2024 NBA Playoffs Contest!!!!! (1 Viewer)

I posted this in the other NBA thread last night by accident . . .

I have BOS and OKC facing off in the finals. I know, I know, both #1 seeds hardly ever make it that far. The last time was in 2016 . . . 8 years ago. The last time before that was 2008 . . .8 years earlier. The last time before that was 2000 . . . 8 years earlier. It happened a few times in the 90s, including 1992. And it happened again in 1984. So I am playing the Crazy 8's card and predicting it to happen again . . . for the 6th time in a row.
 
So I tried for some significant variance with the Lakers... really wanted them to lose last night and then beat OKC in the 1-8 first round. Gonna be really hard for me to win now with them playing the Nuggets (who I have picked to win it) :bag:
 
Congrats to @Kev4029 and @Zow for being the only two entries to get all the play-in games correct.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I made my predictions based on the pelicans beating the lakers so I’m in trouble going forward as I have both the lakers and nuggets winning double digit games - which obviously won’t happen.
 
When I miss......I really miss.

  • Warriors predicted 4 wins (got none)
  • Suns predicted 6 wins (got none)
  • Bucks predicted 11 wins (one and on verge of going home)
 
With 7 teams eliminated (4 play-in losers, 3 playoffs), @Instinctive is now in the lead with only 5 games away from perfect. That low score goes away, though, if/when Philly loses to NY.
How poorly am I doing? I only entered for fun, didn’t read any instructions and just went +/-1 on whatever Frosty did since someone said he/she was good at this.

You’re doing well - 9 games off exact number of wins for the 8 eliminated teams. I’ve been updating the google sheet linked in the OP if you want to check in at any point.

Hey, can you give me a total final game score for me to use as a tiebreak?

:lol: I see no flaws in this logic.
 
Nobody picked Wolves to get to conference finals.

@Major was the only one who picked Indy to make it this far (has them going to the finals.

11 people picked Mavs this far.

Everyone had Boston making it this far, with only 3 people not picking them to go to the finals.
 
NFL is the only league that reseeds right? Everyone else does it how it should be done
Does the NFL re-seed? Thats relatively new. I thought NHL did.
NFL has been "re-seeding" for as long as I can remember. NHL did until they went with the new divisions and wild card format. Now you have to win "your division" (essentially) to play in the conference finals.

NFL is the only league that does it properly awarding the higher seed from the regular season. Now they just have to adjust the initial seeding to really do it right.

I really screwed up the West. Thought I was sitting pretty with Nuggs and OKC :kicksrock:

Hilarious that no one picked the Wolves. I guess it's smart for homers like Frosti not to jinx them.

Really hoping for a Pacers v. Wolves final. Not only would it piss off the major networks, I love seeing small markets succeed 🤞

Love it that I worked my way off the bottoms.....I count that as a success considering I haven't watched a complete NBA game this year.
