Ufez scores two more points by picking Utah's upset in 7 games, climbing into the lead at 17. No one had Chris Paul as the highest series scorer.

Now that we know what tbd stands for, it's time to make the final choice. The real question is whether or not Utah can steal a game from Warriors. I think a lot of us are going to look really dumb if Utah wins the series. Golden State in 5, Curry +1

The scores are in the previous discussion. How did I not pick Westbrook to lead his series in scoring?
