Will post a thread breaking down my picks when I get the time.
Likely in the next few days.

Indiana 4-2 Atlanta
Miami 4-2 Charlotte
Brooklyn 4-2 Toronto
Chicago 4-1 Washington

San Antonio 4-0 Dallas
OKC 4-2 Memphis
Los Angeles 4-1 Golden State
Houston 4-3 Portland

at the beginning of the season I picked Houston over Indy. I'm gonna stick by that, b/c it's what i do! But damn I wish it was Toronto v Washington in 1st rnd. That would've been a fun series.



If Indy and Miami don't get their act together, I honestly think the East is wide open. I wouldn't be surprised by any result in any series. If Charlotte or Atlanta goes to the Finals, I won't be surprised.

I think realistically SA or LAC are the clear 2 favorites in the West. Of course OKC has a shot, but I think Memphis upsets them in a close 1st rnd series. I like Houston, but if i was the type of person to go against my original picks, I think they'd lose to SA, if not Portland.

My dream Finals would be Houston/Portland/GSW v Toronto/Washington just to put some young stars at the forefront and get some fresh franchises in the Finals. Of course that won't happen. But sticking by my preseason guns and picking Houston over Indy.

Houston over Portland in 6. Houston over SA in 6.

WCF it depends. If OKC beats the Clippers and Beverley takes out Westbrook again, I got Houston in 6.

How do you only make 6 posts in 70% of a decade of having an account? How do you even remember the pass? Did you lurk for YEARS?

I will take it one round at a time...
East
Pacer vs Hawks..... Pacers in 6
Heat vs. Bobcats....Heat in 6
Raptors vs Nets......Nets in 5
Bulls vs Wizards.....Bulls in 7

West
Spurs vs Mavs.......Spurs in 4
Thunder vs Griz.....Thunder in 6
Clips vs GS...........Clips in 5
Rockets vs Blaze....Rockets in 6

Caveats......I'm rooting for the Spurs to go all the way..I think the Griz could upset OKC(Could but probably not)..If the Spurs reach the Finals, they will beat whoever they face.
