*NBA PICKEM THREAD*

[Arizona_Sting]

@Arizona_Sting

Do you want to allow changes as long as they are prior to the start of the first game? If so, folks can tag me in this thread with their changes and I can edit their picks for them. That way you don't have to go back and look for changes when figuring out each participants wins and losses.

Yeah as long as it's before the game starts they can make a pick change.

Cool.

Anyone who wants to make a change before the first game each week, just tag me in a post and I'll edit it for you in your picks.

13 people in so far. Don't want to go over 16 so the next 3 to make picks are the last 3.

Also, only pick if you plan on doing it for the long haul please. If you miss more than 2-3 weeks in a row I'll just assume you quit and remove you from the updated standings after the third week. I'll do my best to send PM's to people that miss picks.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Actually, 14 in so far (including Bk even though he hasn't submitted picks I know he's in)

So two spots left, maybe 3 just so we can have one extra if someone drops out.

You're good. Not adding anyone else starting now.

@trojanfan12
If possible, I'd like to change my pick on Rockets@Heat and take the 4.5 points.
If its too late, no biggie.

Done. You got your request in before the start of today's games, so you're good.

Houston turned you off last night I'm assuming?

Houston turned you off last night I'm assuming?

I honestly paid so little attention to the preseason that I didn't know Howard was having issues or suspended.

Rockets could very well smoke us, but I made the pick on them being whole and healthy, with Howard as a major reason.
I doubt he is near 100% on Sunday.
