New Game - SHH NBA Pick 'em 2011 (barely...) - 2012 (mostly...) Season

[Hound55]

Alright, just for some daily fun...

Each day we'll see if we can pick the winners for the games of that next day and the individual leaders for those days. Slap your predictions down in a post, 1 point per each correct game predicted and 2 for every individual stat leader picked.

Any posts created or edited AFTER the start of the first game will not be considered.

No sign-ups, anyone who wants to jump in is eligible and will have their points tallied - you don't have to keep up daily, but understand that you're hurting your own chances to win if you're dropping days all the time.

Tomorrow's games:

Golden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns
Washington Wizards at Boston Celtics
Indiana at New Jersey Nets
Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks
Atlanta Hawks at Miami Heat
Orlando Magic at Detroit Pistons
San Antonio Spurs at Minnesota Timberwolves
Oklahoma City Thunder at Dallas Mavericks
Milwaukee Bucks at Denver Nuggets
New Orleans Hornets at Utah Jazz

Overall Leaderboard
Hound55 - 105
WalkingDeadMike - 87

Trying to figure out which games you're ineligible for, CC.

I know for a fact that the GSW/PHX game had well and truly got under way before your post, I'm just figuring out the times now.

EDIT: Just too late for the first 6 games. It's still a long season though.

Silver Knight would have loved this game..he'd get to pick his team(s) every night.

i thought all games were after 8 EST so i figured i'd give it a shot. i honestly had no idea any games had started or were underway but do what you gotta do. i dont know how you're gonna keep up with all these all season

 

[Hound55]

There'll ba about three days that I know of that I won't be able to and I'll have to enlist help, other than that... I've done this with a bunch of other guys on another site.

Technically, I'm the only one who got in on time for the GSW/PHX game, but the other guys who just missed the start picked it wrong as well (just as I did).

Ah well... now people know the thread's here it'll probably go more smoothly.

You want to have a go at the individual daily stats leaders? It's going to hit you pretty hard not getting those extra opportunities.

Which Gasol? You can't just play it down the middle and then cash in on either brother. Get a little touch of Skype quiz success and then you've got to go cheat to cling to any win you can... well that Jessica Biel stuff won't fly here...

Oh? So if I don't pick anybody, I wont win a totally imaginary award at the end of the season?

You underestimate my laziness if you think I'm creating a totally imaginary award at the end of the season...
