Okay, I'm game.

And if you can cherry-pick, then do it!

Wed Wizards Vs Bucks
Thurs Raptors Vs Hawks
Fri Nuggets Vs 76ers
Sat (2/9) Spurs Vs Jazz
Sat (2/9) Pelicans Vs Grizzles


It’s actually advantageous to go second. Since I picked the games I’ll pick first sometime tomorrow. Then you’ll have up until tip off of the first game. If you want to pick first go ahead. I’ll probably do it around noon tomorrow.

I went 4/10 on tonight's UFC picks. FML.

I don't follow the NBA very closely, so I'm going to have to go with whatever information I find online. Judge me accordingly LOL. And I want to get your old ass into some MMA!

CONFIDENCE PICKS:

1) Bucks > Wizards [February 6, 2019]
-- Worth 5 points

2) Raptors > Hawks [February 7, 2019]
-- Worth 4 points

3) Jazz > Spurs [February 9, 2019]
-- Worth 3 points

4) 76ers > Nuggets [February 8, 2019]
-- Worth 2 points

5) Pelicans > Grizzlies [February 9, 2019]
-- Worth 1 point

And we can just add these points to our regular totals. No reason to not mix it up from time to time
Let me know if I did it correctly.

You did it right. That’s going to be hard to beat.

Bucks > Wizards 5
Raptors > Hawks 4
Nuggets > Sixers 3
Spurs > Jazz 2
Grizzlies > Pelicans 1

Good luck

I'll pencil in your picks. So, we get the allotted number of points for each correct guess, right? We don't have to get all 5 correct to win points? And we both win points, or just whoever has the higher score?

Okay guys, now that this thread is getting a bit of traction, let's get some feedback. Suggestions? Critiques? What do you like / dislike? What could be better?

That’s all there is to it.

Okay, I didn't know if it was like a winner-take-all type of scenario.

I did your NBA thing, now you have to do some MMA picks. We have a couple of UFCs and Bellators this month. You down? We can do the confidence picks or just pick winners in general.
