Friday night was another jersey contest game. There were relatively few people who guess the Blazers would beat the Clippers and even fewer who tabbed Travis Outlaw as the non-Zach leading scorer, so movement was slight in most cases. However those who moved tended to move, making the proceedings interesting. With two games left and possible scores of 100 points possible for each game nobody is out of it yet! Witness MajorTheo, who got the big goose egg in his first prediction but now sits within one point of the lead.
The game results were:
Blazers 109 Clippers 99
Scorer: Travis Outlaw
Z-Bo Rebs: 7
JJ Asts: 5
Web's Pts: 11
A recap of the scoring system:
Give yourself 30 points if you picked Portland to win.
Give yourself 20 points if you picked Travis to be the leading (non-Zach) scorer.
You can get up to 50 bonus points using the following formula:
Figure the difference between your guesses and...
--The Blazer point total
--The L.A. point total
--Zach's rebounds (multiply difference by 2)
--Jarrett's assists (multiply difference by 2)
--Martell's points
Add up those differences and subtract that number from 50. That's your bonus point total.
