HALIBURGERS over Benno

The round in one tiny disaster movie

Daily picks + bracket pain

Round 2 stopped being a fun little basketball contest and became a tiny hedge fund for emotionally unstable playoff opinions. The group was right often enough to feel clever, then immediately got humbled by a game where all 11 people picked SAS and Minnesota won 104-102.

The bracket was mostly chalk, except for the Detroit-shaped trap door. Seven of eleven picked DET over CLE, Cleveland survived in seven, and HALIBURGERS quietly cashed the exact 4-3 like someone who had already read the script.

Cleanest daily round: Wallace, 14-6 for 140 points.
Best bracket round: HALIBURGERS 🍔, 112 points.
Cleanest winner reads: NZ Bulls and Chef Curry🧑‍🍳 both went 4-0 on series winners.
Worst groupthink moment: MIN over SAS Game 1, 0/11 correct.

Series-by-series bracket chaos

OKC beat LAL 4-0

10/11 picked OKC. No exact hits, but the winner read was basically group consensus prophecy.

8/11 picked NYK. The daily picks still kept trying to talk themselves into Philly. It did not work.

SAS beat MIN 4-2

9/11 picked SAS. Exact hits: Eddie Da Boy, The Admiral, NZ Bulls, Big Booty Rad, and HALIBURGERS 🍔.

CLE beat DET 4-3

Only 4/11 picked Cleveland after 7/11 backed Detroit. Exact hit: HALIBURGERS 🍔.
