Okay folks, the playoff picture is set. Now it's time to show some conviction and basketball knowledge by predicting the winners of the First round, the Semi Finals, Conference Finals and NBA Finals! None of this lame bandwagon jumping nonsense! Points are awarded by:
- Each correct team picked to advance per round: 4 pts.
- Correct number of games needed to win series: 5 pts for exact guess, 3 pts for 1 game difference, 2 pts for 2 game difference, 1 pts for 3 game difference.
- Finals MVP: 4 points.
- Tie breaker: Points averaged by Finals MVP.
Contest is open until the NBA playoffs start so get your entries in early! The winner will get a very nice package from me. Leaderboard updated every round.
The format should be cut and pasted as follows:
Round 1 East: (teams to advance and number of games needed for each team). E.g. Celtics in 4, Hawks in 6, 76ers in 7, Indiana in 4.
Round 1 West:
Semi Finals East:
Semi Finals West:
Conference Finals East:
Conference Finals West:
NBA Finals:
Finals MVP and PPG:
Close to the end of Round 1 and the Top 10 in the leaderboard are:

2) Cebru 44, Brentus777 44, DW8 44
5) In_tha_90’s 43, Magohaydz 43, Hairyangryfella 43, Sebultura 43

Game notes:
1) Orlando has tanked EVERYONE's pick from Round 1.
2) Spurs also on the verge of tanking EVERYONE's pick in Round 1.
3) Contestant with the most number of 7 scores: Bo3197! With 6 out of 8 scores being a 7.
==================================
So the Finals matchup are set! So heading into the Finals, it's getting rather interesting!
Tied for first place:

, I'm not a Miami or James fan (not a hater either) but as much as I want a Title for Chicago I don't think it's our year, I reckon next year.
