Tiebreaker: How many points will Steph Curry and Lebron James combine for? 92

So, Curry going for 80? I have Lebron down for a solid 12.

You can remove me from the standings if you'd like @Hornsstampede2.0 or whoever does the next standings update.

I feel like it would be hypocritical for me to keep participating and make someone else tally up my points after passing on the responsibility to someone else.

I do have an idea for you guys though, just a thought… what if one person posted the games each week and everyone did an update of their own standings for the week and PM'ed them to whoever runs it? It would be honor code so everyone would have to be trusted, but it'd save a lot of time. Just a thought. GL to everyone the rest of the year.

@Arizona_Sting IMO, no reason for you to not participte. As a group, we just need to get it done. You did quite a bit. I say just make picks for a while, and if down the road you have time to choose games for a week just volunteer like everyone is.

Everyone should grade themselves on the honor system.
I volunteer to post which teams won after todays games if that would help.

Ok, so I made an effort to add up all the wins for this week. PLEASE double check yourself to make sure. By my count both @TurnUpTheHeat and @Hornsstampede2.0 tied for 1st with 9-4 and both had the exact same tie breaker (59) so I guess they are co winners.

This week's scores:
@Hornsstampede2.0 : 9-4
@TurnUpTheHeat : 9-4
@purguy12 : 8-5
@Shanemansj13 : 8-5
@Bolts : 7-6
@wildturkey : 7-6
@bksballer89 : 6-7
@CitySushi : 6-7
@wlk3 : 6-7
@trojanfan12 : 6-7
@Sportsguy9695 : 6-7
@Lakers+USC=#1 : 5-8
@logic : 5-8

If these are correct, I'll add them to the overall standings later.
