Regular Season Finale AftermathRegular Season Finale Aftermath

It's with a heavy heart that I must report, at 1:00 pm EST, the Cleveland Cavaliers committed a war crime against our survivor pool. Don't worry, I've already submitted our case to the UN.

The good news is that we were up to 9 participants. The bad news is that we are down to 5. @gnilma, @Coinsreporter, @IamSINGLE, and myself were civilian casualties in a senseless atrocity against basketball itself.

Round 2Round 2

The following round will be on Friday: the winner of Warriors/Kings will face the loser of Lakers/Pelicans and the winner of Hawks/Bulls will face the loser of Heat/76ers.

I'll get the post up for that round on Thursday.

Lakers please

reply

Got it.

I meant to shout you out in the post. The Spurs were by far the best pick of the day. You're a lock for any tie-breakers and you've got the full slate of teams to pick from.

Lakers

reply

Good pick. I would pick them too if I were still alive.

reply

As would I, which should perhaps be cause for concern.

reply

Haha, are we trying to be some sort of jinx team now that we're eliminated?

reply

Maybe I should include my hypothetical picks in future post: "The guy who got eliminated by the Hornets would have picked ________ this round."

reply

Can I go for the Lakers, Warriors, 76ers, and Bulls?

reply

You didn't make a pick in the first round, did you?

edit: for today's games

reply

Oh, no I didn't Maybe I'll get in on the next pool.

I think there's going to be something for the NFL draft, next week.

reply

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for it.

reply

Wow. And I came within a point of joining y'all. That was a hell of a bloodbath.

I'm betting the Warriors will come out and play.

reply

That was a bit nerve racking, I imagine.

You should be fine. The Kings haven't been very good.
