    So if the Blazers go at least 6-13 from now leading up to All Star break (finishing no worse than 20-34), Uncle Ty & HCP each owe me $100.

    If the Blazers go 34-13 from now to the end of the season (finishing no worse than 48-34), I get another $1000 fro, Uncle Ty. If the Blazers don't, I give him his $100 back.

    I like this set-up.

    Also- when I picked the Blazers to win 55 games and HCP picked them to win 23 games, I said I would be closer and he mocked me for it. For me to be right, the Blazers need only go 26-21 the rest of the way to finish 40-42 at least.

    You should have made it "interesting"

    If Uncle Ty and HCP win they get a Kingspeed action figure.

    If Kingspeed wins he gets some action.

    I'm actually thinking I might be able to make it. I know it's full but I'll let you guys know if I can.

    I would love action with HCP. He's hot.

    It appears as though you're banking on the team to all the sudden play significantly better than they have to win.

    Must be nice to live in that world.

    The $1000 is unlikely but 6-13 on the next 19 isn't farfetched at all.

    If you can make it, let me know. I'm #20 on the list. I'll opt out.

    No, I will handle it and I will do my very best to make it so everyone can go. Please don't start trading or swapping places.

    Some guys may naturally be 'traders' and 'swappers'. You may be harshing their mello.

    The bet should be for a pair of LILLARDS (or a weekend in Palm Springs with HCP)

    If HCP is in Palm Springs, everybody will want to stay home for some unknown reason

    I used to live near Palm Springs; it was colloquially known as "Embalmed Springs."
