As mentioned, Hoops Hobby will be hosting an NBA Playoff Survivor pick’em. Each day of the playoffs, Hoops Hobby will post the games for the day. Each contestant should respond with a comment containing their pick for the day. Pick any team playing that day. If they win, you move on to pick another day.
