CrypticVillain Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 royallypwned said: 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. Also, I'm proud to announce... Winner gets a $25 Amazon card. I've been wanting to give out a prize, but being in school working part time prevented that. Now, to quote a famous Redskins RB, "my pockets are straight"! 2017 NBA Champions My example: (When making picks, pay close attention to the bracket. Know who is supposed to play who.)

CrypticVillain Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 I think it was Predicto or Stevemcqueen... The only reason I can't say for sure is because I think I never posted the results.

Going Commando Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I don't think I've ever won this. It was probably Predicto.

Skin'emAlive Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I got this East: Boston over Chicago in 7: Wade makes it a series, but Smart gets away with a flop so supreme they take game 7. Vlade and Chris Paul nod in approval. Cleveland over Indy in 4: 3 point barrage. Lebron plays 40 min a game and averages 1 foul. Love is a terror. Toronto over Milwaukee in 5: DeRozan channels his inner Kobe. Washington over Atlanta in 5: Wall takes his foot off the throat for a game, but otherwise eviscerates Dennis. Washington over Boston in 5: Al Horford goes off one game, but is otherwise stopped by Mahinmi. Oubre puts the straps to IT. " This team is going to be a championship contender next year with Brooklyn's lottery pick." ~ media ... lottery pick falls to no. 3 Cleveland over Toronto in 6: Lebron plays 43 min a game and averages a triple double with .5 fouls per game. Lowry shows up for once, but Lebron is just too much. Washington over Cleveland in 7: Beal with a step back long two for the win. Lebron picks up 3 fouls all series. Proceeds to throw the team under the bus. Gilbert Arenas is a twitter allstar for the series. West: Golden State over Portland in 4: by the time Nurkic is ready to help, the series is over. San Antonio over Memphis in 6: Tony Allen is sorely missed. VC and Marc Gasol ball out, but Leonard takes care of business. Parsons is booed relentlessly next year. Houston over Oklahoma City in 7: Adams keeps the series close, but Harden shows off his inner hibachi and drains a pull up jumper over Roberson. Nene slaps the mustache off Kanter's stupid face. "Westbrook doesnt have a good supporting cast. LA is in talks of making a power move!" ~ media Los Angeles over Utah in 6: Joe Johnson is awesome, but the bright lights are too much for Gobert and Hayward. They go ice cold the entire series. Golden State over Los Angeles in 5: no contest. Rumors of Chris Paul and Melo to Cleveland emerge in the offseason. "KD is back to his MVP form" ~ media Houston over San Antonio in 7: Harden is unconscious for the series. Despite some heroics from Ginobli, SA cant keep up with the 3pt onslaught, and have no answer for Ryan Anderson's trigger finger. Ariza clinches the win with some scrappy play. Golden State over Houston in 6: Houston runs out of juice and has no answer for Draymond's testicular claw. " How can Cleveland match Golden State's firepower? Is this the best trilogy ever?" ~ media Final: Washington over Golden State in 6: Morris is given a flagrant 2 for punching Draymond directly in the teeth. He is given a standing ovation as he exits the court. The clamps are put to Beal after what happened in Cleveland... Otto gladly takes the open space for some clutch mid range gold. GS has no answer for the Wall/Beal/Oubre/Porter/Morris line. "KD clearly isn't 100%" ~ media. Ernie is made GM for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
