|
|
The seedings are almost decided, time for the annual LG NBA playoff pool. Let us see who is the best at picking winners this year. Same rules as before, entries have to be posted here before the first playoff game. Pick the winners and the number of games you expect each series to go. Scoring will be as follows:
First round
Correctly guessing the winning team of each playoff series will get you 5 points. The number of games you guess the series will go will be subtracted from that total if you are incorrect.
Example: I pick the Spurs over the Griz in 4 games, but the Spurs win in 5. My score would be 4 (5-1).
Second round
Same scoring system, only a correct pick is worth 8 points (minus any variance in how many games the series goes).
Conference finals
Same scoring system, only a correct pick is worth 12 points (minus any variance in how many games the series goes).
Finals
Same scoring system, only a correct pick is worth 15 points (minus any variance in how many games the series goes).
The points from each round are added up and the highest total wins. Remember that you have to complete the entire bracket before the playoffs start, from round 1 through the Finals. Check back and I will post the playoff matchups after the season has concluded. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

It looks like the only race is in the West for the 8th seed. Atlanta has the conference record lead over the Knicks. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |
