GAME: Predict the 2013 NBA Playoffs

There will be 3 winners:
a) winner of the "predict the complete postseason"
b) winner of the "predict the Knicks postseason"
c) overall winner (most points combined in the first 2 games)


GAME 1: PREDICT THE COMPLETE POSTSEASON


RULES:

You get 10 points for correctly guessing winner of the 1st round series

You get 15 points for correctly guessing winner of the 2nd round series
You get 5 points for correctly guessing the correct result

You get 20 points for correctly guessing winner of the ECF
You get 10 points for correctly guessing the correct result

You get 30 points for correctly guessing winner of the Finals
You get 15 points for correctly guessing the correct result

NOTE: If you predict (for example) that Miami will beat the Nets in the 2nd round but they actually beat the Bulls you get 0 points because

bluechox2: 70
franchize 50
Clutch 45

Re: GAME: Predict the 2013 NBA Playoffs
 

I'll make the list and update the score in the opening post.

I know many of you will attack me for saying Celtics in 6 but I really have a bad feeling about this one. If we were playing the Hawks,Pacers,Nets or Bucks in the 1st round I would almost be assured we would get past them.
I think the Celtics will take a closely contested game 1 by Paul Pierce hitting big shot after big shot. Knicks would then come back in game 2 but Celtics will make them lose their composure and eventually lose the series because of that.

I really hope I'm wrong though.

Make your predictions.

Re: GAME: Predict the 2013 NBA Playoffs
 

I think we may go 7 games so I cant be mad at you for saying Celtics in 6. I think we win but I don't think this is the cake walk our fan base seems to think it will be. I think we are going to have to gut this one out. I just find it hard to envision a team with Paul Pierce, KG, JT and coached by Doc Rivers, surrounded by that many hard workers, allowing themselves to be taken out easy.

Re: GAME: Predict the 2013 NBA Playoffs
 

Fair enough. Could you make the predictions like I did ?
I want all of you Knicks fans to do the same so we can see who'll come out as a winner.

I didn't want to post this to the main board because there are too many trolls out there.

Play the game,I spent much time to write all of this :lol

Get back to me on this one. Knicks vs Pacers will go 7 games though

Thunder in 5
Denver in 4

Re: GAME: Predict the 2013 NBA Playoffs
 

To be honest I think if we get past the Celtics that we'll make the ECF.

IMO Pacers are the most overrated playoff team and I'm much more scared of Boston than them. What did they do to earn that respect ? Beat the Dwight-less Magic team and then took 2 games from the Heat WITHOUT Bosh.

They play physical basketball but that's it. No real talent on that team. Just a bunch of mediocre players. We would beat them in 5 or 6. I'm pretty sure we would win both games at MSG,steal one on the road,lead it 3-1 and then finish them off in one of the next two.

Celtics are the team that worry me,not the Pacers.

Re: GAME: Predict the 2013 NBA Playoffs
 

I just noticed I never made the second part...
on the other hand I nailed the Lakers sweep :rockon:

Re: GAME: Predict the 2013 NBA Playoffs
 

original predictions

Heat in 4
Knicks in 6
Pacers in 5
Chicago in 6

Thunder in 4
Spurs in 5
Nuggets in 5
Clippers in 7

6/8 in picking winners
out of the series I picked correctly, I was off on the series length by a combined 5 games... not bad.

going by that metric, jasi had the best first round predictions. he correctly picked 6/8 winners and of those 6 series, he was off on series length by only one game (in the Thunder series too, the results of which are skewed due to Westbrook's injury)

for the next round, I'll have to revise my picks:

Heat in 5
Knicks in 6
Memphis in 6
Spurs in 5

Re: GAME: Predict the 2013 NBA Playoffs
 

:wtf: I don't think you can revise your picks. The ones you had at the beginning remain.

Re: GAME: Predict the 2013 NBA Playoffs
 

My Eastern conference predictions for the first round were completely perfect :pimp:

Clutch can you make a 1st round update?

Re: GAME: Predict the 2013 NBA Playoffs
 

Jasi is right,you can't reverse your picks.

Since no one played the game 2 I'll give you the right to make your predictions again,this time for round 2.
Hopefully someone will play the game.

MY PREDICTIONS:

Game 1: Knicks by 5
Game 2: Knicks by 12
Game 3: Pacers by 7
Game 4: Pacers by 1
Game 5: Knicks by 9
Game 6: Knicks by 2

I was just going to make it. :D
