Here is a preview of some games that we might be able to look forward to in the playoffs. Keep in mind that I’m not close to getting them right but I will get a few of the projections. If you think your team is better than I have the team slotted ahead of you then simply put your team name in that place and that might be your road to the gold ball. Remember, the best team doesn’t always win, some take the better path.
Keep in mind that my info that I’m making the assumptions on comes from information received from talking to a second grade Upward assistant coaches friend, watching a half of a NBA preseason game and a highlight clip on Overtime.
