Good and cool and smart and blatant-disregard-three-point-chucking SZN members,

SZN's inaugural NBA survivor is here and picks are open. There's only one way to prepare. Show 'em, J.R.

NBA survivor, like all SZN competitions, is free to play once you're a SZN member. We resist entry fees like J.R. Smith resists a basketball conscience.

JOIN SZN'S INAUGURAL NBA SURVIVOR HERE

The rules are simple: Each "Week" includes every game played between Friday and Monday. You pick two teams to win their games each week. If you win both, you move on. Can only pick each team once. Last person standing wins.

Sound a lot like BFIG? That's the idea. Welcome to the show, yo.

PICKS ARE OPEN NOW, AND THEY LOCK FRIDAY AT 3PM (PST). GO MAKE THOSE PICKS.
