3 Heat fans in the SF.....Shocking

 

[logic]

Round 2 Playoff Results: 3 of the final 4 are Heat fans... blah blah blah. :rollseyes: It's up to you, 4thStreet. You can tell it was a tough week just by looking at everyone's records.


Winners: Thunder, Mavs, Suns, Hawks, Wizards, Rockets, Jazz, Bulls, Bobcats, Spurs.

Spread Winners: Raptors, Mavs, Magic, Suns.

Tie-breaker: 237


1 vs. 8 = TurnUpTheHeat (9-5) vs. Hornsstampede (7-7) TurnUp advances to Round 3.
4 vs. 5 = Bksballer (7-7) vs. Logic (7-7)- BKS wins by tie-breaker... wow. Tough luck, logic.

2 vs. 10 = 4thStreet (8-4) vs. LoneGranger (0-0) 4thStreet wins by forfeit.
3 vs. 11 = Gordontrue (9-5) vs. Sportsguy (3-11) Gordontrue easily advances.

And the crazy part... all the higher seeds advanced. No upsets.... 1,2,3 & 4 seeds all in the Final Four.

Makes me hate the Suns more than I ever did!!! Not too fond of OKC right now either.
Good luck all.

It's a shame that it will be settled on a week of probably a lot of tank games.

Next year we should try to do it so it ends 2 weeks before season is over like in fantasy football.

Good call. Everyone ignore my last set of games. I have something better in mind to make the Final Four a lot more competitive. Stay tuned.

Was thinking same-Sting has new format dribbling in his head right now.

No tie breaker this week?

No tie breaker this week?

See post 245

He has another format forthcoming

Example of how the playoff format will look: (Obviously we have to wait until the first round playoff match ups are set)

We would do this for all 8 first round matchups.

1)Spurs vs. 8)Suns: Spurs in 6

Game 1: Spurs
Game 2: Spurs
Game 3: Suns
Game 4: Spurs
Game 5: Suns
Game 6: Spurs

You get 1 point for every game you get right and one point if you guess the right amount of games played and the correct winner.

So let's say the Spurs did win in 6 games in this example, but won the first three games and then game 6... then I would receive 1 point for predicting the series correctly and then 4 points for getting games 1, 2, 5 and 6 right. So a total of 5 points for 1 matchup.

Person with the most points wins and then we'd do the championship in Round 2 match ups.

Make sense?

Makes sense, but my suggestion would you picking out 3-4 series for the contest and then 1 other series as a tiebreaker.

I'll do whatever you decide though...this is your baby.

I'll bet the Heat fans predict the Raptors series better then you will.
Face it, we are a genius breed.

I like that. I think I'll pick 5 match ups and then do one as the tie-breaker so a total of six matchups are used. I'm going to leave out the Bobcats and Hawks series.
