    Ah, simply a points comparison and not a contribution comparison. Sounds simple.

    From a game standpoint it seemed like it'd be fun because you have your prediction then you split that down to starters versus bench for each team (or just the Blazers), which is simple but has a bunch of different ways to slice and dice... lots of action as they say. Also lots of ways to be slightly off for the diffs and ranking afterward.

    If like it.

    I now see three games: Team Score Prediction (the game as it has always been), Individual Contributor, Starter v Bench scoring.

    If can see predictions along this format:

    Blazers 109
    Lakers 82

    Lillard 42

    Starters 60
    Bench 49

    Would it be okay if I didn't do one of the three games?

    Also, would a shorthand like this be okay?

    Blazer 109 (S60/B49) - Dame 42
    Lakers 82

    Probably separate lines is better to help your copypasta, huh?

    Only do the games you want. Format up to personal choice (as long as it is readable)

    Awesome, thanks. I'm just trying to think what would be easiest to type in my car two minutes before tipoff :lol:

    Mistakes will happen. May be exempted from correction. ;)
