WEST 1st Round
1 MIN vs 8 DEN - MIN in 5 2 LAL vs 7 HOU - LAL in 6 3 SA vs 6 MEM - SA in 7 4 SAC vs 5 DAL - DAL in 7 EAST 1st Round 1 IND vs 8 BOS - IND in 4 2 NJ vs 7 NY - NJ in 6 3 DET vs 6 MIL - DET in 5 4 MIA vs 5 NOR - MIA in 5 Only picking one upset (and a 4/5 isn't really an upset), but I think the Spurs will have their hands full with Memphis. The Grizzlies are scary, potential to beat any team out west... but in a long series I don't think they'll be able to pull it off. I don't like the Mavs at all, but the Kings have been cold lately. |

y'know, you've got a point bv...so what if kobe can score 40+ points in a game? so what if shaq (barring injuries) is one of the most dominate centers in nba history? you made a good point that since they're rich adolescents that can't get along, they can't get the ring (so how was the ring won THREE times before?). and that raping accusation? yeah, that's really gonna cost them the championship since it's based on PERSONAL MERIT!!!!....

 We're doing it one round at a time.And the reason Houston can't win it all is because they can't stop themselves from turning the ball over every other possession. Once Yao can average 20pts 10brds 2-3blcks a game, thats when Houston will be feared, until then...he needs some more seasoning. |

Take it to the Lakers thread fellas. Even a basketball fan that dislikes the Lakers
has to evaluate their chance to defeat Houston in round 1. Maybe they will, maybe they won't, just make your pick and we'll see who's right. And that's all this thread's about, making your first-round playoff picks. |

well, by and large it looks like people were right on the outcome of the series, but not the number of games.
i was shocked by the lack of competitiveness in most of the series. obviously, you can start with the three sweeps (IND, NJ, and SAS), but beyond that, every series except for the NO/MIA series has finished in 5 games. granted, practically every series had some close games. several (LAL/HOU, DAL/SAC in particular) could have gone much longer if the losing teams had converted potentially game-winning shots. so there was good basketball to watch, but it was ultimately a VERY uneven battle in 7 out of 8 series. |

Ok... so far in the first round here are the results assuming my calculations are correct. I subtracted the difference between the number of games for each team people guessed from how many was actually won. No extra benefit was given for picking the right team other than the game wins number difference.
If Miami wins the series, Whitak24 will win. The rest of the order will be second place - Jhiforce third place - baggio248, ialsohaveadream, RoniMan fourth place - bachviet, the jello is jigglin, fifth place - molecularfire sixth place - ray, kei2 seventh place - attgig If New Orleans wins the series, it will be tied between baggio248 and RoniMan second place - Whitak24 third place - Jhiforce fourth place - ray, molecularfire fifth place - bachviet, ialsohaveadream sixth place - the jello is jigglin seventh place - kei2 eigth place - attgig Sorry Whitak, but you don't get any extra points for correctly guessing that attgig was smoking too much crack. |

Not sure what's up with your math molecularfire... these are the numbers I got anyway. Minor differences from your results. In order from most accurate to least accurate (predictions off by X games).
HORNETS WIN: baggio, roniman off 7 whitak off 9 jihforce, ray, molecularfire off 10 ialsohaveadream off 11 bachviet off 12 kei2 off 14 thejelloisjigglin off 16 attgig off 22 HEAT WIN: whitak24 off 7 jihforce off 8 baggio, roniman, ialsohaveadream off 9 bachviet off 10 ray, molecularfire, kei2 off 12 thejelloisjigglin off 14 attgig off 20 |

I basically said that if someone said a Minn in 4 they picked Minn to win 4 games and Denver to win zero. Since Denver won 1, they were charged one point. If they picked the wrong team ex: Dallas in 7, they picked Dallas to win 4 games and Sac to win 3 games. Since Sac won 4 and Dallas won 1, they were charged 4 points (1 for sac. and 3 for dallas).
The numbers I got was: If Miami wins - Jhiforce8, ray12, bachviet10, kei12, jello10, mole11, baggio9, attgig21, ialso9, whitak7, roni9 If NOR wins - Jhiforce9, ray10, bachviet11, kei14, jello12, mole10, baggio7, attgig23, ialso11, whitak8, roni7 ex: Whitak was charged 2 for SA, 2 for Sac, 1 for Ind, 2 for NJN, and 0 or 1 for Miami/NOR. So, it's 7 points total. Someone please check my work. I am the only asian guy that can't do math. |

EDIT: I think the problem with the numbers is you're scoring it slightly differently than I am. You said if a game 7 is predicted wrong it's only 1 point, where I think it's 2 (the team picked to win 4 actually wins 3, and the team picked to win 3 actually wins 4).
These are the discrepancies I spotted, unless I made a mistake somewhere jihforce 8 pts not 9 if miami wins min 4 (1 pt) la 5 (0 pt) sa 6 (2 pt) sac 7 (2 pt) ind 4 (0 pt) nj 5 (1 pt) det 4 (1 pt) mia 6 (1 pt) bachviet 12 not 11 if new orleans wins min 5 (0 pt) la 6 (1 pt) sa 7 (3 pt) sac 7 (2 pt) ind 5 (1 pt) nj 6 (2 pt) det 5 (0 pt) mia 6 (3 pt) thejelloisjigglin 14 not 10 if miami wins, 16 not 12 if new orleans wins den 6 (5 pt) la 4 (1 pt) sa 5 (1 pt) dal 7 (4 pt) ind 4 (0 pt) nj 5 (1 pt) det 5 (0 pt) mia 5 (2 pt or 4 pt) molecularfire 12 not 11 if miami wins min 4 (1 pt) la 6 (1 pt) sa 5 (1 pt) dal 7 (4 pt) ind 4 (0 pt) nj 6 (2 pt) det 4 (1 pt) nor 7 (2 pt) attgig 20 not 21 if miami wins, 22 not 23 if new orleans wins min 6 (1 pt) hou 5 (6 pt) sa 6 (1 pt) dal 7 (4 pt) ind 4 (0 pt) ny 7 (5 pt) det 4 (1 pt) mia 5 (2 pt or 4 pt) whitak24 9 not 8 if new orleans wins min 5 (0 pt) la 5 (0 pt) sa 6 (2 pt) sac 7 (2 pt) ind 5 (1 pt) nj 6 (2 pt) det 5 (0 pt) mia 7 (2 pt) Last edited by kei2 : 05-02-2004 at 05:06 PM. |
