*NBA PICKEM THREAD*

[bksballer89]

Figured I'd tally things up again in an effort to redeem my rushed effort from last week. Here goes:

We had 3 people with 12-2 scores this; @Shanemansj13 , @wlk3 , @bksballer89 , so it went to the 1st tiebreaker.

So the winner is @Shanemansj13 with his guess of GS/Hou total points of 216. The actual total was 224

@Shanemansj13 12-2
@CitySushi 6-8
@purguy12 10-4
@TurnUpTheHeat 11-3
@trojanfan12 8-6
@Bolts 9-5
@wlk3 12-2
@logic 10-4
@Sportsguy9695 7-7
@Hornsstampede2.0 8-6
@bksballer89 12-2
@Lakers+USC=#1 10-4
@wildturkey 11-3


So who do you PM about vcash?

You're the real MVP. Appreciate the help. Its a lot of work. Yeah you redeem yourself for sure. I think Trojan or Hammer are able to get the winner vcash

I'm confused by your answer to tiebreak #2. If you guys have better suggestion for the 2nd tiebreaker I'm all ears

Just saw this.

"Tiebreaker #2- # 3's GSW will make against Denver?"

When I saw this ^^^ I thought you meant number of 2 pointers to number of 3 pointers "#2 - #3's", so that's why I put the 2 numbers. Definitely screwed that up, when you just said Tiebreaker #2, I just wasn't thinking right that day lol.

My overall record updated:

60-33
