A raccoon is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.
Actually I'm going to change the sweeps bonus to be worth 4 points, which is the same as getting 4 series winners correct or 1 pick + 1 series winner correct; Seems fair for a fairly hard prediction.

But that would make things weird in that guessing correctly only one sweep is somehow worth four times less than guessing correctly that there will be four sweeps.

Yeah, it's goofy. But, I'm bored at work. To make it even more complicated (please don't), it could even be similar to price is right. So, if you guess two and there were really four, you get two points. If you guessed five when there were four, you would get nothing.

I don't want to give partial credit like that (atleast not for the bonuses). It's either all or nothing, the world of being the SAS Pick King is a harsh one :nignog:

I was bored so I tested parsing through the data and here's what we got so far in dickless dick charts form:


The East
Most people think the Raptors Nets series is going to be a long one and also has the highest chance of being an upset


The West
The Rockets Trailblazers series is going to be the only series in the west more than a few people believe will go to 7 games

Really Atlanta was the best possible draw of the teams that had some sort of slightly realistic chance of making the playoffs in the East. But the Pacers will probably be at the extreme end of their offensive despicableness one game of the series which will allow Atlanta to get one.

Bulls are another team with ocassional offensive lapses that might allow the Wizards to get one or two.

Raptors are probably better than the Nets, but the Nets are really good at home and I think if they steal one of the road games that means the Raptors will lose.

The Heat will coast a bit in one of the road games in Charlotte. Maybe even coast for two games. Maybe even three! But this series won't really be close.

The Mavs will come close to winning every single game but only manage to get one of them.

If Bogut was healthy I'd pick the Warriors. But, he's not.

Grizzlies are not as good as people think they are anymore, still there's a Scotty Brooks bad coaching job that should open the door for the Griz for one or two games.

I guess Hitze and the rest of the Wizards fans will be happy with these picks - not only did I pick the Wiz to beat the Bulls in a hard fought 7 game series (just a hunch), but since I have two sweeps in the first round and only chose 2 total for the playoffs, that means they at least won't get swept by the Pacers in the 2nd round.
