For the few of us who remained dedicated Sacramento Kings fans all the way through game 82, the season ended with a whimper. The Kings teased us with occasional strength, but ultimately drove us crazy and fell way short of expectations. Now, our only hope is that they somehow finagle an early pick in the upcoming draft and look to rebuild what is truthfully not a very good team.Until then, our friends at Ballhype are ready for the next stage: playoffs.
The site is offering Ballhype users the option to choose the winners in each round of the NBA playoffs, just as is popular during March Madness with the NCAA college basketball tournament. Unlike the typical March Madness bracket however, Ballhype will allow you to change your picks after the series have started and give you more credit if you picked against the grain. The earlier you pick correctly, and the fewer the people who correctly selected as you did, the more points you get. Should be very interesting to see how this shakes out.
As of today, my pick to win it all? Houston. Over the Cavaliers. I anticipate being wrong.

Going for the slightly-better-than-underdog approach, Louis? If you're right, it looks like you're well positioned -- 3625 points estimated right now. http://ballhype.com/contest/nba/playoffs/2007/bracket/louismg/(Mine is at a paltry 1633 potential points since I picked the Pistons over the Spurs.) But I'll bet you'll be redoing your picks before the end of the conference semi-finals.
