Quick update on the Sactown Royalty Playoffs Pick'em Contest (the winner gets either to join me in the cheap seats for a game next season, or a to-be-designed StR t-shirt): It's still wide open!

otis29, Carl, and thelettere sit in the top three, but it looks like any of six or so competitors could win the thing depending on future results. I'm in 14th of 30 myself, with Boston and the Lakers in my Finals, and the Celtics winning the championship. I think I'd prefer a Pistons-Lakers Finals, though, and a Pistons title. Lesser of four evils, you know?

UPDATE: And just like that, section214's in the lead!
