Rules explained by royallypwned... Quick thought, He definitely made the playoffs more fun with this. I keep this going not only because of the fun, but because RP was a cool dude. The first Cowboy fan that I actually tolerated. RIP Sir...

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.

I know that historically this thread is usually relegated to picks only, but I'm instantly regretting my Cavs sweep prediction. Their statement against Toronto shook me, but LeBron is like their Kilgrave or something. I could see Dipo and co. stealing one or possibly two. I got an insanely high score in one of these tournaments, but this year, that decision could **** me up.

I want to. But then I'll be super annoyed if they sweep as initially thought. Then I'll be distraught if I don't switch like I kinda want to and Indy wins a couple...

 

 

 

 

Well you have the Rockets winning so not like your picks are winning anyways.
