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!

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. |
