2024 NBA Playoff Prediction Contest

Post by Bush4Ever. »

Since everyone is an idiot except Y2K, I've withdrawn my volunteering to commission this thread.

I wasted at least three minutes on it, so I hope you all are happy.

Ideally what would be the worst Finals matchup for the league, Hawks-Kings right?

Thanks.

I have nothing but respect for that Heat team. They're always a tough out.

Winner of Bulls vs Hawks better come correct.

Series winner = +1 point
Series winner + correct number of games = +2 points
Bonus: Guess which player will score the most total points in round one (+1 point)


Thunder vs. Kings or Pelicans
Clippers vs. Mavericks
Timberwolves vs. Suns
Nuggets vs. Lakers

Celtics. vs. Bulls or Heat
Cavalies vs. Magic
Bucks vs. Pacers
Knicks vs. 76ers

Thunder in 4
Clippers in 6
Suns in 7
Nuggets in 5

Celtics in 5
Orlando in 7
Bucks in 5
Knicks in 7

I have no gauge on the Sixers Knicks series but I respect what New York has built these last couple seasons.

If you wanted to be more statistically correct, you would simply subtract the difference on a number line for a series.

Cavs in 4---Cavs in 5---Cavs in 6---Cavs in 7---Magic in 7---Magic in 6---Magic in 5---Magic in 4

And then sum with the lowest score winning.

A person who picks Magic in 7 while the Cavs win in 7 is closer than the person who picks Cavs in 5 as a statistical reality, and it should be reflected in the scoring system.
