PostPosted: Thu Apr 14, 2016 6:24 pm    Post subject: Official 2016 LG NBA Playoff Pool

It is playoff time and time to see who can do the best at predicting how things will shake out. Enter your selections in this thread, including who you think will win each series and how many games you think the series will last. Point totals are 5 points for each correct Round 1 pick, 8 for Round 2, 12 for Round 3 and 15 for Round 4. For each game of the series you are off, you will lose one point.

Example is, if you guess the Warriors in 4 games in Round 1, and they win it in 5, you would score 5-1=4. Since there isn't much time, entries need to be posted here by Sunday night, so if there is a big blow out injury in the first game we can take advantage of that. Good Luck!

Cleveland vs Detroit
Toronto vs Indy
Miami vs Charlotte
Atlanta vs Boston

GS vs Houston
Spurs vs Memphis
OKC vs Dallas
LAC vs Portland

The entries are in, I will post some stats regarding our picks. I also added the ESPN "experts" picks so we can see how we stack up against them.

Curry has now hurt his ankle and his knee in the span of just 3 games played in this series for him. Could be the opening the Spurs need if he's compromised going forward.
