Make your selections
Submit your picks for each individual NBA Playoffs 2003 series between 3:01 am ET April 17 and before the first tipoff of each new NBA Playoffs series throughout the course of the Promotion. During this time you will be able to select who you think will win each of the 15 NBA Playoffs series (including the NBA Finals), how many games each best-of-seven series will last, and which player will score the most cumulative points during each series. You can change your selections at any time until the opening tip of Game One of a new NBA Playoffs series.

A green “unlocked” icon indicates that the series is open and selections/modifications are ready to be made. A red “locked” icon indicates that the series has already begun and selections/modifications can no longer be made.

To make your selections/modifications, look for the green “unlocked” icon and use the pull-down menus located in the game bracket under each question for each series. Once you've made your selections for each open series, click the “Update Picks” button on the bottom of the page.
