    Haven’t been around much and a little late to the party, but lets try this again for another year!

    Simple concept. Pick who you think is going to win each matchup and in how many games. Get points for predicting the right winner and get more points for predicting the right amount of games (only if your team wins, of course). Points escalate as we go further into the playoffs. Scoring breakdown can be seen here: https://www.nbadraft.net/forums/topic/playoff-pickum-game-2016/

    It’s probably the easiest just to follow my format (well, easier for me). So here are my picks for this year:

    EAST:
    First Round:
    MIL (4)
    CLE (5)
    PHI (4)
    BOS (4)
    Second Round:
    MIL (5)
    BOS (7)
    Conference Finals:
    BOS (7)

    WEST:
    First Round:
    DEN (6)
    PHO (5)
    GS (6)
    LAL (6)
    Second Round:
    PHO (6)
    LAL (6)
    Conference Finals:
    PHO (6)

    NBA Finals:
    BOS (7)

    Now let’s see your picks!

    After the first round:

    1. dmo21 with 9 points
    2. r377 with 7 points
    3. Zouldiers with 7 points (but less potential of future points compared to r377)
    4. NorrinRadd with 6 points

    I think the Bucks going out has spoilt a lot of predictions. GSW vs Lakers could be a classic series can LBJ or Steph get a step nearer to their 5th title

      Glad I’m in last place in this Pickem this year… Hope the Lakers win the title. GSW are the team nobody can ever count out though. Your Suns and the Nuggets should be a long series.

    Play offs really hotting up, I just don’t see my Suns getting past Denver whilst all eyes are on GSW vs Lakers.

    Philly I think will edge past Boston and I’ll laugh as Steven A Smith implodes as his Knicks go out. Other ESPN guys laughing at him as a typical Knicks fan who after the shock of them making the play offs and then winning the first round thinks they can win the title.

    was really tossing up with denver and GS to go through…

    Robert williams been not as good as last year for boston. He was a difference maker last playoffs.

    NY with solid pickups brunson and josh hart. makes a difference when you dont go for these overhyped stars – Amare, melo, kyries etc. You know if they didnt get brunson they would of gone all in on an overhyped star like kyrie or ben simmons

    Little late on the 2nd Round update. But I have to get it done soon because the next round might be wrapped up here quickly!

    1. dmo21 – 17 Points
    2. r377 – 15 Points
    3. NorrinRadd – 10 Points
    4. Zouldiers – 7 Points

    The only team any of us had advancing any further were the Celtics.. So it looks like this might be our final standings too..

    Its a good thing I didn’t participate this year. Probably would have gone Bucks vs Celtics/Lakers vs Suns here with Milwaukee beating LA in the finals.

    Welp. None of us had Miami or Denver in the final. Guess we’re done and I won. Bit anticlimactic.
