Getting this thread going so people can start preparing. 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?

Nuggets out round 1? Bold pick

I don't believe in Denver this year. If they get past LA, I could see us losing to them but other than that, I don't see them going far.

I may have gotten almost every series wrong haha, but I was confident about Denver not going far.
