I think we should make a playoff bracket to make things interesting.

Top 4 teams with the best percentages make it as seeds 1-4 and then the top 4 from the remaining with the most overall wins make it for the 5-8 seeds. Higher seeds get the tie-breaker automatically and it's head to head pickem each week. Winner advances.... Thoughts?

 

[bksballer89]

Heat fans are in 3 of the top 4 spots.....And they say we don't know basketball lol
