5 points for each Western Conference playoff team guessed right - 40 total available points
10 points for each team in the second round of the playoffs - 80 total available points
15 points for each team in the conference finals - 60 total available points

15 points for the Defensive Player of the Year Award Winner - 15 total available points
15 points for the Sixth Man of the Year Award Winner - 15 total available points
15 points for the Most Improved Player Award Winner - 15 total available points
5 points for each player named to the All-Rookie Team - 25 total available points
10 points for each player named to the All-NBA First Team - 50 total available points

I learned from last season not to send my list in until the day before deadline.

too many things could change this week and next.

This is true, Kobe Bryant might slip and break his neck in the shower and be out for the season. And the lakers would miss the playoffs.

Sub .... I would have thought 1st tie breaker would have been Correct Pick for NBA Champion, and sorta work your way downwards

I take it there isn't an MVP category under the presumption that it's LeBron until further notice?

I wish the MVP was actually the Most Valuable Player and not the Most Valuable Team

D-Wade 09/10 MVP!!!!

When you say first raptor to be injured do you mean before the reg season starts or after...because if its before, than Bosh is technically injured right now

I would think it would be the first player to miss a regular season game due to injury.
