2024 NBA Playoffs
The National Basketball Association is the highest level of men's professional basketball in North America. Every year, 16 of the league's 30 teams compete in four rounds of best-of-7 series for the right to lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy as the NBA champion. A recent twist is the Play-In Tournament involving teams seven through ten in each conference's standings, contesting a modified Page-McIntyre bracket to determine the 7 and 8 seeds. The original intent was to pick those games too, but I ran out of time to post this ahead of those games.
This contest will take place in the standard 16-team, four-round, straight knockout format. Correct picks will be worth 1 point each in the first and second rounds, 2 points each in the conference finals, and 4 points in the NBA Finals. This contest is part of the 2023-24 Legion Cup. It also awards points toward the North American and Basketball Cups. Unless we reach the threshold of 10 participants, the prize to the winner is 2 slot-equivalents. If we reach 10 participants, the prize will be 3 slot-equivalents, and the point allocation for both cups will be doubled. The first round will begin on Saturday. The 8 seeds will be determined by the last two play-in games on Friday. I will edit this post and the contest calendar once that happens, ahead of their games on Sunday. Here are the match-ups and game 1 start times for the first round:
Good luck!

Re: 2024 NBA Playoffs
Three series have concluded so far. The Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves both swept their opponents, and the Denver Nuggets won in 5 games. Minnesota and Denver will meet in the conference semifinals, starting May 4 at a time TBD. This may be before the end of the first round (game 7 for the remaining series would be on or after that date), so please make your picks for the following series before May 4 at a TBD time:
(West 2) Denver Nuggets vs. (West 3) Minnesota Timberwolves Oklahoma City's opponent is TBD. The Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks are currently tied 2-2, and Oklahoma City would play the winner of that series.
