The Spurs minus Manu are not sweeping the Mavs. The Mavs always play the Spurs tough and match up pretty well with them.

Way too many upsets here. I tend to think that the higher seeds will do far better than what you have.

The only matchup I'd say favors the Mavs is Howard vs. Finley and Howard is not 100%

Maybe so, but I am telling you, the Spurs will not sweep them.

I have the top two seed meeting in the finals....
And in fact I have all the higher seeds advancing in the 1st round

I'm messing with you man. You don't have a single series in which the better record team loses.

Well really I think in a bizarre way Denver over New Orleans would be sort of an upset despite the seeding. It's really tough for me to pick Denver.

And I'm sure plenty of people will be taking the Heat over the Hawks in a 4-5 matchup

My picks are in trouble a bit. NO looks awful, Spurs look old, Portland isnt ready yet.

3 of 8?

Ouch...

I had 6/8

Normally I wouldn't do that, but given his history, I thought it was fair game.

Yeah, serves you right for picking against the Hawks
