    Hey chingy, I have a question. We can all agree that predicting the score exactly is pretty much impossible, right? How come it's still worth just 5 points?
    Why don't we make it a decreasing scale?
    What I mean by that is that if you guess EXACTLY the score, you get 10 points. If you're off by 1 point, you get 7 pts. If you're off by 2, you get 5 pts. If you're off by 3, you get 3 pts. What do you think about that? Just for the scores, not the stats.


    1. Cavs 92 Celtics 101 (Celtics by 9)
    2. Hornets 88 Spurs 93 (Spurs by 5)
    2. POINTS: 39 - James
    3. REBOUNDS: 16 - Chandler
    4. ASSISTS: 13 - Paul
    5. BLOCKS: 4 - Duncan
    6. STEALS: 3 - Paul
    7. 3PTM: 5 - Ray Allen

    I think it's more of a reward for if you manage to get it exactly right. Remember, you also get 5 points for correctly guessing the differential or 2 for guessing the winner. In theory, if you get the whole score right, you get 15 points. I think it might be unfair to do a sliding scale as it takes away from the outside chance of getting it exactly right. Plus, it would make my job harder [​IMG].
