Since when is the word "playoffs" hyphenated?
Just curious, which team would you like to see win it all:
1) Indiana, so Evan Turner gets a ring
2) Miami, so Greg Oden gets a ring
3) other
Just sayin': It would really be great to see Greg Oden get a Championship ring (even if he hasn't contributed that much). He has been a "class act", been through a lot, and deserves something good to happen to him. Needless to say, this season may be his only (and last) opportunity to get one.
1895.
Actually both the OED and Webster's have the noun as play-off.

Bigger point is that I don't recall reading anything, anywhere, any time recently where it was hyphenated. But you know that was my point (or, at least, I hope you did).
