NBA Play Off Challenge: Pick Em Brackets

Post #1 » by **Bensational** » Mon Apr 14, 2025 11:18 am

I figured that for some fun we can all submit our picks for the playoffs and see how we score. I'll do an average of everyone's picks here in this first post and we can track how that grades out, too.

Feel free to copy and paste this bracket and add your winner picks in. I'll put it in a spoiler box to save room whilst scrolling the page.

I don't understand the rules, but me picking the Magic as NBA champions this year is the obvious outcome of my "ballot".

And against OKC, as Silver's head would explode on the "ratings" for that match-up.

It's always fun watching the super-rich cry because they "lost" 100M and now only have 2B.

UCF Jaybird is the only one on track to pick the full play-in round. The rest of us are gonna have distorted brackets from here out, haha.
