All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.
Last Year's Thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4029458&pagenumber=1

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!

Please pay attention to when the submissions close, you cannot change your answers (which is important for the Play-in). Sometimes I word questions stupidly so please ask for clarification and I reserve the right to make changes to match intent.

Play in: (Guess the winner of each round. For the 8th seed rounds you don't need to have correctly guessed the loser, just the winner for those points).
Note: You cannot change your answer (RICK!) so your 8th seed game might not have teams still in it. You can also vote non-sensical outcomes if you want to hedge your bets or you still don't quite understand how the play-in works yet.
(1pt per guess, this round is the lowest points)
