BruceW Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 It's even more impressive since you completely got the Denver-Clips series wrong. Precision is rewarded, my friend! Guy Heck, it's amazing I am not even lower considering I got both the Denver-Clips and Clev-Wash series wrong. Now that is strange, if you got two series wrong that is a possible 20 points off. How could you have 66 points. Sounds like your tops would be 60 if everything else was perfect. Exactly what were your picks, can you check the picks Soulstation?? (not trying to rain on his parade but he admits to having two series completely wrong). There was only a possibility of 80 points if a person was perfect on all picks. Quote
md655321 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 if you get the winner wrong, do you still get points for the number of games? Quote
Bright Moments Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 Miami stinks. They were lucky to get by Chicago in the first round. ouch! its not over jim - stay tuned! Quote
Guy Berger Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 if you get the winner wrong, do you still get points for the number of games? No. But you still get some points for getting close -- for example, 3 pts for picking the wrong winner of a series that goes 7 games. Guy Quote

Guy Berger Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) What's Elton Brand's career high? He gave Sam Cassell a good whack in the head near the end of the game. The Clips will have a hard time winning at the Suns' pace. They were close in this one, though. Do people agree with Barkley's claim that Kobe intentionally stopped shooting at the end of game 7 to prove a point? ( Text message him to let him know. ) Guy Edited May 9, 2006 by Guy Quote

Guy i think that is what i meant. why would you get 3 pts if it went to game 7? is that only if you picked it to go 6? Quote

Guy i think that is what i meant. why would you get 3 pts if it went to game 7? is that only if you picked it to go 6? Let's say that you pick the Suns to beat the Clippers in 7. The Clippers end up winning the series in 7. Since you were within one game of picking the outcome correctly, you get 3 points. If the Clippers end up winning in 6, you get 1 pt because you were within 2 games. Guy Quote

Here is the original scoring system that Soulstation gave in Post 1 Scoring System Series 05 points for 1st round winners x 8 teams = 40 points possible 10 points for 2nd round winners x 4 teams = 40 points possible 15 points for 3rd round winners x 2 teams = 30 points possible 20 points for 4th round winner X 1 team = 20 points possible 130 points possible for the series winners Number Of Games Per Series All Series Same Point Total 5 points for bull-eye 3 points within 1 game 1 point within 2 games Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Posted May 10, 2006 all my teams might be out of the play-offs by the 2nd round... did big ben airball any free-throws last night? that series is lookin' like a sweep i'm hoping the mavs can beat the spurs would be their biggest play-off series win ever...

Noj Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 Go Clippers! Go mf Mavs! Go (whoever) and get spanked by the Pistons! Quote
Guy Berger Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 Mavs looked great last night. I figure the teams will split the next two games and the Mavs will need to win another game in SA. Guy Quote

Big Ben was on a tear, he was making one for two a few times and yes, the misses were air balls. Pistons got real complacent in final minutes of 4th quarter. An absolute rout turned into survival or at worst, "holding on." Mavs looking really good last night. BUT ALL MY TEAMS STILL ALIVE IN 2ND ROUND GO PISTONS :bwallace2: :bwallace2: :bwallace2: Edited May 10, 2006 by BruceW Quote

Whoop dee doo, they beat New Jersey at home. The Clips are beating Phoenix at their own game. Crazy. Guy Edited May 11, 2006 by Guy Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 Miami stinks. They were lucky to get by Chicago in the first round. still think miami stinks jim! Yep. If they make it past the Nets, just wait until the Pistons get their hands on them. Quote

connoisseur series500 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 What's with all these boring blow-outs? I can remember only a couple of good games so far. One was game 6 of Lakers-Suns, and there were some good games in the Cavs-Wizards series. Man, its' been boring. Let's hope the games get tighter as we get into the final rounds. (that's a yawn!)

Soulstation1 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Posted May 11, 2006 No BB tonight i wish cuban would keep his ass off the basketball court his act is getting old Quote
Guy Berger Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 No BB tonight Isn't that a little weird? Do the Spurs/Mavs and Pistons/Cavs really need four days off? Guy Quote
