"A future team? They're good now! Don't doubt DeRozan anymore. Look, we'll see if he chokes again in the playoffs, and they're still filled with young guys so even if they lose, it's all good. They've already surpassed expectations.

"Finally, a good Eastern Conference team! This is where it gets interesting. The top end of the East is way more competitive and better than the top of the West, where they're pretty much 10 or 11 deep. It should be an interesting playoffs for both conferences, but it would surprise me to see the West take the entire thing."

Still though, put this team in the East and you probably have a 7th-8th seed, but regardless, this is why we play the games!"

I will give 20 minutes for any sort of lineup changes from any of the play-in teams, it'll start at 12:30 EST. You can only change at this point and no other until the playoffs begin tomorrow. I'll then accept any lineup stuff from any of the playoff teams at that point. I'll sim the entirety of the playoffs tomorrow at around 8 PM EST.

So yeah, any changes, please do it in the next 20 minutes or forever hold your peace.

Also if anyone has predictions, let em rip!

Playoffs will begin tomorrow around 8 PM EST. I will accept any lineup changes or minute changes from playoff teams until then via PM. Any past 8 PM EST tomorrow will not be accepted. You can only change this ONCE. The playoffs will finish tomorrow, so we're not changing it round by round. This is a one time change only.

Good luck! Should be some really good series with some nice rivalries and teams that match up well against each other.

Put some predictions down as well, I'd like to see who you guys think will win these series.
