NBA Pick 'Em: Week One

[Inferno]

Heat won by 12. No one had it. Sakkreth and Inferno were closest

Murdering you nikkas so far.

[Sakkreth]

Murdering you nikkas so far.

You predicted that Miami will win

[TylerOO]

2-0 so far but haven't gotten the score right in either of them.

I was banned, but I bet one of u n!ggas on Tuesday's game concerning Bosh scoring more than 20pts. Mark down my +1pt.

Why'd you get banned?

Why'd you get banned?

Let's just just say It's some soft ass ppl on this board who like to click da report button. Also I guess I "promote" violence and illegal activities on this board not suitable for children who lurk this board. And some other garbage.

Doesn't matter, I'm over it. Not a big deal.

No, no. That's how it works. I made that specific wager easy intentionally. Either D12 hits exactly 50% or he doesn't. If he doesn't, you get a point. I wanted to see if anyone would catch on to how that specific wager was.

1) Dwight Howard will make 50% of his free throws on Sat., Nov. 2nd vs the Utah Jazz.

If he shoots more than 50 percent he still made 50 percent.

What I mean is say he shoots 55% he still made 50% of his free throws. You have to say "exactly 50%" otherwise it doesn't work.


It's like saying

1) Kobe Bryant will score 30 points Nov. 2nd vs the Utah Jazz.

If Kobe scores 32 he still scored 30 - just scored 2 more.

[fsvr54]

Only 3 people (including myself) are 4-0 so far.

[Sakkreth]

Only 3 people (including myself) are 4-0 so far.

Those would be:

Sakkreth
Roses'sACL

Didn't looked up wagers, but with those there are probably a guy or two more with same amount of points as we are.

Shit, you stumped me. Ok. I can't change it now. Let's just assume the wager is still this way. I don't want to ruin it for anyone who now can't change his wager to something else.
Next time, though, I will word things better. Week 2 and onward will be better.

Thanks to everyone being active and participating. I was hoping this game would draw more posts and possibly be fun to go through, but so far it's been lackluster. Don't worry, though. We'll keep it moving.

FRIENDLY REMINDER
Tonight is the last game of the week.
The Week 2 thread will be posted some time on Sunday evening, likely after 6 pm PST (9 pm Eastern), so be sure to check back then. The standings will be updated in the OP of Week 2. Yes, I've been keeping track.

[Sakkreth]

Scholar I think people will get more active in this when there will be standings updated and some bets will start kicking in. It will get more competitive when people realise where they are on standings and how many points they need to surpass someone.

You know if I had switched the Heat game predictions including score, I would have done really really really well this week.
Game One (Tues., 10/29/13): Chicago Bulls @ Miami Heat by 1.
Game Two (Wed., 10/30/13): Memphis Grizzlies @ San Antonio Spurs by 5.
Game Three (Thurs., 10/31/13): Golden State Warriors @ Los Angeles Clippers by 2
Game Four (Fri., 11/01/13): Miami Heat @ Brooklyn Nets by 12
Game Five (Sat., 11/02/13): Houston Rockets @ Utah Jazz by 9
