Kevin Love now officially ruled out for the playoffs. We'll see if they can still reach the finals like I originally predicted

C'mon Bucks!

I had bulls in 6 and clips in 7. I think I'll be up top if the clips win because most on here picked Los spurs

I had bulls in 6 and spurs in 6. We're both wrong but i'll be a little less wrong tomorrow.

****. Freaking Raptors lost and it ****s up all my EC matchups.

Will post standings in order after conclusion of tomorrow night's game.

West Texan the early leader with 11 of a possible 14 points to date.

If the Clips win tonight I'll pull out the first round with 9 points by picking 4 series exactly correct, losing 3, and winning 1 with the amount of games not correct. Bottom line... I will have gotten extremely lucky if the Clips win tonight.

I will take my two points for the Clippers series, thank you.

You remember that scene in Wayne's World 2 where Cassandra goes backstage at a concert but the bouncer won't let Wayne in? Wayne says, "Hey, my girlfriend is in there!" and the bouncer replies, "A lot of people's girlfriends are in there."

Thought of it tonight when the Spurs lost. "Hey, my bracket is busted" "A lot of people's brackets are busted."

A little data mining reveals:

• 16 of our 37 entries(43.2%) saw their predicted champion get knocked out tonight.
• Broncos and MagnoliaAg were the only contestants to pick both the Wizards and the Clippers in the first round.
• Both of them missed the chance of a perfect first round by picking the Trail Blazers.
  

Our Leaderboard Through the First Round (the highest score possible would have been 16 - all 8 series right plus 8 bonus points for correct # of games in each).

Update? I got my two teams in the finals...not much else went right in my bracket.

Updated: If you have one star by your name, it means your champion is still alive. If you have two stars by your name, it means both your Finals teams made it. If you have three stars by your name, it means I made a typo, don't get a big head.

AggieJosh2002, The SCHW4B, and Original No Olive can all still win.

• If Cleveland wins, regardless of # of games, SCHW4B is your champion.
• If Golden State wins in 5, AggieJosh2002 gets the title.
• If Golden State wins in 6 then Original No Olive takes it.
• If Golden State wins in 4 or in 7, the tie-breaker will actually come into effect, can you believe it? Josh picked 103 for Golden State, Olive picked 112.

CFTAXG10 will henceforth be known as the Atlanta Hawks for being the front-runner throughout, then not reaching the Finals, finishing with 25 points.

In all 9 out of 36 contestants got both teams correct in the finals. Congrats, you are the elite 25%.

Nice. I love these pick 'em things, thanks for setting it up.

Significant improvement ranking wise from last year.. Thanks again for setting this up!

Let's go Cavs!!!

meh, I had a good run for not really following the NBA very much during the regular season. Had SA won that opening round series I'd be sitting pretty I think.

Thanks for doing this. Always fun

Blue star for Muck for doing this every year. Fun stuff

I do not regret any of my picks. Knew the Cavs would be there, but my Rockets fell a little short. Good luck to the rest of you guys that are still in it!

As we head down the stretch in Game 6, a bit of a refresher

If the Warriors win tonight, No Olive wins the pickem.

If the series goes to Game 7, 3 people will have a chance to win the pick'em.

SCHW4B if Cleveland wins.
AggieJosh2002 if Golden State wins and scores 107 points or fewer.
No Olive if Golden State wins and scores 108 points or more.

People who pick with their heart.

I'll take 9/36 for having the finals matchup...but hating the Rockets and picking my Mavs over them was really really stupid.
