8 games is an awful lot of basketball to watch in a day and a half, but I'm ready for it.

I've updated the form to remove the play-in losers. Two teams already scored 130 -- the Timberwolves and 76ers -- so that's reflected in the score.

If your pick in the Miami Heat or Phoenix Suns series would change based on who wins tonight's play-in games, post that in a comment and I'll update your entry. (I can't imagine it would, though!)
