Ill update the spreadsheet tomorrow. All of you are wrong (except Ractoh) and picked Spurs so don't even expect your scores to go up lol.

Pretty sure Racthoh picked GS and CLE. And he got one record right I think. So...he'll have 6 + 6 + 4 + 6 = 22. He's the new points leader.

[Racthoh]

can't believe they pulled it off in 6, holy shit

[Knyx]

Hell yea I'm serious about the name haha. Kobe is my all time favorite player.

If that's your favorite player, go for it. I'm lucky I never had a son, because my favorite Hawk of all time is Mookie Blaylock. Mookie Hall would not be a great name for a white kid (fuck it, any kid for that matter).

Fun fact: Pearl Jam originally wanted to name themselves Mookie Blaylock, but due to legal reasons settled on just naming their first album "Ten" after his jersey number.

Lol at least my favorite person isn't gaylord perry or something. that wouldn't go over well!

[Crissi]

Now need GS to crush the thunder. The thunder do not deserve any championship. They need to continue to fail until their owner flips.

and won the bet! Not in the way I expected, but a win is a win.
@THE Bigzoman. Come show off your new look!

wtf SAS =(

@Blueobelisk

GSW 6
CLE 4

[ItachiZaku]

If I'm building a team, still taking Jesus Shuttlesworth over Weak-ankles Curry.

[Faltemer]

My picks for the next round:
GSW in 5
Cleveland over whoever in 5 as well.

[Blueobelisk]

Racthoh is currently leading with 22 points, as mentioned before.

The Western Conference Finals start on Monday. Get your pick(s) in before then.
GSW vs. OKC
CLE vs. TOR
CLE vs. MIA

You can pick for all those if you want to decide the Cleveland series beforehand, as well.

Oh as for points, I think +8 for the correct team and +6 for the correct record is fine for the conference finals. There's not a lot of wiggle room to win the Conference Finals predictions itself so the only point is to beef your score up for the final results.

Not gonna lie. I'm really disappointed Spurs lost. Yes, OKC is a young and exciting team. Yes, they have two star players who people want to see match up against GS's young team. But Spurs were so good. Didn't they get like 66 or 67 wins? That's like a 50% chance to win the championship. And for them to get bounced in the second round...wow...Clearly not a lot of us saw it coming.

I'm very sad.

Spurs are only the second 67+ win team that failed to make the conference finals. The other was the Mavs in 2007.

[Stommped]

GSW in 6
CLE in 4

[Racthoh]

mfw my weird predictions pay off

GSW vs. OKC - OKC in 7
CLE vs. TOR - CLE in 5
CLE vs. MIA - MIA in .... 7

HEATWAVE coming to the north let's gooooo

[Demoncrash]

CAVs in 5
GSW in 6

[Knyx]

GSW in 6
CLE in 6

[sheffield]

GSW 5

if MIA then CLE 5
if TOR then CLE 4

[Adp]

GSW in 5
Cavs in 4 for either team

[Blueobelisk]

Draymond Green was gonna splash Steph with water but he threw a towel behind his head without looking and knocked the cup out of his hand.

This n_gga has hacks. I can't think of anything else. I just can't.

[-aiko-]

Seems like I missed a lot this week...I literally cannot believe the Spurs blew it. Also glad to see Curry is back and really putting in his all.

Annnyways, regardless of who wins game 7 here are my predictions for the conference finals:

GSW in 6
CLE in 5

[Blueobelisk]

Raptors vs. Heat game 7 right now. ABC Sunday day games.
