    Ok, here are the updates after the New Orleans game:

    ============================================
    Results after 3 games
    ============================================
    Spurs Record: 2 - 1
    Max Prediction Points: 5
    Manu's Average: 14.0ppg

    Leaders:
    1st Place: Penya [3-0, 5pts, +2.4 manu's avg]
    2nd Place: NFGIII [3-0, 5pts, +2.5 manu's avg]
    3rd Place: Spurs Brazil [3-0, 5pts, +3.3 manu's avg]
    Bonus Prediction
    : tothrowed [14.2ppg, +0.2]

    Spurstalk Totals (total predictions made right - wrong):
    @ Houston (28-28): 17 - 34; 0.333
    vs Phoenix (37 - 23): 37 - 14; 0.725
    @ New Orleans (31-29): 30 - 21; 0.588

    Below 0.450: 0-0; 0.000
    Between .450 - .600: 47 - 55; 0.461
    Above 0.600: 37 - 14; 0.725
    Games to Date: 17 - 34; 0.549

    ============================================

    Spurs Record means the team's record so far in the game list; max prediction points means the max tie-breaking points one could get by making correct predictions. Manu's average is just his average so far (for the bonus prediction).

    Leaders just show who's leading so far. Format is Name [record, points, +/- on bonus tiebreaker]. The Bonus Prediction is who is closest to guessing manu's average, which is the little contest within this big contest.

    Spurstalk Totals are just the total predictions made for each game or for each total of games. For example, so far after 3 games, there were 47 right predictions for games against opponents between .450 - .600, and 55 wrong predictions.

    The record beside each name in the front page is just how many right predictions to how many wrong ones they have made, and the total tie breaking points they've gotten so far.

    Hope this explains everything, and congrats so far to the 3 posters with perfect records!

    ============================================
    Results after 3 games
    ============================================
    Spurs Record: 4 - 1
    Max Prediction Points: 8
    Manu's Average: 15.0ppg

    Leaders:
    1st Place: Bukefal [4-1, 6.5pts, +0.4 manu's avg]
    2nd Place: FeZZy [4-1, 6.5pts, +0.5 manu's avg]
    3rd Place: timtonymanu [4-1, 6.5pts, +0.8 manu's avg]
    Bonus Prediction
    : FernandoTD21[15.2ppg, +0.2] and Colargol [14.8ppg, -0.2]

    Spurstalk Totals (total predictions made right - wrong):
    @ Houston (28-28): 17 - 34; 0.333
    vs Phoenix (37 - 23): 37 - 14; 0.725
    @ New Orleans (31-29): 30 - 21; 0.588
    vs New Orleans (31 - 31): 47 - 4; 0.922
    @ Memphis (31-30): 21 - 30; 0.588



    Below 0.450: 0-0; 0.000
    Between .450 - .600: 115 - 204; 0.564
    Above 0.600: 37 - 14; 0.725
    Games to Date: 152- 255; 0.596

    =================================

    All three leaders shifted, and Bukefal is currently the best. A chance to earn 2 points for a correct prediction tonight, and the rest of the games will only be worth 1 point, so this could be a big difference maker. We're also tied in the ginobili one, and I never thought of a tie breaker for that, but I will if need be at the end lol

    Congrats to the winners so far, we're over halfway done, no perfect predictions anymore though

    Feb 26th @ Houston W
    Feb 28th vs Phoenix W
    Mar 1st @ New Orleans W
    Mar 5th vs New Orleans W
    Mar 6th @ Memphis W
    Mar 8th @ Cleveland L
    Mar 10th vs New York W
    Mar 12th @ Minnesota W
    Mar 13th vs LA Clippers W

    8 - 1

    Ginobili will average 23.5 PPG

    Story of the run: Manu finds his stroke, carries us, Spurs offer extension...

    Not including the LeBron no show (which would have made the loss at Cleveland far more predictable)... this overall prediction looks spot on (especially the comment at the end)...

    So far so good... I actually screwed the pooch on the first game, but other than that, let's hope the rest is correct...

    ============================================

    Ok guys, so the winners as promised, ohmwrecker you can have my avatar until next sunday, and apalisoc_9, you can have my sig lol. Just PM me. Also, few questions with input from you guys... should we have two more versions, or spread it out and have predictions until the end of the season? I noticed there were a lot of ties because there were only a few sensible choices for the predictions. So I think that if we spread it out, it won't rely so much on the tiebreakers to get a final result. I'm leaning towards until the end of the season, but lemme know what you guys think.

    i think that the next 9 games will be a lot more difficult to predict, resulting in less ties. there were a lot of sub 500 teams that we played this last time... but it doesnt matter to me... we can stretch it out if you want.

    Congrats to apalisoc_9! You win!
    No way I would have thought I'd even get close. I just looked at the schedule and Manu's recent past and took a shot. But if the Spurs didn't have those blowouts then I would have been toast predicting Manu's avg.

    Thanks ffadicted for the poll and looking forward to the next one.
