Please also remember that everyone started with 5 points in Week One. All points include the initial 5 points, all picks + predicted "won-by-X-pts" totals, bets and wagers.


The Rules
Make your selections in bold. Please also include how many points you think the specific team will win by (e.g. Los Angeles Lakers by 10 vs. Los Angeles Clippers).
You have until Wednesday, Nov. 13th at 5 pm Eastern Standard Time to make your selections. Any picks made after this set date and time will not count. Anyone who edits their post after this set date and time will face consequences.
Read the rules in the previous thread for more details. (if someone can link..thanks)


The Bets
In your initial post where you will cast your picks, you may make a bet challenge to anyone willing to accept. If someone accepts, he will have to quote your post. Only one person may accept any one bet. You may only bet up to 5 points. Person who made the bet may have to shoot me a PM if the bet is not acknowledged by me in a timely manner to let me know the bet has been accepted. You have until Wednesday, Nov. 13th at 5 pm Eastern Standard Time to cast your bets. You may NOT cast bets for games or NBA related events that have passed (eg. do not make a bet saying, "Miami will beat Bulls on opening night" since it already happened).

The Wagers
Please understand the rules before posting. If you clearly did not understand, I will ignore your wager.

Pick one that you DISAGREE with (meaning, you don't think it will happen) if you want to risk a point (Note: You may only choose one):

1) Carmelo Anthony will score his first 40 point game in Week 3 (Wed. to Sun.).
2) Oklahoma City Thunder will average more points per game in Week 3 than the Minnesota Timberwolves. (Wed. to Sun., Each team has 3 games)
3) Chris Paul will record at least 3 steals vs. Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, Nov 16.


Wagers are optional. Do not choose one if you don't want to risk losing a point.


THE PICKS:
Game One (Wed., 11/13/13): Toronto Raptors @ Memphis Grizzlies
Game Two (Thurs., 11/14/13): Houston Rockets @ New York Knicks
Game Three (Thurs., 11/14/13): Oklahoma City Thunder @ Golden State Warriors
Game Four (Fri., 11/15/13): Philadelphia 76ers @ Atlanta Hawks
Game Five (Sat., 11/16/13): Brooklyn Nets @ L.A. Clippers


Quick Note: I am taking over for Week 3 due to unfortunate cicumstances, so please bear with me if you feel a mistake has been made. If you do note a mistake, please PM me. Other than that, let's continue to Week 3 and get your picks in now!

Wager - 1 I'll disagree.

[branslowski]

-1 for the wager.

Oh yea...For some reason I thought that Curry Shit was declined....And I thought he was hurt.

[hitman24]

Game One (Wed., 11/13/13):
Wager - 1 I'll disagree since Kevin has already scored 40 once this year so he won't be able to do it for the first time again.


You're right. Please see updated wager everyone and fix. Thanks.

Carmelo Anthony will score his first 40 point game in Week 3 (Wed. to Sun.).




With that out of the way, I'm sure you guys are wondering why I was banned. The reason given to me was "Don't give mean negs," but it's funny that I was banned after calling out Jeff in his thread in the OTC. He said he's take care of harassment, so I PM'd him about a specific poster who had been following me around and quoting me to mock me, neg me with racist comments and even sent me 14 PMs in 20 min one time asking me to kill myself.
3 days went by without a response back from Jeff or any actions taken against that poster. I posted in Jeff's thread (it's the one where he is claiming racist and violent negs won't be tolerated), asking him if this is just all talk, that he is just making false threats without repercussions. A few hours later, I get banned.
:confusedshrug:
I know some of you will call me a snitch. That's fine. Jeff said he's take care of harassment, but nah. He just banned me instead for calling him out.
Oh, well. He owns this forum. What can I do? If he wants to be a dictator from time to time, it's up to him.

[TheGreatDeraj]

Damn Scholar sounds like that was a totally undeserved ban. Unless, there is more to the story. For instance, IF you sent racist or violent PMs as well and then were trying to get someone banned for it. Not saying you did. Other than that's a really low move by Jeff and basically entrapment.

But seriously, don't let anyone get you mad on the internet, especially with racism. 90% of the time the person doesn't even believe what they're typing, it's just to get a rise out of you, and the other 10% of the time they're a moron anyways, so their opinion is invalid.

Really bruh?:lol

U turnin a fun game into some strict ass no contact shit....The picks were obviously in a good 2+ hours before tip off...How can it not count? U gonna dismiss 2 very active posters because of almost late picks? Everybody not gonna be late next week, and even if they are, making picks before the game starts is good enough....This a fun forum game, not serious life shit, lol u really finna to act like dat bruh.?

If I'm dismissed this week because my picks were 2 hours before any of the games, then I honesty shouldn't even participate in this shit wit all dis frugazy strict "It's my toy so I tell u how to play with it" bullshit.

Basically, If I'm dismissed for this week, then just take me out of this contest.:oldlol:

Damn it. I picked HOU to win by 10 & GSW to win by 3. That Melo wager makes me lose a pt, though.

dam you iggy :mad:

I predicted the Rockets by 3 exactly and I had OKC winning by 1, so if Iggy hadn't made that shot I would have exactly picked both games.

lol at melo trolling nearly everyone in this thread

Just a quick heads up, I will be making the Week 4 thread some time later tonight. Expect to see it some time after the Nets @ Clippers game. If not, it will be up early Sunday morning.

Also, :roll: @ Everyone of us who got trolled by Melo. -1 point is going to hurt.
