Warriors
Interesting. Noted.

After pondering on it for a bit, that seems like a pretty bad pick. But my options are limited. I either pick to stay alive, which will probably result in me running out of picks; or go with a risky path that could still lead me to the finals. That involves picking the Warriors this round, which is the underdog of the match. I checked the injury report AFTER making the pick and realized both Curry and Green are out for tonight's preview game versus the Rockets. I pray to the basketball gods that Curry and Green come back well rested and 200% ready to go next Tuesday. In summary, I'm taking the risky path to still try to win this thing.

That makes sense. You have to project into a future where you won and then back out what path got you there.
Since we're up against people with more options than us, just surviving to the next round has a low win probability.
