Over at Pop Culture Shock, Jon Haehnle put together a "NBA Playoff Smackdown," where a group of basketball fans who write about comics on the web make their predictions as to who will win each series throughout the NBA playoffs.

At the end of the playoffs, whoever has picked the most series correctly (with extra points for predicting how many games each series will take) gets bragging rights.

And seeing as how I write for the awesome New York Knicks blog (part of ESPN's True Hoop Network of NBA blogs), Knickerblogger, I was asked to contribute picks, as well.

Check out the picks here.

Heck, feel free to play along in the comments if you'd like!
