[shaunovery]

To be honest don't care who I have lets just get this started

[hugh_morris]

not much on the board...Celtics

[chico2663]

ill take the new york islanders

[MoneyLineDawg]

Toronto Raptors

[MoneyLineDawg]

Chico Islanders were taken already but my Raptors pick still stands.....as you need an NHL team

[chico2663]

ok my bad make it washington capitals

[daneblazer]

Yisman Vegas Me Shaun done

[yisman]

dammit I wanted the Raptors, they almost fell to me

now I have to see what's left

I also liked the Clippers, almost took them with my previous pick

[yisman]

so close to getting a decent team

I believe what's left is Brooklyn and Milwaukee in the NBA


I guess I'll take Milwaukee

[Vegas39]

guess leaves me Brooklyn

[MoneyLineDawg]

Rockets, Blackhawks, Red Wings all could go far for me but Raptors might get swept....damn thats a solid 4 going in you would think

Some of these basketball teams don't have a prayer

[daneblazer]

Ottawa only Nhl team left? Yea im not winning lol

[yisman]

I forgot, New Orleans is also left NBA

them vs. brooklyn, tough call

I guess I'd agree with vegas's pick anyway,to take brooklyn

[chico2663]

wow i had scoring all wrong

[MoneyLineDawg]

I don't get this scoring system....I thought it was just total wins for your 4 teams?

[spider]

Usually do winner take all... Can do 2nd if people want. Do it on a per game basis...so if a team loses 4 games to 2, you get 2 pts

I used dane's example (above) for scoring. basically its the same thing/result as counting every win as a single point.

[chico2663]

i am under the assumption that we are doing 1st and second. I hope that is way we are

[spider]

K. 700 pts for 1st, 300 2nd unless someone objects.

No bonuses, just wins

Shaunovery is up

yes, 1st is 700, 2nd is 300

[daneblazer]

I don't get this scoring system....I thought it was just total wins for your 4 teams?

It is

[daneblazer]

I used dane's example (above) for scoring. basically its the same thing/result as counting every win as a single point.

Oh lord, i fukked it up there. I intended on doing total wins...not sure how I
did that. Usually it's total wins...that's the way it's been in the past

[daneblazer]

Actually it makes sense. Lose 4 to 2 you get 2 pts. Win 4 to 2 you get 4, I didn't mess up after all

[spider]

re-did the standings using the "old" system, since it's easier for everyone to keep track of.

[yisman]

safe to say I'm out

even if warriors win it all I don't think I'll crack top 2

wild/blues was a tossup and I felt winner would make a run


spider, hugh, and shaun also out of it

[shaunovery]

Yep terrible picks by me gl everyone

[Vegas39]

i got 16 wins in first round but have no teams that will make the finals

Think Anaheim makes finals for you

[yisman]

Anaheim should be the favorite to win the Stanley Cup

[chico2663]

i think under old system i was lock for top 2 but this is way I was expecting.
