    The predictions game is something I've been running for about 10 years now (started back on the ESPN board).

    Prior to game time, you predict the final score and then people get ranked by the following:

    1 - picked the right team to win
    2 - total point differential (team A pick - team A actual) + (team B pick - team B actual)
    3 - differential in point of the team you picked to win

    That is for individual games and then I have cumulative rankings wherein players are rated by their average position, etc. I have Adidas sponsoring the game and monthly winners get a $50 gift certificate for shopadidas.com. There are also prizes for half-yearly and full-year winners (bigger and better prizes for those).

    The contest is open to all fans (a Laker fan won in November) but is only for Blazer games - I don't do other teams. :tsktsk:

    Anyway, that is the very brief summary.

    Exactly.

    Also true. He's a lot like Ruben Patterson in that way. As Kobe once said about Patterson: "He's a garbage player who gets garbage points".

    I think this is the closest that we will get to a playoff game during the regular season, going against the champs, who are on a 10 game win streak, on their homecourt. The performance of every player on the team will show what kind of playoff team we are.

    If KG brings his A-game and Joel does well, I'll give him props. So yes I'm open to it exposing that he's a good player.

    While not greatly larger than an average game, the number of predictions for tonight's game has definitely increased over the average.
