Did you really just predict the Blazers to win the title?

Yes, going for the unthinkable.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Your bracket is wrong anyways the Blazers woudlnt even play the Nuggs in the 2nd round.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

That's the third round, not second.

Lakers over Hornets in 6 (why not, I'm still picking them to win)
Blazers over Mavs in 6
Spurs over Grizz in 6
Nuggets over Thunder in 7

Nuggets over Lakers in 7 (upset!)

Btw you got it wrong though. 2nd round we play the Lakers not the Spurs. Spurs would play the Nugs/OKC

The NBA doesn't have highest seed play lowest seed?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Yeah that's right, I remember having trouble with that last year too. Confuses me with how the NFL does it.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

So instead:

Lakers over Hornets in 6 (why not, I'm still picking them to win)
Blazers over Mavs in 6
Spurs over Grizz in 6
Nuggets over Thunder in 7

Nuggets over Spurs in 6
Blazers over Lakers in 7

It's a bracket... Not really confusing. LOL

1/8 plays 4/5, 2/7 plays 3/6, winners play in conference finals.

SAS VS MEM: SAS in 6
LAL VS NOH: LAL in 5
DAL VS POR: DAL in 6
OKC VS DEN: OKC in 6

CHI VS IND: CHI in 4
MIA VS PHI: MIA in 4
BOS VS NYK: BOS in 6
ORL VS ATL: ORL in 7

I meant confusing as in it's different than the NFL playoffs.

 

[elcheato]

Denver/OKC vs Heat in the finals, with whoever faces the Heat winning. I would pick Boston but I think there struggles at the end of this year are different then last year.

Bulls knocked out in the 2nd round via Magic.

 

[.infamous]

OKC VS HEAT finals would be sick

you;re not picking the lakers?

 

[elcheato]

No, I don't want to see them again, they've been there enough. Need new faces. I don't wanna see the Heat there but since I have the Bulls going out round 2, I don't see anyway they lose.

I don't want Boston vs LA again. That's been played out enough.

I think that's kind of why I picked Portland, tired of the same teams in the finals.

THUNDER BABY!

 

[jonathanlambert33]

That would be a refreshing finals.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Spurs over Grizzlies
Thunder over Nuggets
Lakers over Hornets
Blazers over Mavericks

Thunder over Spurs
Lakers over Blazers

Lakers over Thunder (would switch if Bynum is out)

Bulls over Pacers
Magic over Hawks
Heat over 76ers
Celtics over Knicks (really want to pick the upset but can't)

Magic over Bulls
Heat over Celtics

Heat over Magic

NBA Finals cancelled, league locks out early, so we don't get a winner that America doesn't want either way

[jonathanlambert33]
