Title: RaptorsGM's Playoff Challenge Post by: CelticsGM on June 28, 2005, 10:27:58 AM Quote from: RaptorsGM Thanks ALOT for that, Celtics, saved me alot of work. ... apparently not, as the standings are incorrect. I got Nets 15 Sixers 13 Celtics 12 all the rest 11 or will you tell me the # of games won't count without the correct winner ??? (for verification, I got correct: Raps, TD, 5gm & JO, Magic & Amare, Mavs & 6gm & Dirk, TMac, , TWolvers & KG - making it 12 right) Title: RaptorsGM's Playoff Challenge Post by: RaptorsGM on June 28, 2005, 10:33:40 AM No, # of games is a sperate thing.

Again you're right, your not only a great GM but a great mathematician as well ... Because Peja and JO both shared leading scorer honors, my proggi missed the score there, so additional 3pts for both of us ! 8) Title: RaptorsGM's Playoff Challenge Post by: RaptorsGM on July 01, 2005, 08:29:58 AM LOL, my own contest and I forget to enter.
Title: RaptorsGM's Playoff Challenge Post by: CelticsGM on July 01, 2005, 08:47:02 AM Quote from: RaptorsGM LOL, my own contest and I forget to enter. Well, in a hundred or so years people will just look at the final standings and see 1. CelticsGM 51 pts 2. NetsGM 48 pts 3. RaptorsGM 21 pts and will think "Oh man, looks like one guy is competely clueless out there! And WHAT? It's his OWN contest ... ?" :wink: :wink: Title: RaptorsGM's Playoff Challenge Post by: RaptorsGM on July 01, 2005, 08:50:17 AM I think people already know I'm clueless ;)
Title: RaptorsGM's Playoff Challenge Post by: CelticsGM on July 02, 2005, 07:19:08 PM So here are my finals predictions (and just in case u call me cheater, I know that the Jazz have won but didn't check the boxscores yet, so this is really how I would have predicted):
winner: Pacers games: 6 scorer: JO and to explain this: I HAVE to pick the pacers for them to lose. I picked them loser in all series and they won. So for them to lose I have to pick them to win - understand ? (I have the Pacers #1 pick which would fall to #29 if they win) 6 games is a guess for the 2-3-2 format favors the road team. And Murph can not stop JO, no way. Kiri will be slowed by RonRon and if Redd held Petitt in check he can do the same to Hughes. so let's see who won ... :wink: |
