The Offical 2012/2013 NBA Predictions Competition Discussion

[PP34]

I decided that it would be fun to have a competition similar to what the American Football board has. Anyone can play obviously. The numbers are not limited. However there will be a certain date for submission of entry. I'll ask for your input on that.

Competition:
You must predict the regular season Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, Most Improved Player, Scoring Champion, Rebounding Champion and Assist Champion. Along with the division ranking and maybe the East and West standing (I'll need your thoughts on this). Do you guys want to include Finals predictions as well? Or should we run a separate competition when the regular season comes to a close?
Points Structure:
We'll discuss this below before deciding.
Prizes:
I'm not really sure. Perhaps PN could ask if we could get a basketball below our avatar in gold if we come first, silver if second and bronze in third? This competition would mainly be for fun and a laugh. If you guys are willing to suggest something feel free.

So before handing in your entries we'll decide on what we're doing and then I'll make a predictions thread.

 

[PP34]

Nobody interested?

And you have to consider, that with now the defunct KU thread gone, not much traffic is around anymore...

Need most improved aswell and its perfect. Although James White already has most improved wrapped up, so its probably a waste of time....

 

[Papa Juggs]

Unless there's an official winner and you can bet on it why bother?

Nobody wants subjective garbage like "most improved". Is it a real award? Is there a real betting market?*





*If so disregard annoyance.
