2009-2010 Nuggets Prediction Contest

[corona]

It's that time of the year again. Annual prediction contest. Same as in previous years....respond with your answers in this thread, we'll tally up the points at seasons end to see where everyone stands.

Last seasons winner was RRFB with a score of 165.

The thread will be locked and all entries closed on October 26th around 10pm est. You're free to edit your responses up until that point.

Please copy and paste the questions into your answers, it makes it much easier to score at the end of the season. It also helps if you make your answers a different color or make them bold, but that's not mandatory by any means.

If you have any questions about a question and want me to clarify how it will be scored feel free to ask in this thread. In almost all cases I'll go with 'qualified' leaders in statistical categories. For instance Nene may go 1/2 from 3 this season on heaves from halfcourt and thus shoot 50%, but I wouldn't count it because its such a limited quantity.

Thanks. Enjoy & good luck.
