Just clarifying can I edit my picks till the first game? 

Asking for a friend that said the Jazz would sweep....

I have that same friend.

Yep, I have an alarm set to remind me to get on and post when picks are locked (edit: alarm is set for 6p). After the time stamp of that post, any timestamped edits or posts after that are null and void!

Thank goodness for that! I made several changes after the game ones. 

I still think that the Lakers and their friends (everyone on payroll) in the League front office are going to make sure that they make it through their series by any means necessary (wish I could photoshop LeDickhead's face on Malcolm X).

The fact you wrote that in Comic Sans means you should be automatically disqualified.

Total of 19 eligible entries. Your score here will roll over to the second round picks. 

Wanted to get thoughts on the scoring going forward. With these being my thoughts:

Second round, scoring is doubled so correct picks are worth 2 points. If the Mavs make it to the second round, correct picks for them will be 4 points.

Third round, scoring is tripled so correct picks are worth 3 points. If the Mavs make it, their picks are worth 6 points.

Last round, picks worth 4 points and Mavs picks worth 8 points. Finals will have 1 other pick for a tiebreaker only. That is the number of points the winning team will score in the final game without going over. If both scores go over, the closest one wins.

Let me know your thoughts now, so we can hash it out before going further!

Was Dallas in 5 too ambitous?

Rasheed, FGump and Razzmatazz, I’m really sorry but you got your entries in after the deadline. You can continue to play for sure and I’ll tally your scores separately from the eligible entries, but I can’t name any of you the winner. Unless I get overwhelming reply to let you in. Only thing you really miss out on is a changed title, so not a huge deal, knowledge that you know you won is better, right???!!!

Edit: Also, as long as your entries are on time the rest of the way I’ll add those scores into the eligible pool. Who knows, maybe you need this kind of handicap to make it a challenge vs the rest of us dummies!

We’ll see tonight! If they win tonight the rest of us might be sweating (happily so) a bit!
