California, Land of Golden Nuggets and Golden Sunshine but ever so Warrior like in 5
Dennis Schrderr will be the most Hawkish with techincal fouls.
J.R. Smith of the Land of Cleves in Ohio will make it rain the most from three-point land.

Here are mine from yesterday's huddle.
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.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Adding the bonus picks here:
Disagreeable person (technical foul): C. J. McCollum (Talk about an off-the-wall pick.)
He who shoots from far away (3-point shooter): Damian Lillard (Wins the duel with Klay Thompson)
See you tomorrow with the Miami vs ??? pick.

As I start to type this, Toronto is up by 5 with 6.5 seconds left and Indiana with the ball. I think I am safe in predicting the Toronto vs Miami series.
Miami in 6 Toronto struggled mightily against a fair Pacers team. Miami will pull the upset.
