I knew one day wouldn't have been enough time. Right now we have ballots from less than half of the people who participated in the first round, so feel free to get them in today before the first game starts.

There's the saying "it's not a series until someone wins on a road" for a reason. I've seen a lot of blowouts that have been meaningless in the greater picture of the series.

Then again, the Spurs looked really really good.

Round 1 standings. Paul George missed missed the PPG top spot by 0.2 points, so nobody gets that bonus, otherwise Cool Buff Man would have jumped up to #1.

Also I got 2nd round ballots from a bit more than half the people who participated in round 1, which is about what I expected.

i'm kind of oddddddd

my first round was devastated by key injuries and Kevin Durant's Worst Game Since Rookie Season. I don't see how you could possibly score those games against me when all my picks were sensible and well-informed. The game is rigged and the fix is in. Also I picked POR 6 vs GSW because I thought Steph would be back and Dame and CJ would have their way. Livingston is a far harder matchup, more like a POR 7 kind of thing but I suppose it's too late to change. I still don't believe in the Raptors at all so my pick is:
