Well, hoping for the success of this event/contest.

I am able to participate? :D If yes, I will drop it here later my prediction.

Thank you.

Very kind of you, thank's.
Will update this in the OP, so everyone would see.

When are you going to post your prediction?  ;D

question lang dun sa letter E sa format, mga teams lang ba yun sa first round? magkakaroon ba ulit ng score prediction pagdating sa 2nd round ng playoffs?

For the first round only, you can make a maximum of 8 prediction if you wish, that would give better points for correct answers.

Kelan deadline ng submission ng entry kung sakali sir? Para mapag isipan ng maayos yung gagawing predictions kung sakali.

Tsaka clarify ko lang sa letter E, ibig ba non sabihin pwedeng gumawa ng prediction kada bracket ng magtatapat na team? O pwedeng sa isang magtatapat ng team halimbawa GS vs Spurs 4-3 o 3-4 e pwedeng magpredict ng ganyan?

A day before the first game of the first teams that will play in the playoffs.



One prediction per match up, so that's maximum of 8 predictions for 16 teams playing in the first round.
You can make a prediction now, don't worry, you can still edit in case you change your mind but before the first like I said above.

Nakita ko walang deadline ng submission maganda sana kung makita natin and dealine para kung mag predict man ako doon sa malapit na deadline. ;D
Pasali din ako boss pero pag isipan ko muna ng maigi kung sino ba ilagay ko sa braket. Pwedi naba simulan boss?

So, it seems like no one has posted their prediction yet. Ok let me do the honor first lol 😁

EDITED : Still needs to be edited lol.

(A) MVP - Giannis Antetokounmpo ( Im really hoping he would continue the MVP race after he had a minor injury during the Clippers game.)

(B) ROTY - Luka Doncic

(C) NBA Finals Champion Team - Warriors

(D) Final 4 in the Playoffs - Warriors, Nuggets, Raptors, Bucks

(E) Bucks 4 Vs. Pistons 1
      Raptors 4 Vs. Orlando 1
      76ers 4 Vs. Nets 0
      Boston 4 Vs. Pacers 2
      Warrios 4 Vs. Clippers 1
      Nuggets 4 vs. Spurs 3
      Rockets 4 Vs. Thunder 3
      Blazers 4 Vs. Jazz 2
      

Excited ako sumali dito hahaha, pero hintayin ko muna mga final standings para mapagaralan ko at maramdaman ko kung sino ba talaga ang pasok sa banga. Nice formatting Mirakal, di hamak na mas maganda yung iyo.

Paano kapag nag tie ang score after ng competition, maghahati?

Yung MVP ata ng regular season ina-announce before ng playoffs(di ako sure), Di ba mas okay kung sino Finals MVP = Big points kasi yun yung pinakamahirap, tulad nung first champ ng GSW noong 2015 si Igoudala ang MVP.

Yes you can start now, and you are also allowed to make an edit

---

The total pot will be divided equally among winners.




I made some research, they announce it during the playoffs.
I also like the Finals MVP though, but I think I will just stick with the rules above, I already finalized it and one member already made his prediction.
I don't want to cause confusion, the criteria are already fun enough to for this game IMO.

I have changes.

(A)MVP would be Antetokounmpo
(B)ROTY would be Luka Doncic
(C)Warriors, without a doubt
(D)Warriors, Nuggets - Bucks, Raptors
(E)
 
I just tried to put my vote. But, I do not have the merits to join so I'll just put it here.

Bucks 4 Vs. Pistons 1
Raptors 4 Vs. Orlando 0
76ers 4 Vs. Nets 1
Boston 4 Vs. Pacers 2
Warrios 4 Vs. Clippers 1
Nuggets 4 vs. Spurs 2
Rockets 4 Vs. Jazz 1
Blazers 2 Vs. Oklahoma 4

I think there will be doubt with your pick kabayan hehehe.
The OP stated "(C) Which team will be the Champion for NBA 2019 Regular Season? " not NBA Finals in Post Season or Playoffs.
Warriors is 52 and 24, while Bucks is 57 and 20. The Raptors are even ahead of them with 54 and 23. And the playoffs is fast approaching, with less than 10 games left in the regular season.
Just sharing my thoughts kabayan, good luck sa predictions hehe.

..pasali po ako ha,,excited ako magpredict,,pero pagaralan ko po muna kung sinu sinu yung mga team na idetermine ko for final playoffs..tapos post ko po ulit feedback ko if nakapili na ako..tama nga po ung comment nung iba na sana mag-give ka pa po ng deadline ng submission ng bawat entries para hindi magulo at nakakalito..hoping for the future success of this game,,sana marami pa po magdonate..yung mga NBA fan jan,,baka naman,,hikayatin ko po kayong sumali sa competition na to at the same time,,share some of your blessings po para mas malaki at mas maganda ang magiging reward ng mananalo..

Will be change to , Which team will win the NBA finals?

---

This is to avoid confusion, it's easier to understand now.

Thank you for updating the OP. Its more clearer now. I really thought you meant about (C) is the team who will sit on the top seed after the regular season.
Just a few more clarification. The deadline of filling out the predictions will be on April 12? Because ive heard the NBA playoffs will begin on the 13th.



Well, yeah kabayan, my bad! Hahaha. The OP already changed the (C) description to avoid confusions.  Ok lng yan kahit hindi ka officially kasali sa contest due to lack of merit atleast man lang madami mag pparticipate para masaya.

Look kabayan. It was written in here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5126412.msg50406667#msg50406667. It is without a doubt.  ;D Anyway di naman ako kasali e hahahha wala akong sapat na merit.

Mirakal, I think the submission for the competition should be before magsimula yung NBA finals so that we can get the playoff tree na masusunod sa NBA playoffs. Mahirap kasi mag vote hanggat di pa kumpleto yung playoff tree eh. Especially dun sa last, yung 8 games.

Would to join to your competition, can i??  :'( :'(

I suggest you to read the rules of the game again, as the OP says, you can edit your post as long as first game has not started yet.
This is a free competition so there is no risk on your part, give your prediction and wait then hope that you will win.

 ⭐️⭐️ (A) Who will be the Most Valuable Player (MVP) for 2019 Regular Season? - Giannis Antetokounmpo
 ⭐️⭐️ (B) Who will be the Rookie Of The Year? - Luka Doncic
 ⭐️⭐️ (C) Which team will win the NBA finals? - Milwaukee Bucks
 ⭐️⭐️ (D) FINAL 4 in the playoffs. - Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets
 ⭐️⭐️ (E)
Bucks vs Heat - MIL 4 - 1 MIA
Raptors vs Nets - TOR 4 - 2 BKN
76ERS vs Pistons - PHI 3 - 4 DET
Celtics vs Pacers - BOS 4 - 3 IND

Warriors vs Thunder - GS 4 - 2 OKC
Nuggets vs Spurs - DEN 4 - 2 SA
Trailblazers vs Clippers - POR 3 - 4 LAC
Rockets vs Jazz - HOU 4 - 2 UTH

Today I am going to make another update.
I noticed that there are members who are interested in participating the contest but they are not qualified, therefore I am removing the merit requirement. Everyone can join, except newbie and jr members.

Suggestion lang, ok lang kung ayaw. Maganda siguro kung magkaroon tayo ng spreadsheet para mas madali makita yung mga entries bago mag start ang playoffs :)

Don't worry, I will update in the OP the summary of the participants prediction with their names on it. 

I actually thought about spreadsheet but then since we are allowed to edit picks, it might make the spreadsheet messy.
Also, we cannot avoid those who just fill up the form even though they are not included in the competition.

Thank you mirakal. I don't really care sa price, I just want to test my ability in guessing hehe. But still thanks for considering us that does not have the merit count to join.  ;D

I just realize with the way it's going so far that I won't be able to have more participants if there is a merit requirements.
There are a lot of members here who have merits, but some of them has no interest with the NBA playoffs.

So,,,, we cannot force them.

..nakapagdecide na po ako sa aking predictions on NBA winners and these are the result..

NOTE: Ginamit ko na nalang po yung template ng picture galing sa thread na to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1220979.msg50553797#msg50553797??

First, wag nyo pong ibase yung picture sir. Dating playoff tree po yan. Just put your prediction after ilabas yung official playoff tree ng NBA.

I don't think it would be James Harden though because he has a big usage rate. So no. Opinion ko lang haha.

..Okay lang namn..its just your opinion..anyway,,it is just my prediction..anyone is freely to predict what and who will going to win..if prefer mo na wag muna ilatag ang predictions mo,,it's your choice..

You should edit your pick, cavaliers is already out, they are the weakest team in the East.
As much as possible, put at least 8 predictions to earn more points, you can just wait until this season is over to see the final match up.

Post you predictions now, playoff is coming already.

I'd love to join the competition but, I'm not from the Philippines, neither do I speak the language, Is it okay to join still ?

As of me, yes you are welcome anyone can join but let the OP decide on this because of he/she the Game Master(GM) on this contest.
Anyway, welcome to our local board. Feel free to drop your entry here when OP has decided if you are allowed to join. :D

As per criteria upon joining you are qualified and there was no indication that a member from other country are not allow to join, but it is better if you will wait for the signal of OP as respect to him upon joining.

I guess OP will let him join anyway, since there were only few entries submitted in this thread. And also, youre right, there were no rules that prohibits participants from outside the Philippines, so I guess @Harkorede you should make a lists of your picks already, as the submission of entry is fast approaching.

We Filipinos are known hospitable and friendly people, so we would like to welcome you here.
You can take part of the competition, make sure you post before the deadline so you prediction will be counted.

Thanks for your hospitality and privilege.

Summary of predictions for this contest from the total 15 participants.  (this will be updated once Sheenshane update his post)

Note :

I received a reply from Sheenshane that he is still on travel now, he will update his prediction once he gets home.
Those who have red in the sheet, are those who give prediction using the wrong match up, you can correct that now but once I locked this thread
corrections thru email will no longer accepted.

Oasisman sent me a message to update his prediction.

https://imgbbb.com/images/2019/04/14/osarman.png


The summary above is already updated. https://archive.is/jJhAw

Walang hiya di ko ineexpect yung mangyayari sa game 1 ngayon ng Nets at 76ers ganun din sa Raptors vs Magic. Parehong talo yung higher seed ng East. Di man lang makalamang yung 76ers sa Nets. Well di daw ganun ka healthy si Joel Embiid kaya natalo tsaka yung playing time nya 25 mns lang. Sa Raptors at Magic naman close game talagang di ko inaasaan na matatalo Raptors dito. Grabe.

Yung prediction talo na agad.

You choose 4-0 for the sixers and the raptors to win, you already loss on your prediction.
Don't worry it's a long competition but most likely after the round one we will have an idea who would win.

Injured pa ba si Joel Embiid? Maayos naman din laro nya, yung efficiency nya is napakataas naman 24 mins 22 and 15. Grabe 41 mins nilaro ni Tobias tapos yung performance nya di ganun kaayos. Pareha na tayong bagsak dyan haha. 4-0 din ako e.

Joel Embiid performed well, but Harris and Redick did not play well.
It's just one game, they will certainly try harder in game 2, and if you are gambling, you can put your money to sixers in game 2.

Hi guys, what a lovely day for the sixers fans here, my prediction which is 4-1 is still alive since they bounce back hard today.
They just need to win 3 straight times which is EASY!  ;D

I'm also hoping for sixers to at least win the series and also compete in the finals. Philadelphia and Golden State would be a good match up. A stacked team vs a stacked team.

Shit, Clippers have won in Golden State. There goes the 4-0 prediction many of us had.

You are not alone, I also have my prediction 4-0.
Bad day for us, maybe I am not meant to win the price, I should give this to others.  ;D

I am not a Sixer's  fan but i predicted this series would go 4-1 kasi sa tingin ko hindi naman gaano kalakas yong Nets pero sa iniinda ngayon ni Embid baka aabot ito ng 4-3 and it could go either way.

Talo ako sa aking Warriors vs Clippers prediction na 4-0  :(.

I also have the 4-0 prediction regarding this series.
Grabe naman yun, natalo pa yung 30 point lead ng GS. Nainjure din kase si Cousins eh.

Durant was also fouled out, it's not just the day for the warriors, things like that happen in the NBA as both teams are good offensively.

GSW had a 31 points lead before they've lost to LAC just like the 3-1 lead that they blew in the 2016 NBA Championship, the combo number of 3 and 1 is their kryptonite, LOL  ;D

Meanwhile, DeMarcus Cousins is out to the remainder of playoffs because of his quad injury, the odds for Milwaukee are getting good though(If they would go to the NBA finals).

 

The warriors, won't go to the finals this season, it will be the Rockets.  :P

Hahaha I see what u did there :p

Potek talo na ako sa Phi vs. Brooklyn.
Isang talo pa GSW, talo nanaman sa isang 10 point category.

I have a feeling Carrelmae10 will win, his prediction is 1-4 clippers.
Cousins is officially out, clipper will win the next 3 games to end the series. LOL

Let's see  ;). This will be an interesting showdown again. It's like we're seeing a GS that is just like last year. But looking at rockets, it is a different story. Last playoffs, Paul was injured during the 6th or 7th game? But right now, he is back and we have more improved Harden. Let's see, Rockets might have many wins in this series or even take it.

If thats the case, then lets end this contest and give him the reward.
1-4 in favor of the Clips, thats the baddest and the meanest prediction ever. Actually thats a 100 points prediction. Lol

With that series score in favor of the Clippers, I thin that gives a good odds for the bettors.
I don't know how much is the betting odds for that line, but I'm sure it's over x10 and that gives a good return for your bet.

I'm not too sure.
He may have predicted the Clippers to win the series but look who he chose to win the Finals. Hummm...

Baka Warriors talaga siya sapagkat sa final four Warriors naman ang nilagay niya.

off topic a bit
@mirakal, saan magandang mag bet sa mga online bookies brader para NBA? Gumawa ako ng account sa Sportsbet kaso hindi maganda ang nababasa ko sa kanilang thread ngayon. 

Sportsbet is good, I have not face any issue with the site, the downside of the site is the betting odds which is lower compared to other sites.
Their strength is they have instant withdrawal (no fee), and your deposit will reflect right way even unconfirmed.

I can also recommend nitrogensports, it's one of the popular sportsbook, they have better reputation compared to sportsbet I guess, but I can play with both.

Lol, that's a joke right ? Just wait and see what the GSW performance will be in the next 3 games, It's still going to be a 4 - 1 win for the Warriors and they could still end up as the winners of the championship.

That was a joke of course. Warriors will bounce back today, without cousins I still believe they can win, in fact I bet on them today, I got -8.5 for them.

Bro san makikita yung updated spreadsheet ng points or yung list of players entries ng Prediction competition na to. Di ko kasi makita sa OP?

Wala atang spreadsheet, screenshot lang ginawa ni OP, parang picture lang kung baga.

ito - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5126412.msg50584795#msg50584795

Maganda sana kung ipapublic ni OP to as google spreadsheet hindi yung ganito lang. Or kahit hindi na basta nasa OP yung details tungkol sa mga entries. Suggestion lang nman.

Anyway. Mukhang wala na akong tyansa manalo dito. Puro mali mga prediction ko. Hahaha

The picture already displayed the summary of participants selection and I think it's already transparent.
I also achived the thread just in case some will edit and will contest their prediction, but if you like to see a spreadsheet, I would like to ask a help from you, can you do it for us?  :)

Boston Celtics is ending their series with 4 - 0 against the Indiana Pacers and nobody went for that pick, what competition this will turn out to be.

Nobody expected this since Pacers are also a tough team, the expectation is on the GSW and the Bucks to sweep their opponent.

Bucks already swept the pistons, and may mga naka 10 points na sa Bucks vs Detroit 4-0 na bracket.
Cnu kaya ang ma swerteng mananalo hehe.

Sorry if I missed it but are we gonna bet also on the next rounds ?
I gotta say that the Bucks / Pistons series looks really promising. I wonder which team you guys would pick as the winner.
Also I'm surprised (and disappointed) by OKC, I expected Westbrook to carry them far in those playoffs and now they're on the verge of being eliminated.

EDIT : I just read on another thread that there was an earthquake in the Philippines. I hope everyone is ok.

Pistons already lost against Bucks bro. Too bad, I thought Pistons will win atleast 1 or a couple, but a sweep is a worst way to lose the series.

Yeah there was an earthquake yesterday. Lucky im the area where it was slightly affected.

What a great game for the OKC vs POR today, game ended up by Lillard buzzer beater shot.

I checked the predictions, none of the participants have predicted the correct series score.

Ako nga predicted ko Thunder mag champion this season. Pero very close game yun. Wala e nag bakaw si Westbrook tato tuloy. May post pa si Kyle Kuzma: Karma daw. Panigurado number 1 play na naman yung tira ni damian lillard. parang nang yari na rin to dati na gawa nya. Tira sa malaya then boom pasok sa semifinals.

Haha my bad, I just realized I wrote Pistons when I meant Celtics. And there I was wondering what you were talking about when you said they already lost.

There was a video flash back after the game, he did last 5 years gain IIRC against the Rockets.
Good first round performance by the Blazers but I will not back them in round whichever team they will face.

Good luck on the spurs/ Nuggets game 7 guys, I'm the only one who is in favor of spurs to win in 7, most of you who predicted a game 7 are with the Nuggets.

Rooting for Spurs also on this one. Experience at Coach Popovich lang may edge nah. Pero depende pa din sa players, kahit maganda laro ni Jokic talo pa din sila. Maganda din laro bukas GSW at LAC  game 6, home court ng LAC sana manalo LAC para exciting ang Game 7.

Well, let's see, I would be happy with that because I have spurs to win 4-3 in the series.
The clippers game though, most of us here already lose as most prediction were 4-1 and 4-0, if clippers will win tomorrow, it could give good win for the bettors.

Nahihirapan ang GSW sa LAC, paano pag nanalo ang LAC bukas. May Game 7 sila, malaki chance manalo ang GSW sa homecourt nila, pero pagkatapos papahirapan sila ng Rockets. Makaabot pa kaya si sa West Conf Finals? kung mkaabot man di ata sila mananalo.
Dahil jan eto ang predicitons ko, kahit di na ako aabot sa 8 series predictions.

(A) MVP - Giannis Antetokounmpo
(B) ROTY - Co-winner - Luka Doncic and Trae Young
(C) NBA Finals Champion Team - Bucks
(D) Final 4 in the Playoffs - Rockets, Spurs, Raptors, Bucks

I'm not a Bucks fan.

I will give you a separate price if all your prediction is correct, kidding...
You should have come early so you could join the competition and it's actually sponsored by me and I have some support from one of the members here.

Anyway, good luck, your chance to win is just to bet on sportsbook.

Sayang, Antayin ko nalang baka meron pa predictions para sa Finals MVP, 6th Man of the year award at defensive player of the year.

Quoted for reference.


Alright guys, ilang puntos nakuha nyu sa Playoffs round 1 predictions?
Ako, I got 30 points
Rockets vs. Utah 4-1
Nuggets vs. Spurs 4-3
Raptors vs Magic 4-1

Cant wait for the MVP and ROTY award.

I'm not counting my totals yet because I know my score is not that good.
Looks like you have a good score and you have a shot to win the competition, should I say congratulations in advance?  ;D

@mirakal, no not really. Although I may have a shot to win this competition, but Ive seen a couple or more participants with the same score as me and has different predictions in the MVP, ROTY, and Final 4 category. We can only identify who will likely to win after the round 2 I guess.

Let's see as the playoffs goes on, this is a fun game so it's alright if I will not win, prize already secured by the way and will send it to the winners after the competition concluded.

@Mirakal.

di man ako nakasali sa competition na ito, nais ko lang magtanong, meron bang update sa spreadsheet kung saan makikita kung sino ang lamang sa puntos, or mag uupdate na lang once malapit ng matapos ang playoffs?

So Boston won game 1 against Milwaukee. I knew the Celtics would be a tough team to beat.
They're back to that very tactical team that did so well in the playoffs last year.
I predicted they'd beat the Bucks and face Toronto in the Conference finals so it's all good for me.

There is no spreadsheet but I attached a summary of predictions, you can see it in photo, back read a bit.

---

Not too easy, it's just game 1 so I would not make a conclusion yet.

Oh I'm not. Like I said in one my previous posts, this series is gonna be very interesting to watch, That's why I asked everybody's prediction on that one.
I think the Celtics are a more experienced team and will go through but if the Bucks win, it won't be a huge surprise either.
Are you going with the Bucks Mirakal ?

Yeah, I'm with the Bucks in this series, they are part of my final 4.
Also, I made a bet with friends and I have bucks, betting outside gives good value especially if your friends has no idea with online betting.
I'm getting 100% return betting with my friends and I can actually hedge it now online if I choose too, but we are gamblers, no excitement if I will hedge it.

Update for this competition, congratulations to those who are in the top.
Please double check if the tally is correct. Don't hesitate to complain, ;D

https://imgbbb.com/images/2019/04/30/nba2.png

Haha, congrats to them who got a high score than me (40 points). Kulilat ata yung napili ko na team hindi ko kasi kabisado ang NBA players.
@mirakal may chance paba tayong naka 10 points lang na tumaas yung points?

I don't expect to win anymore, those who have a good score right now might win the competition.

Me neither lol
Im behind 10 points with the current point leader, and we have almost the same prediction, only differs in a 5 point category. So, my chance to win is Zero.
Sad hahaha

That's alright, at least you have better record than us who only got 10 points, others even go zero.
This is the game, we only have one winner, so we are already considered losers. lol

---

My hope now is betting per game in my favorite sportsbook, I'm hoping to have a profitable NBA playoffs.

Congrats sa nanalo, mukhang hindi na makakahabol yong may 30 points.

Baka pwede ka mag-start ng thread brader showing what team you bet on just like on the attached link below on our local board kung pwede. Tingin ko kasi very knowledgeable ka kasi sa NBA  :). We can emulate you or we can add some inputs kung kinakailangan. Hindi naman ito gambling promotion bagkos ay katuwaan lang sa mga taong mahilig sa basketball, alam mo naman tayong mga Pilipino  ;).

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091185.0

Di ko na inaasahan na mananalo ako dito kung makikita naman natin sa chart kulelat ako, talagang nag iiba ang mga performance ng mga team kapag playoffs na, yung di mo inaasahan sa bawat team yun pa nagpapakita ng magandang laban. Goodluck sa mga nasa itaas maganda gandang laban yan para sa inyo.

I'm not really good in NBA gambling though I gamble.
You can tell based on my score in this competition, thanks for the idea but can you just please create a thread for that, for me.. ;D

Up natin para makita.

hyunee (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1013131), you are leading in the competition, I hope that you will be active when the competition will be concluded so you will enjoy the price. You are the possible winner here, but we need to finish the NBA finals to tally the total score.

He is last active on  April 26, 2019,

Oh boy, did I get that one wrong lol.

Let say na siya na yung panalo,what if di sya makapag online pano ang mangyayare sa premyo nya may expiration ba ito kapag di nya nakuha within particular time?

Let's give him a deadline, I will decide after the competition, if after the deadline he still do not claim the reward, I will give the reward to the highest score, if there is a tie, they will have to split the full reward.

With the Trail Blazer's win in game 7 over Denver, we can now say that no one has predicted the Final Four.
Damn we suck at this.

Hehe, maraming pumalya sa isa. Kung sa East malamang marami nakahula sa Bucks at Raptors, sa West naman marami na nagsabi ng Warriors.

---

Sa tingin ko Buck at Warriors ang maglalaban sa finals. Ewan na lang kung may mangyayari nanaman, ang bola ay bilog ika nga.

Bilog ang bola at hindi natin alam, mahaba haba pa ang series sa dalawang conferece at hindi natin masasabi kung merong mga injury lalo na sa mga core players ng mga team.
Sa tingin ko ito gusto ng karamihan na magharap, syempre bilang fan ng Bucks [hindi lang ni Giannis hehe] alam naman natin na isa ito sa magiging big break niya[GA].

Gusto ko rin bucks ang makatapat ng warriors dahil malaki ang chance nilang manalo.
Sana nga mapalitan na ang warriors at hindi na sila mag champion this year, kahit medyo mahirap pero maganda ang performance ng bucks in their last series. First round 4-0, 2nd round 4-1, baka dito 4-2 naman. Magaling din si Leonard pero ang temmates niya hindi masyado.

Katulad ng nangyari sa legacy ni Lebron, wala siya sa playoffs hindi rin natin masasabi kung merong kakaibang mangyari at matalo ng Blazers ang Warriors. Alam natin na underdog dito ang Blazers at ang crowd pabor lagi sa Warriors. Kung ano man kalalabasan ng playoffs na ito, enjoyin nalang natin kasi isa na ito sa pinaka exciting part ng liga taon taon yung sa bandang huli na. Tingin ko naman hindi ganun magiging ka-easy lang sa Warriors ito, papahirapan din sila ng Blazers.

I see, nice decision bro, instead na mag antay ka sa kanya since di naman sya nakakapag online let the other benefit sa price, pero still di pa din naman natin masasabi yung magiging standing e madami pa din kasing pwedeng mang yare.

Malalaman natin pagkatapos, pero sa standing ngayon, mukhang panalo na talaga ang nasa top one dahil halos pareho lang sila ng sagot sa prediction na natira.

Ayun lang kahit ano na maging resulta di na mauungusan yung nasa unahan ang talo na lang niya kapag di nya nakuha premyo nya, magkano din yun kung sakali tunataas pa naman ang presyo ngayon kaya sayang kapag di nakuha.

Baka pagkatapos nitong competition natin, malay nating mag $10K na si bitcoin.
So yung total na BTC0,013 ay magiging higit na php 6,000 na.

Swerte di ba, dahil libre naman ito.

malaki laki na din yan kasi ginawa tong thread na to pagkakaalam ko nasa around 3 to 4k dollar pa ang presyo ng bitcoin kaya kung lalaki pa ang presyo talagang mas gaganda pa yung value na pwedeng makuha.

I'm alright with that, I have already prepared the BTC for this competition, so I will not be affected regardless if it will increase again.
Good for the winners, more pump gives better value.

Haha oo gusto ko din laro ni Leonard pero siya lang talaga halos nagbuhat ng Raptors (Although  medyo ganun din naman sa Bucks). Ang serye sa East ay naka-depende kung sino ang may mas maasahan na role at bench players. Sa tingin ko Bucks yun.

1-0 na, lamang na bucks sa series nila. Congrats sa mga nanalo at congrats din sa akin dahil nakataya ako bucks -6.5, buti nalang nag 10-0 run sila.

---

Gumawa si Leonard sa game 1 pero maganda ang nilaro ng bucks kaya naka habol sila, si Lopez ang game changer sa game 1.

talagang pag playoffs na at finals madami na talagang nagtutulungan sa isang team, tulad kaninang laro di naman nakakalamang ang bucks nung 4th quarter lang sila nakalamang simulang nung first quarter, si lowry kanina kahit papano maganda din ang tinulong pero di mas nanaig yung bucks dahil siguro home court advantage na din sa ganong dikitang laro.

May nanalo na pala dito. Congrats, grabe 20 points lang nakuha ko. Yung sa may pangalawa may 5 points pa sa kanyang pwedeng icredit kase nakuha nya yung 4 teams na makakapasok sa semis. Pero, parehas sila ng 1 ng vote dun sa may MVP, rookie and sa may kung sino yung mananalo sa finals.

Uy ako pala naglelead sa competition. Thank you so much Mirakal sa competition na to. Pero still, I will not enjoy a pre celebration regarding this since di pa din naman natin alam yung mangyayare sa susunod. Madami pa namang criteria na ipagbabase-san eh. Anyways, goodluck all!

