Yes, I underestimated the Celtics desire to make the playoffs and it appears I overestimated the Raps ability to make layups.
Your lazy analysis has screwed us for the last time.

I look forward to the Celtics defeat in the quarterfinals. I have no idea who they play but I am cheering for whoever it is.
Not sure if I should be cheering for Warriors to win by 12 or not. I haven't used either Warriors or Kings but do I really want to rely on the Kings in a playoff situation.

Do you want to rely on Draymond not punching someone in the nuts and getting ejected?

LOL
And looks like the Knicks will be the East wild card, with 3-1 and +42 points differential. So I've officially burned 3 playoff teams from the east, Bucks, Celtics, and Knicks, while rocking 1 strike. Yay! Or is the wildcard not conference oriented and calculated based on all teams?

It was a close game until the Raps missed about 5 layups in a row. Not exactly lay ups but shots within a few feet of the basket.
I guess you are taking the Pacers.

I preface my remaining picking strategy by listing the playoff teams I've already picked: Bucks, Knicks, Celtics, Suns. Basically half of the playoff teams...
I don't think Pacers vs Celtics is a good matchup for Pacers. Haliburton probably gets shut down by Holiday, and they don't really have an answer for Prozingis. And then there is still Tatum and Brown to deal with. Celtics just have too much talent and scoring for Pacers to handle, plus the Celtics can and do actually play defense. But then again, I don't have a choice, do I?
Maybe I will attempt to prolong my inevitable demise by just a little bit and pick the Pels or Kings, as I really don't think Pacers can beat the Celtics. But then again, I could be wrong, and I had been wrong numerous times... This pick is hard.
