NBA Playoffs Round 2 Update

Hey, at least we don't have to make a second set of picks this time.

Standings, (finals pick in parentheses):

Julia 38 (Heat over Lakers)
Sam 36 (Bulls over Lakers)
BJ 34 (Lakers over Bulls)
Katz 34 (Bulls over Lakers)
Neal 34 (Bulls over Thunder) OKC- Por-Chi- Bos
Andy 32 (Bulls over Thunder) OKC- Dal-Chi- Mia
Tristan 29 (Bulls over Thunder) OKC- LA- Chi-Mia
Ball is Life 27 (Lakers over Heat)
Will 25 (Bulls over Thunder) OKC- Por-Chi-Mia
Conall 22 (Bulls over Thunder) OKC-LA-Chi-Mia
Rick Reilly 22 (Bulls over Lakers) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

A little analysis:
Julia- has a nice lead, but basically lives and dies with the Heat, but if Heat make it to the finals with anyone besides the Lakers, she's in good shape.
Sam and Katz- Separated by 2, and only have one different pick the rest of the way (Sam has the Heat, Katz has the Celtics). So the other is basically eliminated after that (unless Sam is perfect with the bonus points the rest of the way)
BJ and BiL- BiL doesn't have enough unique number of games to catch BJ if it's Lakers-Celtics or (God-forbid) Lakers-Hawks, so he needs Lakers over Heat at this point. Lakers over anyone else is all BJ.
Everyone with Bulls over Thunder- Neal needs Boston to win the next round to make up for having a little too much faith in the Blazers, and then it'll come down to bonus points with either me (with Lakers over Mavs) or Andy (vice-versa). The Blazers' ineptitude eliminates Will as well. Conall could be perfect from here on out and not catch me (direct all blame to New York).
Rick Reilly- Eliminated, thanks to jumping late on the Nuggets' bandwagon. Again: HAHAHAHA!
