I'll make this quick and dirty, as I'm mid-way through the process of packing up the house and getting ready to move a whopping 5 miles away, but let's do this for round one, eh? Pick the winner and number of games (1 point for correct winner, 2 points for correct winner and number of games. 0 points for incorrect winner and correct number of games) East Boston vs. Atlanta Detroit vs. Philadelphia Orlando vs. Toronto Cleveland vs. Washington West LA Lakers vs. Denver New Orleans vs. Dallas San Antonio vs. Phoenix Utah vs. Houston Bonus for the first round, worth 2 points each, to make a perfect first round worth 20 points: Pick the player with the highest scoring average in each conference.

Also, don't forget, even though Utah is a higher seed than Houston, the Rockets have a better record and, therefore, the home-court advantage.

East Boston (4) vs. Atlanta Detroit (6)vs. Philadelphia Orlando vs. Toronto (6) Cleveland (6) vs. Washington James West LA Lakers (6) vs. Denver New Orleans vs. Dallas (7) (only to be contrarian; NO could easily win) San Antonio vs. Phoenix (6) Utah (7)vs. Houston Kobe (This is one thing I like about NHL picks. There's so much more variance, especially when it comes to individual performances.)

Whoops. There goes that Detroit sweep that I predicted... (This is one thing I like about NHL picks. There's so much more variance, especially when it comes to individual performances.) Yeah, this round was put together kind of slapdash. I'll try to come up with some better wildcards for round 2. Hopefully things will have settled down some by then. Plus, I like having more points possible with each subsequent round. For the finals, I'll try to have a veritable buffet of points available. Any suggestions are welcome. Feel free to e-mail.
