Our NBA Playoffs bracket has proven to be very popular over the last few seasons, and now we’re making it easier than ever to access the bracket goodness!

Just go to NBAPlayoffsbracket.com and you will be taken to the latest in updates (currently for the 2009-10 season, but each year will direct to the current bracket.)

And for our experimental NFL Playoffs bracket, we’ve implemented NFLPlayoffsbracket.com to make that just as easy.

Stay tuned for more announcements soon concerning the brackets and Breathingfire.com!

The 2009-10 NBA season officially began today, and to kick things off right, we’re introducing our 2010 NBA Playoffs bracket!

If you are new to our brackets, here’s how it works: Throughout the season, the current standings are used to create a picture of how the playoffs would be structured if they began on any given day. It’s a fun way to track your team as they fight through 82 regular season games on their march to the Playoffs. The bracket is updated automatically with the conclusion of each game (refresh to see the changes after the games conclude.)

When the Playoffs arrive, the bracket will be updated with each team’s wins, along with game times and scores.

Breathingfire.com is known for its popular NBA Playoffs bracket, and now we’ve reached into the world of the NFL to bring you live playoff-placement coverage all season.

During the regular season, the 2010 NFL Playoffs bracket is updated live as games finish, giving you an idea of where your favorite team(s) are in the Playoff picture. During the Playoffs themselves, the bracket will be updated with scores, and winning teams will advance along the tree.

We recently completed a total overhaul of the bracket CSS (our brackets are 100% XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.1, of course,) so the bracket looks a little bare at the moment. But we will be sprucing it up over time. But the main theme of these brackets is quality over quantity and usability over flash.

If you have suggestions for how we can improve this or any of our brackets, please let us know by leaving a comment below. Otherwise, check out the 2010 NFL Playoffs bracket!

Note: We’re still working on getting the standings correct, as the current seeds are not lining up right. We’ll update this when we have that fixed.

The bracket is back. View the newly updated (and updated in real-time throughout the season) NBA Playoffs bracket. It’s a constant gauge of how teams are doing an how they are falling into place in the NBA playoff picture.

And while you’re waiting for the season to play itself out, use the handy graph at the bottom to see how much longer there is to go (This is start at 0% on October 28th, the first day of the regular season.)

If you have any comments or suggestions please let me know!

I’ve added a couple of new features to my now ever-present 2008 NBA Playoffs bracket!

Now, located at the bottom below the bracket itself, is a bar showing just how far into the NBA regular season we are. Also located on the graph are a couple of indicators showing off events like NBA All-Star Weekend, the trade deadline, and the 75% mark. Again, not really anything too spectacular, but it was a quick thing to throw up on there that I thought was pretty cool.  Seeing as how the playoffs bracket doesn’t really mean much until the regular season is over, this will show you how far we have until then!

The second new feature is the presence of win-loss records for each playoff team. Now you can show or hide them as you please, and see how your team is doing with a glance. Just another feature that I wished was there so I made it so.

Let me know if you like or dislike the new features, and if there is anything else that you think should be added (or taken away!) I’ll be returning to my little-green-arrow system of showing wins in the Playoffs once they start, so if you have a better idea I’m all ears.
