Highest in terms of ppg or total points?

reply

Good question.

Total points

reply

Ok so I want a series that will go long.

reply

Or a guy who's gonna go absolutely ballistic for four games. Other than Mitchell, I'm not sure who that would be this year.

reply

I suppose Curry could score 50 a game in the Rockets sweep.

reply

I think the Warrior vs Rocket series is going 6 or 7.

reply

Rockets in 4.

I can't tell if you're serious or just trying to troll me.

I didn't think about that.

Trae Young might not be a bad pick for this. I could see him scorching the Cavs backcourt.

reply

I will stick with Jokic steady 25-30 for 6 or 7 games rather than trying to project who might have a couple monster games. I think Giannis will be a good pick too. That could be a long high scoring series.

reply

There are a bunch of guys I’m thinking about. These are interesting matchups.

Clippers Curry

Can I change my mind on the high scorer to Giannis? If there's no changing once you announce your pick, that's fine too. Just thought the Rockets defense might lock up Curry and limit his scoring, and the lack of defense from the Pacers could work in Giannis' favor in terms of scoring a lot of buckets.

reply

Fine with me. If someone else wants to take you to Kangaroo Court over it, they’re free to do so.

Thanks!

What about the bracketology games. How to join there? Do I need to do something on my part?

It's too late to modify those brackets, unfortunately.
