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.

We're closing in on 6k!
As always, all zaps to me on these posts and in the comments go into the victory pot.

Lakers please
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
Good pick. I would pick them too if I were still alive.
As would I, which should perhaps be cause for concern.
Haha, are we trying to be some sort of jinx team now that we're eliminated?
Maybe I should include my hypothetical picks in future post: "The guy who got eliminated by the Hornets would have picked ________ this round."
Can I go for the Lakers, Warriors, 76ers, and Bulls?
You didn't make a pick in the first round, did you?
edit: for today's games
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.
Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for it.
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.
That was a bit nerve racking, I imagine.
You should be fine. The Kings haven't been very good.
76ers
Could be a big night for Dr. J.
Damn, that was my reply all teed up.
Reminder, @riberet19 these games start tomorrow. Don't forget to get your pick in.
thanks for the reminder @Undisciplined, Warriors for me this time
