So I’ve noticed that there isn’t any Playoff prediction contest.
If you want we can do one with this simple rules:
For each series you have to predict the winner and the games that it takes to win.

FIRST ROUND
If you guess right only the number of games you get 1 point
If you guess right only the winner you get 3 points
If you guess right beth the number of games and the winner you get 6 points

Example
Jazz vs Grizzlies I predict Jazz in 5
If the real result is Memphis in 6 I’ll get 0 point
If the real result is Memphis in 5 I’ll get 1 point
If the real result is Jazz in 6 I’ll get 3 points
If the real result is Jazz in 5 I’ll get 6 point


SECOND ROUND
If you guess right only the number of games you get 2 points
If you guess right only the winner you get 6 points
If you guess right beth the number of games and the winner you get 12 points

CONFERENCE FINALS
If you guess right only the number of games you get 3 points
If you guess right only the winner you get 9 points
If you guess right beth the number of games and the winner you get 18 points
If you guess right the best scorer of the series you get 3 points

NBA FINALS
If you guess right only the number of games you get 4 points
If you guess right only the winner you get 12 points
If you guess right beth the number of games and the winner you get 24 points
If you guess right the Finals MVP you get 10 points

It’s very simple because I created it literally 10 minutes ago...anyone interested or have any suggestions?
Let me know if we can give it a go or not...

Ok here are my first round picks in the West.
Jazz vs Grizzlies- Jazz in 5
Clippers vs Dallas- Clippers in 6 but I want Dallas simply because I think the Clippers lost on purpose.
Blazers vs Nuggets- Blazers in 7.
Suns vs Lakers - Suns in 7. I could never pick LA.

East
Philly vs Washington. Philly in six and I think it will be tougher than people think.
Brooklyn vs Celtics - Nets in 5.
Bucks vs Heat - I would not be surprised if Miami upset the Bucks. I am picking Bucks in 7.
Knicks vs Hawks - Knicks in 6.
 
First round
Jazz in 5

May I suggest that you only get the point for number of games if you also get the series winner right?

It seems weird that you can get a point for saying Grizzlies in 4 if the Jazz end up sweeping.
 
For those who are interested you have time to predict your first round until the Bucks-Heat game will start.

But if you get both the winner and the number of games you get 6 points. Yes it's a bit weird but think about this example:
I predict Denvver in 7 and in reality it is Portland in 7...you were very close to guess right both the winner and the number of games, so at least you get 1 point.
I'thought about a scenario like that when I came up with this rule.
 
Jazz vs Grizzlies- Jazz in 4
Clippers vs Dallas- Clippers in 5 (really hope i'm wrong about this one and it goes 7 at least)
Blazers vs Nuggets- Nuggets in 6
Suns vs Lakers - Lakers in 6

East
Philly vs Washington- Philly in 5
Brooklyn vs Celtics - Nets in 5
Bucks vs Heat - Bucks in 5
Knicks vs Hawks - Knicks in 7
 
west

Jazz vs Grizzlies- jazz in 4
Clippers vs. Dallas - Clips in 5
Blazers vs Nuggets - Nuggets in 7
Suns vs Lakers - Lakers in 7.

east.

76ers vs. wizards - 76ers in 5
Nets vs Celtics - nets in 4
Bucks vs. Heat - heat in 7
Knicks vs hawks - Knicks in 6
 
Jazz Grizzlies - Jazz in 5
Phoenix Lakers - Lakers in 6
Denver Portland - Denver in 7
Clippers Mavericks - Clippers in 6

Philly Washington - Philly in 5
Nets Celtics - Nets in 6
Bucks Miami - Bucks in 6
Knicks Hawks - Knicks in 7
 
If you want to do this you'd better make your predictions as fast as you can....the first game is about to start
 
Jazz Grizzlies - Jazz in 4
Phoenix Lakers - Suns in 6
Denver Portland - Denver in 6
Clippers Mavericks - Mavs in 7

Philly Washington - Philly in 4
Nets Celtics - Nets in 5
Bucks Miami - Bucks in 4
Knicks Hawks - Hawks in 6

Not just weird, totally illogical.
 
First round

UTA - MEM = Jazz in 5
LAC - DAL = Clippers in 5

DEN - POR = Denver in 6
PHX - LAL = Lakers in 7

Second Round

UTA - LAC = Jazz in 6
DEN - LAL = Lakers in 6

Western Conference Finals

UTA - LAL = Jazz in 6

By the way this is the worst path possible in which we face the Lakers. It gives them 2 practice series before they face is which is a mixed bag, because they could either get another injury, which is a real possibility, or they could play the team into playoff shape and be at full force firing on all cylinders by the time they face us, which, combined with their inevitable edge in officiating, means we will have a very very tough series.

LOL forgot to do the east first round. Could give a rats *** about the complete east bracket.

PHI - WAS = Sixers in 6
NYK - ATL = Knicks in 6

MIL - MIA = Bucks in 6
BKN - BOS = Nets in 6

Huh, I think these are harder to guess at this point and more rife for upsets. Could see Boston making waves for Brooklyn and Miami being a pain for Milwaukee.

I know this is one round at a time but I wanted to get my initial western bracket out there just for me.
