RULES: PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL

A total of 16 teams make the playoffs - 8 in each conference.

The teams are seeded as shown below
E-1 Miami Heat
E-2 New York Knickerbockers
E-3 Indiana Pacers
E-4 Brooklyn Nets
E-5 Chicago Bulls
E-6 Atlanta Hawks
E-7 Boston Celtics
E-8 Milwaukee Bucks

W-1 Oklahoma City Thunder
W-2 San Antonio Spurs
W-3 Denver Nuggets
W-4 LA Clippers
W-5 Memphis Grizzlies
W-6 Golden State Warriors
W-7 LA Lakers
W-8 Houston Rockets

Q1: Pick 5 teams whose seeds add up to *at least* 17 points. Note that the 5 teams can be from any conference.

For example, you could take the 1st seed from both conferences, the 4th seed from both conferences, and the 7th seed from the East, and your entry would be valid (1 + 1 + 4 + 4 + 7 = 17).

Or, you could take the 2nd through 6th seed from one conference, and that would be valid (2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 20).

Points:
20 pts for every playoff win
40 bonus pts for winning a Conference Title
35 bonus pts for winning the NBA Championship

Q2: Select one additional team as the overall NBA Champion (correct choice worth 75 pts). Note: Your choice for Q2 MAY BE, but DOES NOT HAVE TO BE one of the 5 teams you picked in Q1.

Picks lock first playoff game tipoff Sat 4/20 at 12n Pacific

Q3: Championship Tiebreaker. We will have a set of tiebreaker questions when the Finals matchup is set
