Might as well get this down now so it can come back to haunt me later.

LOL, good one.  TP for the effort.

After each round I'll make a scoreboard with everyone's totals.

For anyone who makes picks before the playoffs, you've got a TP coming your way.  The more the merrier.

First Round Update

1 pt awarded for picking any series winner
2 pts awarded for picking eventual NBA champ
1 addtional pt awarded for picking the correct # of games along with a series winner

Thus, a perfect score of 31 is very hard to get

Scores after 1st Round
FallGuy               10
drucci                 10
PosImpos             9
greg_kite              9
houseonfire09    7
D Dub                   7
rav123                  6
Cornbreadsmart  6


Nice call by both PosImpos as well as Drucci on picking Spurs over Mavs (not so nice that I picked the Mavs to the finals....)

Also impressive picks by FallGuy, choosing the right number of games for the Cavs, Suns, Celts, & Lakers series.

Nice call on the Spurs, guys. I had the Mavs going to the finals. Idiot.

[PosImpos]

So far my conference finals predictions look pretty good

[PosImpos]

So I was 2/4 for the second round, but I'm pretty glad I was wrong on one of them.

I've got 11 points now.  Can somebody count up for everyone else?

Yeah, major props, TP.  You nailed the Dallas 1st round upset, and if PHX goes to the Finals, I'm going to have to drop ship you a case of beer - cuz that pick would be insane..

I'll total everyone up now, stay tuned..

D Dub                   10

rav123                   8
Cornbreadsmart           8


Big round by drucci, picking the Celts in 6 & the Magic sweep to take the overall lead.  Nice picks right there.  Also good stuff by the OP, dialing in the western conference. 

I also feel compelled to highlight the other two posters who picked the Celts over the Cavs; rav123 and myself

Picking Celts over Orl in 6 was clutch in this round - both drucci (who drives a delorean) and I took advantage there.  Also kind of interesting,  only two people picked LA to the Finals (cornbreadsmart, and greg_kite).  

Gonna be a fun couple weeks, Celts fans!  TP's for all!

[Drucci]

TP for you D Dub for keeping the scores updated!

Hopefully the Celtics win it all at the end!
