Soulstation1 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) guy's pick 1st round -- pretty boring this year. San Antonio (1) vs. Sacramento (8): San Antonio won't have too many difficulties. Spurs in 4. Phoenix (2) vs. Lakers (7): Kobe's dangerous, but his team is too weak. Suns in 5. Denver (3) vs. Clippers (6): Probably the only remotely interesting series in the 1st round. Gotta go with the home court advantage on this one. Clips in 7. Dallas (4) vs. Memphis (5): The NBA's screwed up seeding system means that Memphis gets booted out quickly for the 3rd straight year. Dallas in 5. Detroit (1) vs. Milwaukee (8): Detroit will dispose of the Bucks with ease. Pistons in 4. Miami (2) vs. Bulls (7): Miami will finish the Bulls easily. Heat in 4. New Jersey (3) vs. Indiana (6): Indiana's dangerous but I don't think they have it together this year. Nets in 5. Cleveland (4) vs. Washington (5): Washington is weak, but the Cavs are inexperienced. Cavs in 5. 2nd round -- some great series this round. San Antonio (1) vs. Dallas (4): I'm rooting for Dallas to win this, but they can't get past Duncan. Spurs in 7. Suns (2) vs. Clippers (6): The Suns have it pretty easy. Suns in 5. Detroit (1) vs. Cleveland (4): LeBron could cause some damage but Detroit isn't in too much risk. Pistons in 6. Miami (2) vs. New Jersey (3): The Heat have a real dogfight on their hands. Hopefully the Nets will put this one out. Heat in 7. Conference Finals -- a bit of an anticlimax after the previous round. San Antonio (1) vs. Phoenix (2): If Amare was playing this would be interesting (the Suns are better overall than last year), but San Antonio should cruise to the finals. Spurs in 5. Detroit (1) vs. Miami (2): Much easier for Detroit this time around, though the Nets might put up more of a fight. Pistons in 6. NBA Finals -- a rematch, but a different ending this time. Detroit vs. San Antonio: I think Detroit's the better team this time, barring an injury to one of their starters. Hopefully Dallas makes it this far so we can stay awake long enough to find out who wins. Pistons in 7. Edited April 20, 2006 by Soulstation1 Quote

Guy Berger Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Here's how I think we should score this thing: 1st round: 5 pts for every series that's called correctly. Then up to 3 additional pts for how close you are with the number of games -- i.e., bulls-eye 3 pts, within one game 2 pts, within two games 1 pt. So if you predict Lakers-Suns in 7 and the series goes to 7 but the Suns win in 7, you get 2 pts. If the Suns win in 6 you get 1 pt. On the other hand if the Lakers win in 7 you get 8 pts, if they win in 6 you get 7 pts, if they sweep you get 5 pts. Then we double the pts for each additional round.

Soulstation1 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) guy how about we do 5,3,1 pts for the # of games so you can max out @ 10 pts per series in the 1st round (total of 160 points available with 16 series played) in second round 10 points per series winner PLUS 5,3,1 pts for number of games and we add 5 ponits per series per round and the same 5,3,1 if you enter pool that person is responsible for adding their own numbers and posting total also let's pick a sleeper pick (seed #5-8) from each conf and for each round they win you get (5,10, 15.......points Edited April 20, 2006 by Soulstation1 Quote

BruceW Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) OK, I'm in. My picks are: 1st round SA in 5 PHX in 6 Clippers in 7 Dallas in 7 DET in 5 MIA in 6 NJ in 6 CLV in 7 2nd round SA in 7 Clippers in 7 DET in 6 MIA in 6 Western Conf title: San Antonio in 5 Eastern Conf title: Detroit in 6 NBA title: DETROIT in 6 You will see Eva Longoria in every game San Antonio plays. So by my count that would 24 games. BruceW :bwallace2: Because I made a mistake in counting games for Eva Longoria, s/b 24 game instead of 19. This edit done before playoffs started.

connoisseur series500 Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 Damn, I'd like to play but I don't know crap about NBA beyond the Pistons and Cavs! Why don't you guys just pick the first round first, then hold off till the next round starts before predicting the games? I'd be in game-shape by the time Conference finals rolled around! Quote

Actually, I agree with you BUT nobody does it that way; not the other bulletin boards, not the "enemies" I have in my email clan, not the pools I get in, not the NCAA or NIT pools. I don't know why, nobody is interested in making it really interesting by waiting for the survivors of each round. So the picking becomes a crap shoot...... so the choices become whom you "like" - not who is the best of the survivors. Bruce Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) I'll get my picks in before Saturday. I'll just go with most of the favorites, I guess. But I do know the Final's winner: Pistons! Edited April 21, 2006 by connoisseur series500 Quote

Soulstation1 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) wilt made 35 straight FGs no misses http://www.basketball.com/nba/records/NBAsnglLdrsFG.shtml i think kobe hit 50 points 6 times this season http://www.nba.com/playerfile/kobe_bryant/...game_stats.html # 08 game by game scoring numbers wilt scored 50 or more points 45 times in the 1961-62 season, including seven consecutively (Dec. 16-29, 1961) Edited April 21, 2006 by Soulstation1 Quote
Noj Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 That's not a fair comparison, $$1. Kobe doesn't even play the same position as Wilt, and Wilt was literally a giant compared to all the other players outside Bill Russell's shoes. Magic Johnson had a career total 138 triple doubles. During the 1961-1962 season, Oscar Robertson averaged a triple double with 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 11.4 assists per game. I'll still take Magic over the Big O as the all time greatest point guard. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Posted April 21, 2006 i'd been digging up wilt's stats and records he was a MF beast Quote
Noj Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 I've heard the thing about Wilt which can't be seen because there's no existing footage is the fact that he had freaky leaping ability. Apparently the Stilt could jump out of the building. Quote
