Thanks...I dunno how I do it..I just do it.

Special thanks to Majestic as well for taking care of the calculations. Maybe this can make up for my disappointing fantasy b-ball season.

Re: NBA Playoff Bracket Pool

Nice calls...maybe?

Bill Laimbeer and Panoptican both predicted a Heat victory over the Mavs in the finals. I think Bill can tie the two leaders (he is two points behind with 3 potential points outstanding and I believe all 3 have Dallas winning this round) if Miami wins it all. Panoptican is too far behind from the early rounds to catch up.

Most people picked the Pistons over the Spurs. (myself, and a few others had Detroit over Dallas).

I think I'm in good position to nab one of those T-shirts. If I won, I would have requested to trade down for one anyhow!

Yep. Like the Pistons, you (and Mo) are the team(s) to beat unless and until the competition proves otherwise.

I sure hope you are correct with your pick.

Re: NBA Playoff Bracket Pool

Results after the conference finals. Great calls by Panoptican & Bill Laimbeer. Lemme know if I missed on anyone.

Re: NBA Playoff Bracket Pool

I'm confused about scoring.

I got 6 points in the first round (I called the Nuggets and the Lakers to move on).

But then I only got 1 point in the second round? (I called the Pistons, Heat, and Maverics to move on.)

And in the Conference Finals DarthTater has given me a point, but I would have thought that I shouldn't get anything, since I called Pistons over Heat and Mavs over Nuggets. Don't I need to have both the participating teams and the winner correct in order to score?

You get one point for every series you call correctly. You got nothing for the Pistons over the Heat (unfortunately) because Detroit lost. You got one point for the Mavs winning that round (didn't matter who they beat). You just need the winner of that round.

I'll check the second round. If you called those 3 teams then you should have earned 3 points there.

Re: NBA Playoff Bracket Pool

Yep. You are correct. Majestic must have missed two of your second round points. You actually have 10 points.
