Since this is the final day of the regular season. I'd figure I go ahead and start the playoff prediction pool.

As usual, like all prediction pools I've done, you pick the team that you'll advance for points. There's also Bonus Points that you can get, by predicting that team that will represent the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference, and the NBA Finals. It's that's easy. Here's the breakdown:

...............................................................................................................................................


**BONUS POINTS**
Which Eastern Conference team will represent the NBA Finals?....3 points
Which Western Conference team will represent the NBA Finals?....3 points
Who will win the NBA Finals?.....4 points


...............................................................................................................................................

Instead of getting 4 points and 5 points for the Conference Champion, I've down it to 3 points for the Conference Champion and 4 points for the NBA Finals. That should have been what it was last year, but I got in a big hurry.

Once the playoffs are set for April 16, the schedule for the First Round will be posted. Like last year's playoffs, I won't be doing the Play-In Tournament because I find it very confusing.

You have until April 16, which is the start of the Playoffs, to make your picks.


THE SIGNUPS BEGIN NOW!
