***SCOREBOARD***
ROSIE............................10 points (+2)
CHRIS..........................9 points (+2)
DEADD2009.................8 points (+1)
HOSS.............................8 points (+2)
PAT................................7 points (0)
DOOM...........................7 points (+1)
HOHO..........................6 points (+2)
TOMMY BEDLAM..........6 points (0)
OMB..............................5 points (0)
BLAZE..........................4 points (0)

- After the Second Round, or the Conference Semifinals, Rosie retains the lead with 10 points. She got two right, but she won't receive the bonus points since the Nuggets were eliminated by the Timberwolves. She also retains her Eastern Conference and Finals Pick the Celtics.

- Chris retains second, getting two picks right getting the Timberwolves and Celtics right, bringing a total of 9 points. Like Rosie, he won't get the bonus points for his Western Conference Finals since he too pick the Nuggets to win. He still retains his Eastern Conference Finals pick and his NBA Finals pick, both the Celtics.

- Deadd retains third but is tied with Hoss with 8 points each. Unfortunately, Deadd's two latter picks of the Conference Semifinals were a no-show and he won't receive any bonus points as the teams he picked were eventually eliminated. Tough break dude. Meanwhile, Hoss still retains his Eastern Conference Finals pick and his NBA Finals pick which is too, the Celtics.

- Pat was a no-show. Therefore, he receives no points. Like Rosie, Chris and Hoss, he has his Eastern Conference Finals and Finals pick which is who? The Celtics. Yours truly ties Pat, each with 7 points total. Unfortunately, with the Nuggets eliminated, which I picked them to win the Western Conference Finals and the NBA Finals, I won't receive the bonus points.

- HoHo and Tommy are now tied with 6 points each. Tommy had no luck in the Second Round as he scored no points, the latter two which were no picks. Fortunately, like most of the people in the contest, the Eastern Conference and NBA Finals pick, the Celtics, is still intact.

- OMB was a no-show, so he won't receive any picks as he has 5 points total. He also won't receive any bonus picks as the teams he picked were eliminated.

- And finally, Blaze. Sadly, he didn't score any points. He's dead last with 4 points.​

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I suck lol

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Damn. I'm down bad lol

 

[Rosie]

And yet, I don't know Basketball.

Guess I need to get into it?

Since @Doom is on a break for at least a week, I'll tag people to get predictions in.

@Rosie @Chris @Hidden Blaze @Deadd2009 @Hoss @Pat @Apoho Creed @Tommy Bedlam @Daddy Deville

The NBA finals are set:

The Dallas Mavericks

Vs

The Boston Celtics

Finals start on June 6th

Of the predictions, from what I see, everyone picked the Celtics last round, but only myself, @Daddy Deville and @Hidden Blaze picked the Mavs.

The 2023-24 NBA Regular Season has come to a close, and you know what that means? The return of the 2024 NBA Playoff Prediction Pool~!!! *yay*

Yours truly was last year's winner, successfully picking the Nuggets to win it all. I admit that I forgot to announce myself as the winner, nor I created a banner to celebrate. My apologies folks.

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:

And for the Finals picks, myself, Tommy, Pat, Hoss, Hoho, Doom, Chris, and Blaze all picked the Celtics to make it, nobody picked the Mavs. Of the people who picked the Celtics to make it, myself, Tommy, Pat, Hoho, Chris, and Blaze, all picked the Celtics to ship the NBA trophy up to Boston.

So if we can make our picks, that'd be good. Then once Doom is back, he can make the calculations for the score.



-Picking Celtics for me-

 

[Apoho Creed]

I won't like it but I have to go with the Celtics but I'm pulling for the Mavs for sure

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Rode with Boston since the start, riding with them here. Give me the Celtics.

 

[Chris]

Celtics

 

[Rosie]

 

[Deadd2009]

Celtics

 

[Hoss]

Mavericks

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Boston

 

[Doom]

Here's the standings after the Conference Finals:

***SCOREBOARD***
ROSIE............................15 points (+5)
CHRIS..........................13 points (+4)
HOSS.............................12 points (+4)
DOOM...........................11 points (+4)
HOHO..........................10 points (+4)
TOMMY BEDLAM..........10 points (+4)
BLAZE..........................9 points (+5)
DEADD2009.................9 points (+1)
PAT................................7 points (0)
OMB..............................6 points (+1)

Okay folks, y'all have a good day.​

 

[Doom]

After I get home from work, I'll tally up the points for both NBA and Stanley Cup Playoff Prediction Pools and post the final results.

 

[Rosie]

I think I know it...

But that is what happens when you invite the non-Basketball fan to come in when she has no personal fav team to affect her bias.
