    Continuing the great tradition of predicting without predicting.

    No indication of who is who leads to a non-prediction.

    Care to clarify and be counted?

    I didn't and its my damn fault for not inquiring about the rules. Oh well, Jewish way of learning, do and learn. Where the Greek way is learn learn learn and never do!

    Well, technically since the 'home' team is on the "bottom" he's predicting the Blazers to LOSE. :MARIS61:

    True. But just-in-case I make no assumptions so no indication is not a prediction.

    I know, it's hard when the rules are only posted in the preseason one. From what I've gathered you are supposed to pick the player that will contribute the most value according to this formula:
    Player contribution prediction:

    Predict which player will have the greatest contribution points for the game. You post the name of the player and their contribution points. The contribution points are calculated as follows:

    Points & Rebounds (face value)
    Assists & Blocks (value * 1.5)
    Steals (value * 2)
    Turnovers (value * -2)

    Those that picked the right player will be placed above anyone who didn't and then those that did guess the correct player will be ranked by who was closest to the actual value.

    Heh, I know. I'd be the same way. I just wanted to find a way to use the :MARIS61: emote.

    Kinda depends on what the bench scores . The Blazers could very well have CJ being the top scorer at 33 and win if the bench brings 40 to 50 points. It’s that extra half point per assist that gets weird?

    Once again, are you saying he will score 33 points or be worth 33 contribution points? They are completely different things.

    It’s that extra half for a assist that gets weird? I went with Lillard at 35 overall.

    Seems to me like you are thinking too much. But I just throw a number out there and see what happens?

    I'm not overthinking it, but if Dame only has 35 contribution points that is either a below average game for him or he likely wouldn't be the highest contributor that game if that makes sense. Sure the team seems more balanced this year so it could in theory be fine.

    Going off of last year's stats for Dame he averaged 38.5 contribution points per game. It would be interesting to see how many games he scored less than that was he still the top contributor? It would also be interesting to see if there was any correlation between Dame's contribution number and wins and losses. If Dame has a lower than average contribution score my guess is it's because it was a blowout either way and he didn't play as much, CJ or Nurk had a monster game, or the scoring was very spread out.
