NBA Bracket Challenge

Quite frankly, I don't pay much attention to the NBA because: A) it's a game where it's own officials don't call the most obvious infractions, B) those same officials favor certain players night-in and night-out, C) I think David Stern is the ultimate weasel, D) players don't try until it's the 4th quarter, and E) the guy whose parents had freakish genetics already gains a competitive advantage and is hardly an athlete.  That's not a security blanket for my picks, ultimately just my opinions on the NBA. So be it.
