I may have gotten almost every series wrong haha, but I was confident about Denver not going far.JeremyG wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 9:50 amI don't believe in Denver this year.

In the past we’ve given 10 points for picking the correct winner of each series and 5 points for picking the number of games correct. Do we want to keep the same scoring process?
Should later rounds count for more?

Eastern Conference playoffs:
1. Boston Celtics vs 8. Miami Heat

Re: 2024 Playoffs Prediction Contest
Do later rounds count the same as early rounds? Have we always done it that way, or is there any point in "scaling up" since it's harder to predict properly the further you go?
Re: 2024 Playoffs Prediction Contest
We maybe should’ve had the later rounds count for more…I don’t think we did last year
