Franchero MVP 391 Report post Posted April 13, 2010 Why not just make one with the real brackets? At least that way we can have some sort of statistics on it's predictability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Hi-Top 791 Report post Posted April 13, 2010 Interesting that Orlando and Charlotte match up here as well as in RL. There are three cross conference matchups in the first round. A first round match up of Dallas vs Miami should be interesting, and a nice chance for Dallas to exact some measure of revenge against the Heat. My personal favorites here, as far as msot likely to be hard fought battles, would be the Denver vs OKC, Atlanta vs Boston, and Utah vs SAS matchups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywise316 211 Report post Posted April 13, 2010 I went for two upsets, San Antonio over Utah & Oklahoma City over Denver. To me OKC-Denver would be a coin flip right now, probably to the team who has HCA. I just can't pick EVERY fave to win, so there you go. I was tempted to go Miami over Dallas.. but Dallas is just too darn deep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostAnime 50 Report post Posted April 13, 2010 Lol I'll never trust the suns again in the playoffs. Especially without Robin Lopez. They aren't getting through one of the best western defensive teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
