Making my picks for the SpoFi basketball contest, as I'm not sure I'll be around later today:

Golden State in 6

San Antonio in 7

Cleveland in 4

I'll reserve my picks for the fourth matchup when we get an idea of who it is....

Me too. I'm helping my kid move his stuff to another apartment.

Golden State in 7 Don't be surprised at an upset here.
San Antonio in 7 Same situation here, but it won't really be that much of an upset
Cleveland in 5 Atlanta actually played some decent defense against Boston. Could get 1 win vs Cavs.

Miami, Toronto, Charlotte, Indiana??? Pacers have surprised, Charlotte has played slightly above expectations, and Miami has finally found the combinations that work. Toronto has looked a bit disorganized at best.

Looks like the Jets might fill their biggest weakness this draft - a true scorer. Loads of young talent, looking forward to 2016/17.

With the management the Leafs assembled I'm hopeful that Matthews career doesn't get destroyed the same way that Hall and Nugent-Hopkins have.

And I hope Matthews is as skilled with the media as he is on the ice.

14 runs off of one legal delivery. It's the good ol' IPL.
