One On One Picks Update

To review... the rules: FTT Rivals DMtShooter and The Truth pick all playoff series. We get 10 points for getting the winning team right, 10 more for calling the right number of games, 5 for being one game off.

The picks...

Shooter Picks / Truth Picks

Toronto in 6 / New Jersey in 6
Detroit in 5 / Detroit in 5
Miami in 6 / Chicago in 6
Houston in 6 / Houston in 6
Cleveland in 4 / Cleveland in 5
Phoenix in 4 / Phoenix in 6
San Antonio in 5 / San Antonio in 6
Dallas in 5 / Dallas in 6

The Score:

Truth: 10 for the Bulls, 15 for the Cavs, 15 for the Pistons, 15 for Suns, 15 for Spurs, 20 for the Nets, for 90.

Shooter: 20 for the Cavs, 15 for the Pistons, 20 for Spurs, 15 for Suns, for 70.

Our picks are the same for Jazz-Rockets, so the first round lead will be Truth +20.

2nd round picks (for the series that start this weekend)...

Shooter / Truth

Suns in 7 / Suns in 6
Pistons in 6 / Pistons in 7
Cavs in 5 / Nets in 6
Warriors in 6 / Warriors in 6

Update: With tonight's closeout in Chicago, I pull in 40 points to the Truth's 30, cutting the lead to 10. Neither of us were smart enough to pull the string on the Jazz. It's 100-90, Truth.

Further update... The Cavs finally end the Nets, giving me a huge 30 point bump to the Truth's zero. Neither of us had the Spurs, so the second round is closed at 120-100, Shooter.

Third round picks, where the points double once more, soon...

Round 3

Shooter / Truth

Spurs in 6 / Spurs 6
Pistons in 6 / Pistons in 5

Ed. Note: We both win 60 for the Spurs winning in 5. Shooter 180, Truth 160.

Finals - The Truth goes for the underdog in a last-ditch attempt to close the gap.

Shooter / Truth

Spurs in 5 / Cavs in 6
