alone stanford over usc as 41 point underdogs

Yea, it's worth a mention and that's about it...

Mr_Mark · May 7, 2013

would be one of the biggest upsets, not sure I would rank it at the biggest though

Shub · May 7, 2013

I think it would be pretty big considering the fact that rose, Kirk h and deng are all out. Not to mention playing against a 4 time MVP and defending champs.

^^ oh it would be huge.

but not "biggest upset in the history of sports (or even the nba)"

Your Denver Nuggets reference fits, but this one is apples to oranges. A 7 game series vs a 1 game upset isn´t even in the same ball park imo. A boxer can catch a shot and go down after dominating. A football game can be one sided and five turnovers can level the field...but this is a 7 game series. Obviously its far from happening, but it would rank above a boxing match or a football game.

Biggest upset was the miracle on ice...

You play that game 10 more times and the Russians win every one...

A bit premature???? I think they have a cream or ointment for that. :laugh:

Big..but no where near historic.

an 8 seed losing the first two in a 5 game series just means win two at home and one on the road right? nice comeback but i'd give this dengless, roseless bulls the nod if they pull it off

they wont

Agree Heats were 30-1 favs at greek to start....

This isn't hockey, football or baseball. NBA series are by far the most predictable sport in the playoffs...

The NYG beating the undefeated NE Patriots would be much larger in my opinion.

much bigger upset there imo than the game 1 upset...but to win a series is a bigger feat. if ne played the NYG in a best of 7, i don't think the giants take it

lol what? NYG was a 4-1 dog in that game. Happens all the time.

And yes as far as series go I think this would be the biggest if Miami were to lose.

Agreed. A 9 point favorite going down in the nfl isnt much. That Stanford upset is tenfold bigger, and this injury riddled Bulls team taking a seven game series against the 4 time MVP, one that many want to annoint the greatest would take all.

The NYG were not a 9 point dog in that game as I remember. Was 12-13 if I recall.

Still doesn't change that fact that a 12pt dog winning happens quite a few times each season

and if you play the stanford/usc game 1000 more times usc wins every one...

miracle on ice, odds were 17-1 or so (based on analysis here http://vancouver2010.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/22/how-miraculous-was-the-miracle/ ), magnitude of the game made it feel like a bigger upset
