Okay, let’s try this again for another year! Hopefully we get more interest this year!
Simple concept. Pick who you think is going to win each matchup and in how many games. Get points for predicting the right winner and get more points for predicting the right amount of games (only if your team wins, of course). Points escalate as we go further into the playoffs. Scoring breakdown can be seen here: https://www.nbadraft.net/forums/topic/playoff-pickum-game-2016/
It’s probably the easiest just to follow my format (well, easier for me). So here are my picks for this year:
EAST:
First Round:
CLE (4)
MIL (6)
NY (5)
BOS (4)
Second Round:
CLE (6)
BOS (5)
Conference Finals:
BOS (6)
WEST:
First Round:
OKC (5)
LAC (6)
LAL (6)
HOU (6)
Second Round:
OKC (6)
LAL (5)
Conference Finals:
LAL (6)
NBA Finals:
BOS (6)
I know the playoffs aren’t fully set up yet, but there isn’t a lot of time between the play in games and the first round of the playoffs. Feel free to make updates to your guesses before each series starts.
Now let’s see your predictions!

Do play in stats count as play off or regular season stats or are they stand alone I just wondered.
I must admit I don’t like the 2nd chance games I just think it should be 7th vs 10th and 8th vs 9th with winners playing 2nd and 1st seeds respectively in the play off proper. Be straight play in games like in March Madness.

Going to change my first round prediction as Houston is now playing Golden State. I still the Rockets will pull it off, but I think it’ll be 7 games now.
