The Play-In Tournament starts tomorrow, so we need to make our picks quickly.
For this round of the contest, you just need to pick a team to make it out of the Play-In Tournament. Remember that you get the point value of the team's seed. Here are the options:
East
7. 76ers
8. Magic
9. Hornets
10. Heat
West
7. Suns
8. Blazers
9. Clippers
10. Warriors
I already have picks for @grayruby and @gsc360 (Suns and Clippers, fwiw)

Thanks for tagging me. I'll try to make my pick before game time today.
Thanks for reminding me! Being busy..
I got an email from NBA Bracketology. Is there any tournament using that this year, like there was last year?
Not that anyone has told me about
I realize my comment is confusing. I was emailed just that it’s live for this year, not that I was added to a particular contest
@gsc360 are you doing a nostr NBA playoff contest this year? I forget the site you used last year but that was pretty fun.

I created the group and allowed late entries I'll create a post in a bit
Got the email from them today, let's do it?
Suns
Got it
Tempted by hornets, but going suns for the moment
You got it
these picks count towards only being able to pick each team once, correct?
Yes. In fact I just changed my pick for that reason
Hornets
They have to win both games correct?
Switching to the Suns, but not because of the two games. I want to save the Hornets for later and there's no way I'll want the Suns later.
You are saving the Hornets for the Pistons series?
Better to have them and not need them
Are we out if we lose a round?
nope, you just get zero points
A big swing in the first round might not be a terrible idea.
Yes
I like the Hornets and the Clippers but I will stick with the Suns. A couple extra points doesn't seem like enough of a gap to take a team that needs to win 2/2 instead of a team that needs to win 1/2. But I do think the Hornets and Clippers probably end up as the 8 seeds.
No risk it...
Magic
Got it
Warriors
Welcome to the party
I didn't read the pick rules, i need to change my pick to 76ers, how's the ruling on lack of attention?
ok
