-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.

-No infighting, no excessive trolling. Game threads are holy ground in SpursTalk (seen "Highlander"? Well, like churches and cemetaries there)

I'm confused. Do we have a new round?

After march 11 Brazil had 180 points and he scored 12 last night. Equals a point total of 192.
VBM scored a day high of 19 points, but should still be behind Brazil with 183. Robz4000 and SpursRulez4eVeR both scored less than Brazil.

Or is this just me beeing my stupid self and missing something?

[Spur_Fanatic]

Nah, same round. Just reminding everyone, because this is probaly the last game of the round.

[VBM]

I'm hoping Kori will give me a Buffalo Bills trophy or something when I finish 2nd again. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. :depressed

Ah, OK. I need to get my shit together for the next round. I sucked big time most of this round.

[Spur_Fanatic]

If I had more people playing, I'd try to convince Kori to give some sort of award to 2nd and 3rd places (dunno if there are silver or bronze cups).

Brazil has this contest on lockdown. Its nearly impossible to blow a 9 point lead unless VBM and/or Robz4000 sweep the board.

Some discrepancies present. Later, if needed, let's compare notes.

[timtonymanu]

So is it confirmed that this is the last game for the round?

[Spur_Fanatic]

90% sure it is the last game of the round, yes.

Of course, the top guys could yet choke.

[timtonymanu]

All right, let's hope I finish in the top 5 at least :lol

Well all that is different is my score and Robz'. You forgot to score me for the last round and I did it myself and I got 10 points putting me at 166 total. For Rob, I'm looking through what I got...

[Spur_Fanatic]

Ah, right. I missed your picks.

Later let me know if you confirm Robz4000 scores.

[Brazil]

So Gasol stops shooting anything and Bynum one more and I'm good

[Brazil]

stop the game now !!

[timtonymanu]

Damnit I need Westbrook and Durant to make more shots :lol

And Pau and Bynum to chuck 3 more times each.

[WeNeedLength]

Ah, right. I missed your picks.

Later let me know if you confirm Robz4000 scores.

Went through all the game threads and matched every score you put down to every score in my excel sheet and they all match up - 180 points. Could be a case where you possibly mistyped his score in one of the threads, don't know.

[Brazil]

still bynum on the line for me...

[Brazil]

still bynum on the line for me...

:bang since when kobe is passing the ball in the last 2 mn of a game ??

[timtonymanu]

Damnit OT. Enough time for Kobe to throw up 6 more FGA.

[Reck]

Damn OTs have totally fucked me today.

[timtonymanu]

smh why couldn't a team win that game just now?

Would have gotten Kobe and Gasol points.

[Brazil]

stop shooting kobe lol !

[Brazil]

these OTs are going to screw me lol

[timtonymanu]

My game lines have been terrible, but the roll the dice and bonus questions have done me some good. :lol

[Spur_Fanatic]

Can take a day or two, as it did with FkLA trophy.

[Reck]

Dont push it or you wont get shit. lol

[WeNeedLength]

Any news when Round 4 will begin??

And a belated congrats to Brazil for winning this one. :toast

[Spur_Fanatic]

When Brazil gets the trophy, I guess.

I'm surprised the trophy is not there yet. But Kori probably has a ton of PM's.
Plenty of games left in the season, so we can wait some more.

Thanks WNL.

Finished better then I did overall honestly.

:depressed

[Spur_Fanatic]

I did terrible. Next round I'll cheat a little every day.

[Brazil]

SF you should start a new contest.

[WeNeedLength]

Spur_Fanatiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic,

Please start a new round today, paleeeaaaassseeee?


Sincerely,

WNL

[Reck]

Can we spice it up for the next one?

I propose a start to finish round. No 200 points goal. Lets do it the traditional way. We'll tally points when the regular season finishes, whoever ends up ontop wins.

I doubt that we'll reach 200 points anyway since there are only 20 or so games left on the schedule.

What say you guys?

I could make it to 500 pts, and it would be within reach. There are still 36 game-days, 36 possible game threads.
Enough of them for two rounds, maybe a little more.
