Our next incorrect was played by 2 contestants. The New York Knicks are looking dysfunctional with the feud between the Zen Master and Carmelo, but a future rebuild around the Zinger means better days are ahead. For now, they missed the playoffs by 10 games in the East.

Also played by 2 contestants, our next incorrect is the Dallas Mavericks. Even with another season of Dirk, and heisting Nerlens Noel at pennies on the dollar, they finished 8 games back of the playoffs in the West.

Down to the would-be aces, our next incorrect is the Fightin' Seadoods, the Denver Nuggets. The Joker has been unleashed, but they probably waited too long to do that. The Nugs finished on the playoff bubble, 1 game back in the West.

Our next incorrect came on strong towards the end of the year, but put themselves in too big a hole to begin the season. The Minnesota Timberwolves finished 10 games out of the playoffs in the West.

Our final incorrect just missed this question. The Washington Wizards made the playoffs, but as the 4 seed, not the 5 seed, making them incorrect for this question.

The only correct answer not guessed by the contestants are the Milwaukee Bucks, who finished as the 6 seed in the east, and handily defeated the Raptors last night.

Our two SHEEP answers for this question are worth 5 points apiece. The Portland Trailblazers, with a savvy midseason acquisition of Jusuf Nurkic, were dragged into the 8th seed by the indomitable will of Damian Lillard, and they've earned the right to be slaughtered by the Warriors in Round 1.

Our other 5-point SHEEP answer is the Indiana Pacers. Paul George played better as the year went along, and they made the 7th seed in the East.

Our next-most popular corrects are a pair of 3-point answers. My Atlanta Hawks made the playoffs as the 5-seed, and are currently getting worked by a point guard clinic led by John Wall at the moment.

Also played by 3 contestants, including yours truly, are the Utah Jazz. Hopefully Gobert's injury isn't too serious, because the league is just more fun when the Jazz are healthy. For now, they're the 5 seed in the West.

Our next corrects are a pair of 2-point answers. The Chicago Bulls waited until the end of the regular season, but they snuck into the playoffs as the 8 seed in the East.

Also played by 2 contestants are the grit-n-grind Memphis Grizzlies. This feels like one of Conley's best seasons, but Z-bo and TRG aren't getting any younger. In any event, they're the 7-seed in the West.

Question 18 closes with 1 ace. Many people picked the Oklahoma City Thunder to miss the playoffs after losing Durant. Little did they know that Russell Westbrook would go scorched-earth on the league, dropping one of the most dominant individual seasons in memory. They are the 6 seed in the West, and play an entertaining showdown of would-be MVPs later tonight.

Kicking us off, once again it's our ol' pal trollface. He unsurprisingly selected the Philadelphia 76ers, who lost to the Warriors 119-108 in Philly, and came up a bucket short in Oracle, 106-104.

And our final incorrect for this question are the Oklahoma City Thunder. Russ did all he cold, but the Thunder came up short in the revenge games, losing all 4 by double digits.
