Rules:

-Winner will be whoever ends with the highest score, after someone hits 200 points. Winner will be presented a trophy, if available.
-Trophies are never guaranteed. We depend on Kori's good will here.
-All entries will be accepted if properly submitted. Everyone is invited to play.
-No infighting, no excessive trolling. Game threads are holy ground in SpursTalk (seen "Highlander"? Well, like churches and cemetaries there)
-Editing after the 1st game started is strictly prohibited. Period. No excuses, no exceptions.
-You will copy and paste my game threads, and bold your answers. Exceptions will be made when you can't do so (happens, like when you you can't copy and paste or something), but it is easier for me to score. At least write/bold your options to make it easier for me. You can't simply say "I'll pick whatever xxs picked".
-You can't submit picks for someone else.
-NBA TV Companion stats will be used in the scoring always.

Some changes from last rounds:

-A minimum of 5 entries per gamethread will be required for the game to count on the Overall Rankings. This used to be 10 entries.
-If a question asks, for example, "Who will be the third scorer for the Spurs tonight" and your guess was right, but tied with another player, you will get the points. In past rounds, ties gave no points whatsoever. There is an exception to this rule, when I present the question in a multiple choice form.
-If you have played during the present round, you get 2 "Game Save". What is this? Well, imagine you somehow missed a game thread, thus you missed the points. Disaster! You were 1st in the rankings, and now you are 4th. Fear not! You can use a "Game Save"! Once you've alerted me of this (it won't be automatic). A "Game Save" will give you the same amount of points than whoever finished in last place that day. A "Game Save" can be used whenever you want. Imagine you miss two days, you can pick which day you want the "Game Save" to be used.

So do we get to game save once, or do we have two game-save opportunities?

I won't reconsider this.

Damn, got two bonuses wrong.

[WeNeedLength]

I'm glad every one was with me on thinking NYK would win. :lol

Now Kobe needs to engage his chucking mode like he always does for me to have a chance at the big bonus. With Gasol playing like a bitch and Portland making a huge comeback, I see it possible. :lol

[jeebus]

You shoulda known NYK woulda lost due to melo returning and Lin going up against a good PG for once

[WeNeedLength]

Well no one knew apparently. :lol

And why didn't you post any picks??

[jeebus]

I'm taking this round off

[Brazil]

I bet on Portland :lol

oh and fuck you TP !

[WeNeedLength]

I'm taking this round off

You're lucky that new Game Save rule is in effect. Unless someone drops like a 3 point score or something lol

[jeebus]

No, I meant I'm taking this whole round off lol. If I get bored in a few days, I might start playing again. Dunno yet.

[WeNeedLength]

Ooh. Ok. Less competition for me. :tu

[VBM]

Finally hit all the bonuses...let's see if Kobe can limit himself to 2 more shots

[Spur_Fanatic]

1st Q killed POR.

Doubt they'll comeback.

[Spur_Fanatic]

Kobe with 24 FGA...

One more, pls....

[Robz4000]

C'mon Kobe

[Spur_Fanatic]

Stop shooting kobe!

[Robz4000]

There you go, Kobe, call it a game.

[Spur_Fanatic]

Come on, excuse of a coach, get Kobe off the court!

[Spur_Fanatic]

17 point diff, 90 secs to go, and if Kobe still stays, he is one motherfucker stat padder.

lol Kobe. Not enough chucking for his tastes.

[WeNeedLength]

Damn 3 people still got it right though. :depressed

Fuckign Kobe and his "I'll get you your tacos, people, so cheer me" attitude.

I'll do the math, one sec.
