Epic Carnival: TWO VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE SAME BALLHYPE GROUP

by Ethanator1088, NESW Sports

Most people that love basketball and love Ballhype, played the Ballhype 2008 NBA Playoff Pick'em Game. I did and I am getting spanked! That shows what I know. I had Kobe and his crew to choke in the first round. It looks like I chose the wrong round, but I did pick the Celtics to win it all. That shows what I know.

This post is about two very different people from the Ballhype group Golden State of Mind. It is one of the bigger groups sitting at 146 members. The two members are Juicewu and Invinceible. The links on their names do not go to their profiles. They go to their 2008 NBA Playoff Pick'em brackets. Check them out. Yep, they both have perfect brackets up to this point. The only difference is the winner they have chosen.

Besides choosing a new way to spell invincible, Invinceible went the rout of the homer. He was literally in the Golden State of Mind. I am not picking on him. I completely understand. If there was an NBA team from Alabama, I would most likely pick them as well. :-) My misspellings are also well documented.

This is just a little early congratulatory post for Juicewu. Thanks for not being a homer. Thanks for seeing that 3 of the best players in the NBA can beat Kobe. Kobe tried to take over the game. He did not involve Pau and Lamar and they let him do it. Those two guys are great, but they do not display a killer instinct.

Garnett, Allen, and Pierce all have that killer instinct, but they choose to let others shine. Sometimes they let Perkins or Rondo shine. If Perkins and Rondo played with the Lakers, they would be very small pieces to the Kobe puzzle. It is a very different team and team concept.

It looks like Juicewu is going to end with a 5 player tie for 1st place.
