East play in

Philly and Heat advance

West play in

Lakers and Kings advance. I’m obviously more confident of the East than the west.

Dang, Kings without Monk beat New Orleans on the road?

To be honest the teams are close enough that anything can happen in a one and done game

 

[msgkings322]

Every series pick is people saying in 6 or 7, proving what we already knew, these teams are very close and really anything can happen. Especially the 3-6 seeds which were separated by only a couple of wins.

Are we doing the old name how many games they’ll win it in piece as a part of the prediction? You could do 1 point for a series win and then 2-3 bonus points for calling the right number of games.

Yeah that is a good idea. Maybe just another point for calling the number of games. So max 2 per series. I don't want it to get too crazy.
