Pick a Player Over/Under Points Game

[GreenFaith1819]

Redz needs 2 more TPs for his 2nd place win, Congrats!

And I won't pick Blatche...I'm scared to, to be honest .

I managed to pick Marcus Thorton a few days ago and the man went like 4 for 16 or something.

Right now, I'm paying a lot of attention to Chicago (hint). They have an All-Star PG that is hurt and their starting center is out for another week or so..

Among the teams, there are a good 8-10 players that are good picks right now..just so happens that Blatche has been a money ball for a while. I'm glad to see him getting some run, though..I've always thought he was good.

Then of course you have your Wades, Durants, Kobes, Lebrons, Carmelos..all liable to go off for a big night.

Is that rule starting tonight or does it go back 7 days from today?... I'm sure I've won within the last week, but I don't know who I've won with.

Wow, that's an excellent question.

Let's start from tonight's game.

To refresh anyone who hasn't seen...New rule:

IF YOU ARE THE WINNER ON ANY GIVEN DAY, YOU MAY NOT PICK THE SAME PLAYER AGAIN FOR A PERIOD OF 7 DAYS

self policing encouraged

Rebus this is supposed to be a friendly site.....blasting me for picking a guy that chose to be naked is rude

[RebusRankin]

Will some TPs make up for it?

Redz, I have a "what if" to pose ... say aomeone picks Collison one night and it's a West Coast game that doesn't end until 1:30 AM, but they want to make their pick for the next day and go to bed and he's playing then as well, so they pick him again, BUT he ends up winning at 1:30 AM and that person doesn't find out until later in the morning or later that day ... I'm assuming that person would then have to change their pick before tip-off that next evening or forfeit their pick, right? The problem is that it's a great pick and someone else hasn't had the opportunity to pick that player cuz he's been tied up all that time by someone else. Again, just constant policing and self-policing, I guess. I really like the new rule, by the way, as I think, (even with small glitches like above), it's going to allow for a much more even playing surface, and a lot less sour feelings. Just for common knowledge, both Matt and I have LOST with Blatche recently, so he's not always a sure bet, (but a very good one). Eventually his average is going to catch up with reality and the advantage will be nill.
