For those who wish to participate, I'll start doing the contributor predictions for tonight's game. Think of this as a beta and we may adjust formula, etc but may as well get started. Just like with the predictions game that has been going on for years, predict who you believe will have the largest contribution to the Blazers game and their contribution points. For example, tonight I am going to to with Lillard as the top contributor and predict 35 contribution points. Lillard - 35 That is all I need - a name and a number. Of course, if Lillard goes for 50 again, I'm blown out of the water as far as the closeness of my prediction but will still have picked the right person as top contributor. If top contributors tonight were CJ, Mason then Damian, anyone who picked CJ would be ranked first (according to the closeness of their prediction to his contribution points), anyone who picked Mason would then be ranked and then all who picked Lillard would be ranked. Hope y'all enjoy it. Gramps...
Contribution points are assigned as follows: Points + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocks - Turnovers. See http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/predictions-game-question.297892/ for more in-depth discussion and to add your thoughts if you would like any changes. Gramps...
I agree with Sly. I think the prize is nailing number 2. Dame will almost always get #1. When he doesn't it will be CJ (though Plums and Davis might be up there once in a while) With that said.. Dame - 38
Not a lot of originality so far: Most popular predictions: Lillard - 38 (3 people) Lillard - 37 (2 people) another five or so within a few points of those two predictions. Three people not playing it safe and going with CJ. Nobody really taking a chance and going with Plums, Davis, Henderson, Aminu, etc. Waiting for someone to pick Connaughton...
