[BonesJones]

TRY YOUR BEST AT PREDICTING THE PLAYOFFS! HERE'S HOW IT GOES:

-State the winner of each series, the number of games it takes, and which games that teams wins and loses (if the series is 5 games or longer).
EX: Blazers in 6 (W L W W L W), Spurs in 5 (W W L W W), etc.

-We'll predict it round by round, and I will have updated standings after each round.

Is doing the entire playoffs too much? We could predict it round by round haha.

Probably more reasonable to do one round at a time
