My picks:

Bucks by 8
Nets by 9
Clippers by 8
Celtics by 9
Warriors by 13
Pelicans by 9

I was hoping there'd be some tanking to count on this week but the scheduler wasn't having any of it. Even most of the playoff teams have something to play for.

My late season push, alas, has fallen short. Although, there's still time to drive to Ufez' house and cut his internet...

NoMich: If you get all four slam dunks I didn't pick, that's a point gain of 40 to 80.

Add another 10 to 20 on the dunks I did pick.

That's 50 to 100 potential points gained.

But each missed dunk on a game I didn't pick is a point loss of -15 to -25.

And each missed dunk on a game I did pick is a point loss of -10.

Guess I should take a bow for finishing last ... at least there's no relegation to picking G-League games!