Mabuti at ang paramdam ka, bro or sis?
Ikaw ang leading at mukhang ikaw rin ang mananalo, maga June mo pa siguro makukuha ang winning more dahil June pag magtatapos ang NBA.
Swerte mo, good luck sayo, sa may next competition pa dito para makasali naman.

Pengeng balato, joke.. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oo nga e, ngayon na lang ule ako naging active sa forum naging busy din sa work e. Oo, sa June pa yung announcements ng MVP, Rookie of the Year eh. Pero ayos lang yan, I can wait naman, thank you talaga kay sir mirakal para dito. Sakto pang moni na to sa June hahaha. ;D

Atleast nagkaroon ka ng idea na ikaw yung potential winner at alam mo na dapat mong iclaim yung prize mo kasi kung hindi iba ang makikinabang hehe, magcocongrats na ako sayo bro wag mong kalimutan balikan yung prize mo baka magexpire although matagal pa naman bago matapos ang finals.

Swerte naman ng mga nakasali dito. Dati maliit lang ang 0.013 BTC nung nag start itong competition. Ngayon medyo malaki na halaga ng Bitcoin. Congrats sa mananalo.

Hindi naman ako nasali sa mga ganitong laro. Pero nakakasigurado ako na marami ang sa tingin nila ang mananalong team sa taong ito ay Golden  State at malaki ang possibility na maganap ito.

Sisiguhin ko sa susunod at aabangan ko talaga ang susunod na palaro ulit. Sana kahit aa ending game naman sa susunod kahit maliit lang tama basta libre ang entry.

Depende pa rin yan. Nakita mo na ba yung sinabi ni Kevin Durant na perfect na yung health nya na ayos na siya? Para na ring binenta nya yung GS nun e. Madaming free competition dito sa local antabay nga rin ako para sa susunod.

Good if it's free, sana we have other members who will think of sponsoring another free competition.

Meron at meron mag sponsor nyan lalo na ngayon na active ang atin local board sayang diko naabutin itong Nba Prediction games pero tulad nga ng sabi nila mauulit at mauulit ito. Good luck sa mananalo maganda ang laban ng GSW at Raptors mukhang magwawagi ang Raptors nito kung hindi makakabalik si KD sa mga susunod na laban.

Nakakatuwa namang isipin na parami ng parami ang palaro dito sa Local thread natin at ang kinagandahan pa dito ay libre at marami ang sumusuporta at marami ang sumasali.

Alam naman natin ang mga Pinoy ay mahilig sa pagbabasketball na talaga namang hindi nakakapagtaka pagdating sa basketball present sila maging dito.

Advanced congratulations sa magwawagi at sana maulit pa ito para sa mga hindi nakaabot kagaya ko.

Again, we all did a great a job at predicting the winner of the competition. Who had the Raptors winning ?  :P
I know, I know, it's not over yet but...

Waiting for the Regular season MVP then I will make the final computation to determine the winner.

Great timing because right now bitcoin is mooning again, hopefully by the time I release the funds, bitcoin will be trading at $10,000.

We'll know on June 24.

Finalists for the MVP are Paul George, Giannis and James Harden
For the Rookie of the Year it's between Doncic, Trae Young and Deandre Dayton.

Thanks for sharing the information, honestly I don't research when is the announcement, I'm just waiting for it to be announce.
And also, thanks for bringing up I also have to wait for the ROY winner.

By the way, I'm running again another competition, if you are familiar with PBA, please give some suggestion  here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5155082.0).

I'm afraid I wouldn't be of much help here, I don't know much about your basketball championship sorry.

I just checked the rosters, I don't think I recognize any name there :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_PBA_team_rosters

That's alright, seems like no one is interested as I haven't seen a reply yet. But I'll still push it anyway, maybe they just agree with the rules silently.  ;D

Rookie of the year and NBA Regular season has been announce already, so I will begin to tally the total score.

Rokie of the year is Luka Doncic

MVP - Giannis Antetokounmpo
