Here's last year's thread that was run by nagel. Since nobody seems to be into doing it this year I thought I'd take a crack at it. The deadline for first round predictions (or the editing thereof) is the start of the Raptors / Pacers game tomorrow. My birthday is also tomorrow and I probably won't be around until Sunday morning, so please don't be dicks about this. Round 1 - Predict the winner of each series (1 point per correct prediction) - Predict the result of each series (1 point per correct prediction) Round 1 bonus questions - Who will average more free throws for the series, the Warriors or Harden & Howard combined? (1 point) - Will Pop UNLEASH THE BOBAN (meaning, will he average more than 12 minutes per game)? (1 point) - How many series will be swept this round? (2 points) - Which player will lead the league in playoff points per game after this round? (3 points) For future rounds, if you have any good bonus questions please don't post them directly in the thread but either shoot me a PM or e-mail them to me at wheelchairmosh@gmail.com Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Apr 15, 2016 |

Warriors in 4, Portland in 7, OKC in 5, Spurs in 4. Cleveland in 5, Boston in 6, Miami in 5, Toronto in 5. Warriors more Free Throws. No Boban. 2 sweeps. Leading playoff scorer, meaning total score not average per game right? Dame Lillard.

Happy birthday to you EAST: 4-2 Cleveland-- Reggie Jackson will sweat gallons and gallons, Detroit prevents threes and doesn't foul, Cavs will forget they have unbeatable matchup advantages for a game or two 4-3 Atlanta-- They knew better and do better 4-1 Toronto -- Always cough Toronto 4-2 Charlotte.-- Mirror boys catch the sun WEST: 4-0 Golden State-- It will probably be a sweep, but there's a possibility of refs calling regular season fouls on Harden for a game or two 4-2 LA-- mouse chases cat 4-2 OKC-- Wild horses killed by shield shaped basketball 4-0 San Antonio-- If Memphis wins a game it will be Christmas to me - Warriors (1 point) - Yes Boban (1 point) - 2 sweep (2 points) - Durant has the pointes (3 points) Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Apr 15, 2016 |

Paul Zuvella posted:The Number of sweeps questions is kind of redundant, but w/e If you have 8 series and the higher seed has a 75% chance of winning 4-1 and a 25% chance of winning 4-0 in each series then you'd want to pick each series as 4-1 and 2 series as sweeps. You can't change any series to 4-0 because you're only 25% to hit those but still on average you'd expect 2 sweeps out of the 8 series.

Not to poo poo on anyone's prediction or anything, but don't be surprised if Lillard averages like 20 per game. CP3 gives him fits and DeAndre makes things even worse.
