I've also started updating my playoff history chart and noticed one interesting data point. In the five playoff series involving Shackamaxon where I have data,* Michael's team is 5-0 in the first game of the series.
Matt should try to get this series over sooner rather than later, as Shackamaxon is 6-0 in Games 5-7 of the series, explaining why they won the last four series they played.
However, Shackamaxon's five previous playoff appearances also took place in the first six years of the league. So the data is a bit ... dated.
* I don't have the game-by-game data for the first season of the league, where Houston beat Stockholm in five games.
I don't have the game data either, Mack, but I seem to remember winning game one before the Armadillo express ran me over. Interesting data, and I hope it holds true.
