Playoff Pick'em Game

First topic message reminder :

Okay, here is how it's going to work:

For each series, you will pick a winner and how many games it will take. For picking the winner right you will get points in an increasing amount like so:

--First Round - 2 points
--Conference Semis - 4 points
--Conference Finals - 8 points
--NBA Finals - 16 points

If you pick the winner right, you will also get a bonus score for picking the correct number of games that the series lasts:

--First Round - 1 point
--Conference Semis - 2 points
--Conference Finals - 3 points
--NBA Finals - 4 points

Go ahead and make your picks. Here's the bracket:

Lakers in 6
Nuggets 6
Mavs 6
Suns 5
cavs 5
celts 6
magic 7
hawks 5

2nd round

Since I'm not losing anything important here, I just spiced up my choices and came up with something new.

bracket update

Spurs-Suns series go to a full 7 (Winner hopefully Spurs)
Cavs-Celtics series got to 6 (Cavs)

*Mark me down for these 2 series in the 2nd Rd

Spurs/Suns - Spurs in 6 games (eeeek; crosses fingers)
Cavaliers/Celtics - Cavaliers in 6 games just to be safe lol.
Jazz/Lakers - Jazz in 7 games (gulps)
Hawks/Magic - Magic in 6 games

You think Giggles the Ferbie knows what he's talking about with these predictions SRF? I think he is pretty all knowing.

LOL

Then what are Giggles' predictions for the semis?

I'm with Giggles on this one we both feel as though the Lakers are the defending champions that the only real Laker is a Salt Laker and being that it is damn near impossible to beat Utah in Larry Miller Energy Solutions that if Utah steals 1 in LA they have a chance to win the series. Giggles and I both state Utah in 6 or 7.

Now let's repeat this shall we:

Spurs - Suns (Winner in 7 hopefully Spurs)
Jazz- Lakers (Jazz in 6 or 7)
Cavs-Celtics (Cavs in 6 or 7)

Suns-Spurs = Spurs in 7
Lakers-Jazz = Jazz in 7
Celts-Cavs = Cavs in 6

I'll update when the winner in the game 7 of the Atlanta-Milwaukee series is decided

Next pick

Atlanta Hawks in 7 over the Orlando Magic

I'm calling it!!! Banking on an upset!!!
