Oh, damn! My bad, dude! It was honestly unintentional. I'll edit the OP to include you.
I write down everyone's picks as I see them, and I must've accidentally skipped over yours after I posted my own picks.

Damn that was a rough week for everyone

I moved up to #1 though

That Howard's wager killed me. I lost 3pts there. How can Dwight fcking Howard shot 0 free throws in a game? F|_|CK!

Man, I swear it's like the Spurs' games outcomes are always the opposite of what I predict. If I predict they'll win, they lose; if I predict they'll lose, they win.
