Oh, damn! My bad, dude! It was honestly unintentional. I'll edit the OP to include you.
I write down everyone's picks as I see them, and I must've accidentally skipped over yours after I posted my own picks.

Damn that was a rough week for everyone

I moved up to #1 though :banana:

That Howard's wager killed me. I lost 3pts there. How can Dwight fcking Howard shot 0 free throws in a game? F|_|CK!

Deadline is in a few hours, people. Less than 4 hrs left.

[Scholar]

I'm thinking this is the last week for this round. I want to start a new round, gauge interest, maybe let new people replace inactive players, and do another ten weeks for the second round.

Anyone think that'd be fine or should we keep this one going? I just feel that the larger the gap between 1st place and last place, the less people want to play.
