10 points for picking the right winner.
5 points for picking the right number of games.

Random notes:
My only CRAZY ASS pick is having the Cavs go to the ECF. Yes, over the Bucks. I know that is an insane pick. I'm just going for it; I think the Cavs are a lowkey snake in the grass team, going to surprise a lot of people. I'm probably wrong, but I thought it'd be fun to have one wild prediction in there that I think has an okay chance of happening.

I think the most overrated team this year is the Lakers. Lot of people have them going to the WCF or even Finals. I think that's crazy. They have some good talent on paper but Lebron and AD are made of glass. Lebron's foot is practically falling off. There's no way they stay healthy for more than 1-2 series.

I just think the kings are going to be a sleeper and catch a lot of teams off guard... I also think we spank the Bucks in 5 if we meet them again. It's going to be extremely personal and knowing how rough it felt last time; they're coming full force and with the fully unleashed DominAyton. History says I'm crazy, but I just think with how well the floors going to be spread, he's going to FEAST!

^ NAILED IT

... to be fair, I did call the Bucks not making the Finals. But, uh, yeah.

Every single one of us picked Bucks and Cavs to win round 1 and they were both out in 5.

Mori did have Bucks losing in round 2, but he had them losing to Cavs

I thought injuries would hold the Bucks back. But wow I didn't think they could fall out in the 1st round.

Really disappointed in Cleveland. They have so much talent, but I guess they aren't ready. Evan Mobley was especially disappointing. I think the Knicks made the Cavs look dumb for playing 2 bigs. And they just had the veteran calm and steadiness compared to the Cavs' deer-in-the-headlights look.

I am also really disappointed in the Grizz. They have really choked. This Laker team is pretty good, but if you're a real contender you should be able to hang with a team like that. I know they have some injuries, but there's still so much talent and depth on that roster. They should be better.
