    Welcome to the 2019-20 regular season caption contest!

    Rules: Post a caption for the given picture before the end of the game. Only the first posted caption is counted. Additional captions may be posted for fun. Each poster will receive 6 points for their caption and 4 more if they win, for a total of 10 points. A caption wins if it gets the most likes.

    The poster with the most points at the end of the season wins. There will be a prize. Have at it. If for some reason your numbers don't look right in the standings or if you have any issue with the contest feel free to pm me.

    This is a bonus edition of the contest. There will also be a question regarding the player/players in the given caption contest picture. You may bet any amount of your accrued points. If you answer the question right, you double the points you bet. All bets must be in before game time. Please include your answer and bet with your caption.

    Bonus Question: Gary Trent Jr has been on fire from three. In four games in the restart Trent has shot 22-35 from distance.

    He shot 4-5 (80%) against Memphis, 7-11 (63.6%) against Boston, 4-9 (44.4%) against Houston, and 7-10 (70%) agaibst Denver.

    Trent is averaging 5.5 made threes per game. Will he make at least 6 threes vs the Clippers?

    Trent: " Wait, are we allowed to high five while we are in the bubble?"

    Yes, I believe Gary MFing Trent, Jr. will make more than 6 threes, betting all 84 points.

    Okay, GT, so final lesson: After you make that final deep three you take your hand like this, move it up in front of your forehead, and make a little open-and-close, Bye-bye wave."

    I'll bet 50 points on no. Prove me wrong, GT.

    @Chris Craig can you clarify the question? is the question yes/no on if he makes exactly 6 threes? or supposed to be over/under 6 threes?

    @Chris Craig, so if we say "no" and he hits 7 threes we would be correct?

    Rock, paper, scissors?

    Not now Dolla! Ask Melo to play!


    YES! He’s going for 8 threes against the Clips, Portland will win, and Shaq will make a bold prediction that the Blazers have come to the bubble to win it all!
