Note that the 5 teams can be from any conference. For example, you could take the 1st seed from both conferences, the 4th seed from both conferences, and the 7th seed from the East, and your entry would be valid (1 + 1 + 4 + 4 + 7 = 17). Or, you could take the 2nd through 6th seed from one conference, and that would be valid (2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 20). Points: 20 pts for every playoff win 40 bonus pts for winning a Conference Title 35 bonus pts for winning the NBA Championship Q2: Select one additional team as the overall NBA Champion (correct choice worth 75 pts). Note: Your choice for Q2 MAY BE, but DOES NOT HAVE TO BE one of the 5 teams you picked in Q1.
