Get Your Tips In, Earn Points, Your Virtual Player Reaps The Benefits

Get your tips in guys for each playoff series and earn points that you will be able to use on your virtual player in this Association! Please participate even if your player has not appeared in this Association because it will be worthwhile. All rewards will be announced at the completion of the Postseason.

How This Works?

The playoff matchups will be posted in a series-by-series playoff preview. You will then be given some time to post your predicted outcome of each series. Don’t forget to choose the winner and amount of games won by each team.

Scores will be accumulated and posted prior to the commencement of the next round.

What Implications Does It Have For You?

All the points accumulated, no matter if you finish first or last, will be able to be used on your virtual player. How that will happen will be explained at the completion of the postseason.

And if you do not have a virtual player part of this association, don’t forget that there are still spots available for additional rookies in future Draft Classes!

Scoring System

General Scoring

If you pick the winner of the series - +10 Point
If the winner has a worse record than their opponent - +5 Points
If you correctly pick the amount of games won by each team - +5 Points

If this happens, you will receive 10 points for each correct guess but you lose 5 points for every incorrect guess. Therefore, you can potentially earn 40 points but can also lose 20.

Other

If you come second in the competition - +25 Points
If you come third in the competition - +10 Points

The story so far

Kevin Durant Gives Strong Indication Of Staying

May 23, 2011

SEATTLE (AP) – Seattle Stealth All-Star and NBA Leading Scorer Kevin Durant has given his strongest indication yet of his intention to sign a new contract with the Seattle Stealth.

In a recent interview with Woody Hannes of ESPN.com, Durant says, “I want to stay with Seattle because they drafted me and gave me a chance to lead my own team. I want to return that good faith they had in me by staying.”

Durant also stated that if a deal was to be done, he would request a shorter deal than most players would sign for, “I’m only looking for a three year deal.” The former Texas Longhorn added, “I can’t leave my team baby.”

Hannes wrote a recent article on Durant, which was considered scathing and Durant had cried out in the media about it being malicious and unfair. The two decided to get together and clear the air. Other topics that were discussed was the direction of the Stealth, Durant’s antics during the playoffs, and Jason Kidd’s impending retirement from professional basketball.

I think Durant will stay, the Stealth is all about Durant that's his team baby!
