    ATW, is there a place doing a bracket contest for the NBA playoffs? I guess you just took the image and filled it out?

    nba.com I see has drive to the finals where you pick a player each day

    I picked the Nets last summer, and you know what? I am going down with the ship. The Nets WILL win the Eastern conference. Its going to be a 2010 Celtics type of run. I really believe Pierce and Garnett will get one last defeat on Lebron. The last couple years the pressure was on Garnett and Pierce, this time they have Johnson, Williams, Plumlee, Livingston, etc.

    This is REALLY how I feel right now, and I am confident this is going to happen.

    Award time! Not predictions, my picks.

    MVP: Kevin Durant. Easy pick. Not voter fatigue either, he just pltayed out of his mind. Lebron #2 then it's really up for grabs for number 3.

    Coach of the Year: Pop. No Spurs player averaged over 30 minutes a game. Best record in the NBA. Non Pop answer, Casey in Toronto or Carlisle in Dallas. Horneck could have gotten it if the Suns made the playoffs. Oh Tom T also.

    Defensive player of the year: Joakim Noah.

    6th man of the year: This was tough, I take Ginobli slight edge over Crawford.

    Rookie of the Year: Uhhh this was tough. I'm going MCW but Oladipo works for me too.

    Most Improved: Kyle Lowry although there a ton of candidates for this

    http://Nets.com cyber-squatters redirect site to Raptors' homepage http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/24531816/netscom-squatters-redirect-site-to-raptors-homepage… Master troll game.

    It did redirect to Knicks.com for a while and thanks to GordonGecko for noting that this wasn't something the Knicks did which I thought from a tweet. They were redicreting to the Knicks for a while, I remember it from earlier this year after getting my memory jogged.

    Ohh that's tough. Numbers and play point to Spurs/Heat rematch but how often does that happen? Heat for 4 finals in a row is tough also but the East is weak.

    I'll choose what I want, Thunder over Heat in 6 in the finals. I think there's probably around a 10% chance of this matchup happening.

    The other matchups are all worse than 21/1:

    NBA NBA Finals matchup
    Sat 4/19 12:30PM
    Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs +297
    Miami Heat vs Oklahoma City Thunder +400
    Indiana Pacers vs San Antonio Spurs +706
    Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder +965
    Miami Heat vs LA Clippers +1020


    Implied odds of 25.19% for the first, 20% for the second.

    If you remove vig, a little less.

    I would go Heat/OKC if I had to choose, as well.

    I wish there was man. I just did a print screen of the bracket, and then used MS Paint and typed in my predictions haha.

    I agree with all of these, except the 6th man. If a player starts starting thru the year, do they not qualify then? It's gray for me. A shot in the dark though, I think Dion Waiters deserves a few votes. J Crawford, and Nick Young deserve some love too. Also, I owned Noah this year, and completely agree. The guy is a beast. I got him for Wade too.

    There's some %. I saw Ginobli being considered by NBA writers so I figured they knew the rules :)
