Playoffs starts today (yesterday in the US), and fantasy season is over.
Joyful Chicken finally wins his first championship in our league but that's another story. Since we're such NBA Geeks, we thought (well I thought and he agreed) that it might be a good idea to make predictions and wager on it. So we did. We're doing it ala
True Hoop's Stat Geek Smackdown. Rules are simple, 5 points for predicting the series outcome, and extra 2 points for predicting the number of games.

Series to take a special look at is the Dal vs Por one. This will be the difference maker of 5-7pts in round 1. 3 other series that might potentially give one a 2 point advantage apiece are the Mia vs Phi series, the LA vs NO series, and the OKC vs Den series.
