Boston vs Miami, go basketball, but I'll root for Miami if O Really is.
Go Golden State > Phoenix (hopefully) or Dallas, Boston or Miami!

Crap, Mavericks won series 4-3. I'm 2-7 in 2 rounds.
Golden State and Mavericks are lower seeds that won. A 1, 2, 3, 4 advanced from Round 2 and a 1, 2, 3, 4 lost.Vrede too wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 10:21 pmI'm only rooting for 1 higher seed. Ut-oh.
