Well, well, well. This was another interesting game. Very few people scored big on the statistical portion, mostly owing to the Cavs scoring only 76 and Martell not scoring at all. What's more almost nobody had faith that the backcourt could outscore Zach. On top of that many of the leaders have been making hay predicting that the Blazers would lose and it bit some of them this time. (Probably still a solid strategy for the month though...) Basically this game had the same effect as if 10 cars were on the lead lap of a NASCAR race and five or six of them smashed into each other, with a couple more barely escaping. Technically speaking we do have a new overall leader, but the margin is so slight as to make the position nominal.
Oh...one more thing. The guy who titled his comment "My Meaningless Predictions" ended up scoring the highest of anybody on this one. Nice.
The first number after your name is your overall score, the number in parentheses is your score for this game. The three leaders overall are in bold.
