We did this last year, and it was a lot of fun. This is a free bracket game that anyone here can join. It's just us against us to see who the best prognosticator is.
I posted this link in the March Madness thread, but figured it deserves it's own thread. It will be fun to watch draft prospects, rooting interests, and to watch all of you fools burn to the ground....mwuhaha.

I like to fill my bracket out the day after each round. That way there aren't any mistakes.

Ever notice how all the "experts" in the forum who claim to know everything never participate in any of the prediction games?

Kingspeed quit the fantasy league after one season. Guess he didn't want another last place finish on his resume.

Wasn't talking about Kingspeed, he still makes lots of predictions.

I'm an expert!

I just can't get into rooting for non-Blazers anymore, especially when they play the Blazers and ultimately I forget to update my roster. Back in the 00s though, I used to play in like 3,4 leagues at once and had a blast. Had a lot of time on my hands.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So far all of my picks are correct!

Sames, dog.

 

[PDXFonz]

16 people right now, still have until the 16th at noon to fill one out!

Noon Eastern. So 9 Pacific.

 

[PDXFonz]

Yes, thank you for clarifying!

Did you fill yours out yet?

I'm gonna try to fill mine out tonight. Doing the same thing I do every year, follow players who will be in the draft off and on throughout the year, but pay little to no attention to how their team plays as a whole. Do a little bit of statistical research and analysis along with some analyst reading and base my picks off of that. This year is going to be an interesting one for the tournament. I predict a lot of risers in the draft, and a lot of fallers after all is said and done. Still think Adebayo will climb based off his play in the tourny. I think this tournament more so than most in the past decade will be determined by stars more so than role players. Guys like Dwayne Bacon are either going to sizzle or fizzle, and their team is going to go as far as they take them.

Before even looking at who plays who I'm going to predict that I end up taking fewer upsets than I have in previous years.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Yep I did. Didn't find too many upsets. 3-4 maybe in first round and only like two in the second.

 

[PDXFonz]

Alright I've filled it out and will mull it over until the deadline. Villanova is a crap shoot, either I pick them and they get knocked out, or I don't pick them and they go far...Happens every freaking year!

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

So this is NOT my actual bracket, just showing it for a laugh or two. Winners were determined on a Heads/Tails flip of a quarter. Heads for high seed, Tails for low seed.

This is the result......

Really? That blows. I will screen shot it when I get home and I am not a work computer.

Some very difficult matchups to predict this year

 

[PDXFonz]

Excited to see who's on who's bandwagon.

Who's got Lonzo Ball and TJ Leaf doing damage?

Who's got Kentucky's big 3 being too much for their opponents?

Who's got Trier and Markannen finding their way out of the west?

Who's rolling with Tatum and the Blue Devils?

Is it finally the year that the Zags do something serious in the tourney?

Out of the 20 brackets entered I bet at least one person has taken each of the top teams to win it all!

We'll find out tomorrow!

 

[PDXFonz]

I filled out 6 total brackets in the quest for a perfect one. The more I fill these things out the more I realize that this is going to be a tough year to predict.

The South bracket is tough. Whoever makes it out of there will definitely be battle hardened.

I literally picked at random

I think it's going to be the best year for NBA fans to watch the tournament in some time. Not just because of the talent level, but how many talented players there are in the tournament.

With 3 picks in the draft Blazers fans have extra incentive to be excited about the tournament this year.

 

[BonesJones]

If anyone wants to join an additional bracket pool, I'm running one with a $20 buy-in, winner gets most. Bonus points for upsets.

Would love to have a couple people from the forum.

Have 10 people or so already. Here's the link:

Been trying for 25 minutes to post the screen shot of my Heads/Tails bracket and can't seem to do it so screw it. This will be my official bracket on here and I will make a serious one from the money group I am a part of at work.

You can create two brackets on yahoo. Click on "my brackets and groups" and at the bottom there is an option to create a new bracket. Then you can enter your serious bracket into the group, and tomorrow you can copy and paste your phony bracket and people will be able to see it.

As far as posting a screen shot. If you are on a PC you should be able to hit print screen and then simply just hit Ctrl+V in the message window.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I've got 20th place all locked up.

 

[MickZagger]

i'm in it to win it
