08-09 Prediction Contest take two... 7 still need to revise 

Post#1 » by corona » Mon Nov 10, 2008 5:17 am

the iverson/billups trade so early in the season affected a lot of the questions in the nuggets prediction contest (viewtopic.php?f=13&t=843734).

because of that, mhizzle & myself felt it would be best to remake just the nuggets section.

of course everyone who answered #22 false will be credited for their correct answer
22. True/False: Iverson is a Nugget after the trade deadline. (5 points)


however most other questions were so affected by the trade we think its best to throw them out and give everyone a clean slate to answer again.

just the people that entered the original contest will be eligible.
