Wish I would have seen this before because I would have just copied Coaaab on finals prediction. But he has Celtics and I have warriors so it may come down to that.

i mentioned it in the gdt but that's why i picked blowout. a couple of dagger threes and some desperate fouling for time at the end and a 2 point game becomes 12

I won't lie, I like "Which team will make the most 3s" type questions because everyone always picks the Warriors which is almost never the case.

I'll tally the points tomorrow but I think I won.

The answer key was warriors in 6, warriors with the 30 point players (4-0 I believe), more blowouts, Steph.

People with the superior basketball knowledge: proof

I have our final tally done!

Finals scores were high as the most common choices were what happened. And my questions kinda sucked I think. Several people got the max of 13

code:

Finals Key
warriors in 6.  5+2
warriors with the 30 point players (4-0 I believe) +2
True:more blowouts +2
MVP: Steph +2

You got the same score as I did for the play-in!

Finals I try to keep the top score reasonably low but expect people to more likely get high or low since its just 1 series.
