2060 sats \ 10 replies \ @gnilma 20 Apr \ on: Stacker Sports- NBA Playoffs Round 1 Stacker_Sports
As much as I would love for the Heat to beat the Celtics, I'm not delusional and would like to maximize my chances of winning 2k sats. I don't think the Heat stand a chance against the decked out Celtics without playoff Jimmy. Here are my picks.
Celtics Knicks Pacers Cavaliers OKC Nuggets Suns Mavericks
I think Clips/Mavs and Knicks/76ers will go 7. So 2 series going 7 games. Wish everyone good luck and may the best picker win!

Thanks! I'm feeling pretty arrogant with the 7/8 result, that I'm telling my son I'm the basketball guru. Need to remind myself to stay humble haha. And most important of all, thank you again for hosting the pick'ems. Definitely makes the playoffs more fun for me.

Haha, I will enjoy it while it lasts. I have a bad feeling about my round 2 picks.

It sounds like Jimmy could be back for the later half of the Celtics series. Just imagine how Boston would feel it the Heat steal one of these first games with Playoff Jimmy coming soon. They looked pretty good last night.

I saw the highlights for last night, it looks like Herro and Jaquez Jr. both had one heck of a game. I'm not sure if Jimmy can make it back in time before it's too late, but it would be a really cool story if the Heat can make this a long series, even if they were to lose the series. Seems everyone is counting them out and all odds are against them. I love an underdog story.

It might not have come through on the highlights, but Kevin Love had a great game too. He shot a ton of free throws and made a bunch of great passes.
They got Duncan back, which is huge for them. I'm not sure if they're getting Rozier back or not.

Love showed up on the boxscore. He got 16 points, which is almost double his regular season scoring average.

He was really aggressive in the post, but he missed a bunch of the layups he got fouled on.
I won't be surprised if they upset the Celtics in the opening game. I'm eager to see if Jimmy can teach Jaquez how to go at the Celtics. If there's a ghost of Playoff Jimmy on the court, the Celtics might implode mentally.
