I tried to balance early weighting (where there are more series and more chaos) with keeping everyone in it by slowly scaling up the points. I think it worked OK, but lesson learned is round 2 needed juicing and Finals probably should have given less points for predicting the winner (although Raptors were a Vegas underdog so maybe that's just what happens).

We definitely would have had a different top-5 if the Warriors won.
