2008 NBA Playoffs Pick’em Contest

Basketball fans, welcome to the most anticipated postseason in years. Despite the absence of last year’s Cinderella team, the 2008 NBA playoffs figure to be a shootout, especially in the Western Conference, where nearly every team has a realistic shot at the Finals. With such a wide open race, we’re excited to re-launch our 2008 NBA Playoffs Pick’em Bracket! touch.png

You make the picks, you set the odds. Just before tipoff of Game 1, the odds will be frozen based on the number of people entering the contest and the picks they’ve made. At the end we’ll tally up the points and award the winner an iPod touch. For the uninitiated, it’s like an iPhone but without the phone. What’s left you ask? Movies, music, photos, and WiFi internet for email, maps, and more.

Two quick reminders before you go stampeding for your brackets… First, you can run this contest with your friends by creating a BallHype Group. Just select this as one of the games you want us to track in your group’s settings. Second, in the event of a tie, the winner will be the person with the higher NBA playoffs game picks score – so don’t forget to make your weekly game picks.

Fill out your 2008 NBA Playoffs Bracket.
