Hmmmm it should definitely be a Cleveland win. Atlanta could squeeze a game out but ??? they didn't look that scary. Will Cleveland have an off night? Probably. But if GS can have an off night...so can Cleveland.

Spurs should definitely win but how many do OKC take...I wanna say...zero lol.

I missed the 1st round, but I'm still gonna start making picks for the fun of it.

CLE over ATL in 5
SA over OKC in 5

[Blueobelisk]

Ya of course. I'll update scores round by round anyway, until the Finals when everything accumulates.

I'll start adding the picks to the sheet l8er. I'll wait until like. I actually need too. I want the first round to still have some spotlight.

[-aiko-]

Man it seems like the Raptors' offense is moving way too quickly. They aren't taking their time to set anything up and I'm surprised it's working.

[Blueobelisk]

Oh shit. Tomorrow ONLY the SAS OKC game will be on. I'm already enjoying it. I love it with one game per day.

I took a nap so I should be up late. I'll PM everyone to get picks in. Theoretically we could get three game 7s, or we could get the end of the first round, based on tonight's results.

Also, they scheduled Monday for ATL/CLE. I guess they potentially have 3 games on Sunday already if none of these series finish.

Wow I think we're looking at two game 7s. Pacers/Toronto/Miami/Charlotte are all looking to get into that action to be knocked out by Cleveland in ECF. They really want to face each other.

[Rennadrel]

Fucking Raptors are the biggest choke artists out there. DeRozan thinks he should get a max contract when he doesn't show up every night in the playoffs? Yeah right!

[Blueobelisk]

Second round prediction:

Cavs in 4.
Spurs in 4.

I'll take the risky route. Atlanta is in bad form. (Not that Cavs are much better.) Spurs are in great form.

[-aiko-]

It'll be really surprising if the Raptors manage to come back. This is just really ugly. DeRozan and Lowry need to be sat.

[Blueobelisk]

Pacers fucking took this shit to game 7.
Reminder that all of us chose Toronto to win. Arqentum, Stommped, and bestellen thought it would go to 7 though. Rest chose 5 or 6.
I don't feel so bad that I chose them in 4 now.

Miami Charlotte game is pretty close though.

Oh god I just saw a Wendy's commercial and now I want.

Wade just made a good throw at 19.5 secs left to put Heat up 95-90. He went on interview saying he didn't know how this group of guys would act under the pressure of being eliminated. He looks okay. Not like he'll get another ring in his life but he's okay.

Wow Charlotte inbounded and went for a layup and Dwyane blocked it. It was more like deflecting off anticipation. It wasn't athletic lol. He barely got in the air jumping.

Miami wins! Charlotte-Miami goes to game 7:
3 people (Falt, Stomp, bestellen) chose Charlotte to win series.
4/13 (Falt, Packers01, bestellen, and sheffield) chose this series to go to 7.

Well. LAC can force game 7, or Portland can move on to lose to GS next round. Let's see what happens.

- - - Updated - - -

Portland home crowd really wants this win.

DeAndre Jordan lookin' like he regrets backing out on Mavs.

- - - Updated - - -

Wow it was so close every play mattered and Portland wins.

Portland knocks LAC out in 6.
3/13 picked POR. Congrats Itachi, Demon, -aiko-.
2/3 picked Portland in 6. Congrats Itachi and aiko.

Current point leader is now -aiko- with 30. (Picked GSW, POR, OKC, SAS, CLE, ATL as winners all correct so far. Underlined ones had correct records.)

Fucking LOL at the commenters saying Clips can't get a team together and that they get bounced in the first round again.

Austin Rivers went hard.

[Racthoh]
