1st Round Results

Welcome to the Conference Semi-Finals, a.k.a. the Second Round. After some exciting games we now have the results of my predictions made before the First Round. My guesses are on the left, while the act results are on the right. I gave myself 2 points for every correct prediction (exact number of games, team) and 1 point if I got the correct team. The total score is out of 16.

CLE vs. CHI: Cavs in 5 games. -Cavs in 5 games. -CORRECT! (2pts)
ORL vs. CHA: Magic in 4 games. -Magic in 4 games. -CORRECT! (2pts)
ATL vs. MIL: Hawks in 4 games. -Hawks in 7 games - WRONG! (1pt)
BOS vs. MIA: Celtics in 6 games. -Celtics in 5 games. -WRONG! (1pt)

LAL vs. OKC: Lakers in 6 games. -Lakers in 6 games. -CORRECT! (2pts)
DAL vs. SAS: Mavs in 7 games. -Spurs in 6 games. -WRONG! (0pts)
PHX vs. POR: Suns in 6 games. -Suns in 6 games. -CORRECT! (2pts)
DEN vs. UTA: Nuggets in 7 games. -Jazz in 6 games. -WRONG! (0pts)

Completely Correct Predictions: 4/8
Completely Wrong Predictions: 2/8
Eastern Conference Score: 6/8
Western Conference Score: 4/8
Total Score: 10/16

This year my predictions were a little weak, but not bad. I only got 4 series correct completely, and I was really wrong about the DAL vs. SAS series and DEN vs. UTA series. In both matchups, the underdog won in 6 games. I'm pretty proud of my prediction of Cleveland over Chicago in 5 games and not 4, like what most people thought. I just had a feeling that the Bulls wouldn't allow themselves to be swept and would steal one at home. What did you guys score using my method?
