The NBA Thread
As much as I love the knicks, we beat the heat when they didn’t have lebron, d.wade or chalmers…. That’s like 1/3 of the heat team right there, maybe more.
The knicks also beat a healthy heat team in miami earlier in the season without melo so I’m staying hopeful :D. I’m hoping we don’t get the bulls in round 1.
I think Pacers v Heat in eastern and spurs vs denver in west.
NBA Playoffs are up!! Here we go!!!
My pick, Heat Vs Thunder for the final…

Lets go, my boys! Celtics are going down!
We will sweep you guys again…
Ok i couldnt even keep a straight face typing that
Here we go! Do any of you guys have League Pass or Team Pass?
Should we have a playoffs bracket contest?
My prediction: Miami beats OKC for the championship.
Probably can’t win it this year with what we got but I’m sure they’ll give everyone a good run for their money.
If people want to do a fantasy bracket, post your teams here (I’ll put mine up) And I’ll make a spreadsheet to tabulate scores for people 
.
Lets say round 1 = 1 point per correct game and 2 points if you pick the correct amount of games.
round 2 = 2 points per correct game and 3 for correct amount
round 3 = 3 points per correct game and 4 for correct amount
Finals = 5 points per correct game and 10 for correct amount.
You only get points if the team you pick to win wins. So if Miami beats Phili and the Bulls Beat Brooklyn, but you picked Miami and Brooklyn, you get no points for any Bulls wins but you do for Miami wins etc.
Or we can go who wins each series and how many games?
Round 1 = 1 point for choosing the winner, 1 point for how many games
Round 2 = 2 points for choosing the winner, 2 points for how many games
Round 3 = 3 points for choosing the winner, 3 points for how many games
Round 4 = 4 points for choosing the winner, 4 points for how many games
So I will go
Round 1—OKC 6 | MEM 5 | SAS 7 | GSW 6
Round 2—OKC 5 | SAS 4
Round 3—OKC 7
FINALS—MIA 5
Round 3—MIA 7
Round 2—MIA 5 | IND 6
Round 1—MIA 4 | CHI 6 | NYK 5 | IND 6
Here is the playoff picture if anyone needs:
1 down, 15 to go. Let’s go Heat! 
Knicks ftw =p
Looks like the bulls just got home court advantage!
And Chicago ties it up 1-1 with Brooklyn.
Last second win for the Clippers. CP3 is a machine.
Last second win for the Clippers. CP3 is a machine.
That game shouldn’t have come down to the wire… But wow what a last by the Clippers!
Watching the Heat vs Bucks game now. Heat aren’t playing well, up by 3 going into the 3rd quarter.
Miami… Now 2-0
