CrypticVillain Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I so didn't want to do this again this year, but I gotta keep this going for my man RP as long as I can... Welcome to another year of playoff picking! Same scoring as last year, and if you don't recall how it worked, then here ya go:You get 2 points for each team you correctly pick to win their first round series. You get 4 points for each team you pick to reach the conference finals. 6 points for an NBA finalist. And 8 points for correctly picking the champ. You will also pick the number of games for every series. In the first round, you will get 1 bonus point if you also guess the exact number of games with the winning team. In the 2nd round, the bonus will increase to 2 points, but it's more complicated because you have to have had both teams correct. For example, you can't get bonus points if you predict Spurs over Grizzlies in 6 in the 2nd round if it is actually Spurs over Clippers in 6. The pattern continues as you get 3 bonus points in the conference finals and 4 in the finals. If you have any questions regarding the scoring, don't hesitate to ask.

Predicto Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I essentially took Predictos pick but changed the games it was over. You fool. You have no chance now. the reason I got the nickname Predicto in the first place was because every prediction I made went hilariously wrong I'm that guy who pencilled Ryan Leaf into the Hall of Fame.

CrypticVillain Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Sorry for the delay... NOBODY PICKED THE CLIPPERS!!!3 People, myself included, had the Spurs repeating. We're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I got the Western conference almost completely wrong. I thought we were going to get playoff Rondo and I thought the Grizzlies were too banged up. Not even close. The Spurs-Clippers series was a toss up until the final second. No one should feel bad about picking that one wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Well, I had us losing to Toronto in six so I'm already happy i was wrong. lol I had the Wizards in six and when I made that pick, I thought I was making it with my heart and not my head. I never expected the Raptors to just fall apart like they did. That team really showed a lack of mental toughness and focus. Your leaders set the tone for everyone else and I think Lowry quit on them. No way would I ever trust him to be my leader after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Well this is awkward, but I think Predicto has won already lolThe Spurs losing in the first round really destroyed people's predictions. I thought MattFancy would be able to catch him if the Cavs beat the Hawks in 7, but he would only gain three points on him instead of four. So congrats to Predicto I guess.

Predicto Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I have never Predicted anything correctly in my life. I think this means that there is going to be a judge's disqualification knocking the Hawks out and in a stunning series of upsets, the Nets swoop in to win the title.
