These are pretty much my exact predictions. Except, I'd add a game each to the Blazers and Jazz series.

You really trash warriors will lose?

You really trash warriors will lose?

I do. Without Steph, they are really vulnerable in the first round.

Kingspeeds celebrating with alcohol!

And when the Jazz beat the Cockets HCA in the WCF too...

Hey what if both the teams who go to the finals have the same seed?

So OKC did get HCA over the Jazz

Yep. Jazz shot themselves in their own collective foot.

Surprised at how close our WC predictions are, and how far off our EC predictions are.

The East is pretty close this season imo. Good mix of vet teams and young teams. I think the Sixers will struggle, these guys have never sniffed playoff contention.

Is this going to be a contest?
Who is going to compile everyone's guesses?

What are the rules?

I'd vote that closest to the total right games (with total score closest to 0).

For example, Portland & NOP. If I pick Blazers in 5, I'm predicting 4 Blazer wins & 1 NOP win. If Blazers win in 7, that would mean the NOP won 3 games (instead of 1 predicted), so I'd get a +2 score. If NOP won the series in 6, they would have 4 wins (compared to 1 predicted for a +3) & Portland would have 2 wins (compared to 4 predicted for a +2) so my total score for the series would be +5.

Whomever is closest to 0 wins. That make sense?

East - Raptors, Celtics, Sixers, Cavs. My God, don't expect me to know in how many games. It's all I can do to call the winners.

West - Rockets, Warriors, Blazers, Jazz.

Hey, just that little bit wore me out. I'm old. Okay?

Edit: Raptors in 5, Celtics in 6, Sixers in 5, Cavs in 6;
Houston in 4, Warriors in 6, Portland in 6, Utah in 5.
Whew, I'm so tired I think it's time for a nap.

Sounds good. You're in charge.
