Official 2015 NBA Playoffs Pick 'Em Bracket Challenge

Sure, glad to hear you got it.

Hope to see your bracket next year.

 

Yeah, somehow I knew the Wizards would perform better than Toronto in the postseason. They seemed to have superior playoff chemistry -- especially last year. Toronto (3rd seed) couldn't even get passed Brooklyn (6th seed) in the first rd last season.

Whereas, Wizards (5th seed) crushed the Bulls (4th) seed (without Rose) 4-1 to advance.

I usually put more weight on prior playoff performance (factoring injuries, of course) than regular season performance. I'm just not sold on Casey/Lowry.

Wall, Beal, Pierce, Gortat -- that's tough.

I've got Wizards in 6. :grin:

1st ROUND RECAP

Differences in scoring among brackets are mostly attributed to TWO series: Raptors vs Wizards (with only 7 brackets correctly picking the Wizards) and Spurs vs Clippers (with only 10 brackets correctly picking the Clips). What an EPIC seven game war that was! Unreal.

There were a few that incorrectly had Blazers over Grizzlies. Everyone had the Hawks, Cavs, Warriors, and Rockets advancing.

2nd round results should separate contenders from pretenders. This is about to get really interesting. Stay hungry. Stay humble.
