  1. rooting for the spurs and thunder tonight to assure that the pelicans are the 8 seed.

    10. philadelphia (via the lakers)
    11. charlotte
    12. la clippers (via detroit)
    13. la clippers

  4. it definitely looks like a very solid crop.  i've seen things i like from justify, mendelssohn, magnum moon, audible, good magic and vino rosso.  then there are horses like bolt d'oro, enticed and solomini who i like as well, just a bit less than the first crop.  looking forward to magnum moon vs. solomini in the arkansas derby this weekend.

  5. so tomorrow's most meaningful games:

    1. denver @ minnesota - obvious.  play in game.

    2. utah @ portland - winner is the 3rd seed in the west.

    3. milwaukee @ philly - a philly win gives them the 3 seed and the inside track to the ECF.

    4. spurs @ pelicans - playoff positioning battle.

    5. memphis @ okc - russ goes for 16 rebounds and back to back triple double seasons.

     

    should be a fun finale in the association.

    Ok so how does this work? Do we just post our predictions on this thread?

    correct.  anytime after the playoff matchups are official tomorrow night and tip off of the first game.  i'll keep up with the scoring on this thread as well.

    for anyone who isn't reinvesting fantasy basketball money with me, you can paypal/venmo your $25 entry to cade747@gmail.com.  just make sure it's in by tip off of playoff game 1.

    Has this been the rule in the past? I can't remember.

    And I'm definitely in.

    it definitely was last year and i think maybe the year before.  but there have been years in the past where it wasn't.  just feels like you should have the entire series correct in order to get the bonus.

  8. so if feigen's tweet is true, i think these are the scenarios:

    spurs beat pelicans = rockets vs pelicans first round.

    pelicans beat spurs, wolves beat nuggets = rockets vs. wolves.

    pelicans beat spurs, nuggets beat wolves - rockets vs. spurs.

     

    all of those are based on the thunder beating memphis.  should they somehow lose that game, they'd be tied with at least 2 teams with 35 losses and i don't feel like running down all those tiebreakers right now.

  9. aren't  you one of the people i'm gonna owe fantasy basketball winnings to here in a few days?  you could always just "reinvest" $25 of it.

    i also had an idea for a playoff eliminator pool for something like $10/person where you pick 1 team every day of the playoffs.  maybe that's a different thread though.

  10. suns are locked into the worst record and memphis is locked into 2nd worst.  then there are three teams "fighting" for spots 3-5: atlanta, orlando and dallas.  all three have one game left.
