of course lakers!

hey vin, u gonna need any $ help??

nah i'm straight, as long as like 100 people dont enter

just hope not everyone picks lakers, or u'll be paying up huge $

hmm ur right that'll be $1000 a person

i guess we could split the bonuses or something

Lakers all the way!

im gonna pick the NETS! With kidd and kenyon back they will be a monster

Lakers don't have a chance. I like the Pacers they have the best record and would have been even more impressive had they not had all the injuries midway. Now they are all healthy and that Reggie can hit nearly 100% from ANYWHERE! This is their year. Sacramento and Dallas are close behind... My choice is Indiana.

final brackets are set
