Welcome to the 2023 NBA Playoff/Play-in Game!

Every round + Play in I'll post the teams + questions. You get points for guessing winner + # of games, and points for correctly answering bonus questions.
Each round the points will go up, so you can bomb the first round and still be in it (Play-in will be worth less points in general).
I'll keep running tabs on total points and the winner will get a gift cert/charity donation of up to $10! THAT'S CRAZY

You can definitely come back and the play-in is hardly any points so if you miss it don't sweat it!

Bah, changing my prediction to the Lakers taking the 7. I think the Wolves can beat the Thunder or Pels again.

With Rudy I truly thought it was basically a coin flip, but I just don't like the matchup anymore.
