Congratulations to MavetheGreat! Also don’t despair if you just missed out. You’re still in great position to get invited into the end-of-the-year playoffs for the Grand Prize. Just keep playing and keep those scores high.

Also we’ve had to change the way we’re going bonus prizes this year. In years past we’ve given a small bonus prize to anyone who hit a target score. That worked great when there were 150 people playing. With 700 people playing (and yes, there were that many) too many people hit the number to make it practical and affordable. So here’s the deal. This year’s target number is 77. Anybody who hits a 77 during the month goes into a random drawing to be given an original, frame-worthy caricature of a Blazer player courtesy of Amlmart1. I have some caricatures in hand already and will be receiving more. It’s a little bit less cool that you don’t automatically get a prize for hitting the bonus number but the prize you do get if you win is a lot cooler, so it works out.

This month’s winner of the caricature, drawn at random from all the people who scored a 77 sometime during the month, is PorterFan30.

Hopefully we have the kinks worked out of the system after our shakedown month. Thanks for sticking with us through the sometimes-delayed scoreboard reports. And thanks to Manzell for getting things to work! Don’t forget we start from scratch with Tuesday’s game against the Knicks. Somebody will win another jersey in December! The form for the next game is here.

Congratulations MavetheGreat

Eternal shame on me for picking the Pistons in todays game. Now I’ll never get that Shavlik jersey. Thanks Dave, this is a lot of fun.

you and me both.

I thought for sure the early start time would doom the Blazers.

Little did I know that: a) the Pistons can’t play on Sunday matinee’s for squat, b) LaMarcus destroys Rasheed, and c) Chauncy was lucky to leave that “team”.

There’s always December!

Didnt Mave win the grand prize last year?

by Sabonis4Ever on Dec 1, 2008 1:09 AM PST reply actions 0 recs

Nope

I got knocked out in the semifinals last year, didn’t take home the prize.

Thanks to Manzell and Dave!

I have a lot of fun with this. Manzell’s new interface and statistics are fantastic!

Well done, MaveTheGreat!

You were up at the top for a long time… great pickin’!

I found myself pretty torn during that game. Obviously I wanted my Blazers to win. But if Detroit won the game, my chances were pretty good of getting that jersey.

I was… pleased that Detriot took a lead in the 4th quarter (I just barfed a bit in my mouth for saying that). I told my wife I was having a hard time, as my rooting interests were conflicting. Who knew these contests could run you through the wringer?

Seriously, Dave, Manzell, amlmart, anybody else who puts time and effort into this dealo, thank you very much. It’s a hoot!

Thanks man

You were with me step for step, sometimes ahead of me through the end of the month.

I had the Pistons originally winning this game, but then I thought I was going against the grain by switching and picking the Blazers. I got nervous when I saw that 69% of people picked Portland, but alas you had picked Sheed’s Squad. Then I got lucky that Zaron didn’t make any picks in the Laker/Blazer game because my picks were atrocious.

Go get em in December!

yup, i'm still kicking myself for missing that lakers game. Good job on the win though

Nice job!

Mave wonderful job …Like last year, I chose you to win it all….but we just fell a tad short. Way to step out with the lead. You must have had a great offseason training program!
Anyways, I am not behind you yet…cuz I am gonna crush ya the rest of the way :)

Watch out for “typical blazer fan”. My prediction is that ‘he’ will win next month’s jersey contest.
