General Board NBA Season Contest Official Thread 

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Fri Dec 16, 2011 7:17 pm

I did a test run last season and it seemed to be successful during the few weeks I kept up with it. I intend to keep up with this one for the entire season, but it possibly won't be daily, so you'll need to check the board to see when it's going to be held. The thread will be locked depending on the amount of people that have participated since I have to count and add up all the correct picks.

Most correct picks will be worth 1 point unless noted otherwise.

1) Team To Represent The Western Conference In The Finals
Worth 1 point
Los Angeles Lakers
Dallas Mavericks
Oklahoma City Thunder
Worth 2 points
Los Angeles Clippers
Portland Blazers
San Antonio Spurs
Memphis
Worth 3 points
Houston
Phoenix Suns
Utah Jazz
Denver
Golden State Warriors
Worth 4 points
Minnesota T-Wolves
New Orleans Hornets
Sacramento Kings

2) Team to Represent The Eastern Conference In The Finals
Worth 1 point
Boston
Chicago
Miami
Worth 2 points
New York
Worth 3 points

Charlotte
New Jersey
Philadelphia
Toronto

3) NBA Champions
Worth 1 point
Los Angeles Lakers
Dallas Mavericks

Golden State Warriors
Minnesota T-Wolves
New Orleans Hornets

Atlanta
Orlando
Indiana
Detroit
Milwaukee
Charlotte
New Jersey
Philadelphia
Toronto
Washington
Cleveland

12/25 Games
4) Who wins: Boston or New York?
5) Miami -3 @ Dallas +3 (Example: if you pick Miami they must win by 4, if you pick Dallas you win if they lose by 2 points or win outright.)
6) Chicago Bulls Over/Under 92.5 points
7) Orlando +6.5 @ OKC -6.5
8) LA Clippers -1.5 @ GS Warriors +1.5
9) LA Lakers Over/Under 95.5 points

I normally do a prize.

I plan on deciding later if a prize will be involved or if it's just going to be for fun.

This week is key because I probably won't offer 9 picks most of the time. I'll probably keep it around 4 or 5.

Ah, good point. I took #s 1 and 2 to mean who wins the regular season top seed in each conference.

HMFFL, are those playoff or regular season answers you're looking for, for numbers 1 and 2?

Hmm, I intended for it to be about the playoffs, but I can see how it can go both ways. I'll edit it to make it clear.

Your emotions fuel the narratives that you create. You see what you want to see. You believe what you want to believe. You ascribe meaning when it is not there. You create significance when it is not present.
