2012 Minnesota Timberwolves "Who Ya Got!?" +/- Topic
Posted: Mon Jan 2, 2012 5:45 am
In a world where losing was as common as the act of breathing air. A world where a player who could jump over an inch had "hops". A world a million dollar move to get to the basket resulted in a two dollar finish, the Minnesota Timberwolves +/- has been there to carry us through the years.
Now 4th annual Minnesota Timberwolves "Who ya got?" +/- game returns and this time... we got a squad!
AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
As always anyone can join in on the fun at anytime and take their shot at being a winner. There is no long term commitment. Stop in and make a pick for one week, one game, or all season! It doesn’t matter. Every season people play as much as they want.
Another year another new roster. No more Jonny Flynn cheap picks hoping he gets a +5. We have fresh new faces who are producing right away. Ricky Rubio, Derrick Williams, Barea, and some old favorites are better than ever.
Last season’s winner was a man who through blood, sweat, and tears crawled from out of the gutter that was bad picks and became an ultimate success. We are talking about a man who has played this oh so cruel game since it's inception, and has always been on the bad end of the scorecard. A man who through his sheer genius, and his newly developed uncanny ability to intuit the game of basketball dominated his way to a win. This man is Calinks, the greatest poster who to ever play the game. The previous champion was the unfathomable cpfsf .Our first ever +/- champion was ALICEinJam. What does being a champion mean? It’s the player who has the most weekly wins out of any player at the end of the season. Will cpfsf or ALICEinJam come back to bask in glory once more? Will Calinks usher in an era of domination and damnation for all others who apply? Look over the roster, consult your sources, and decide who ya got, we will soon find out.
Some important information for those new to this game.
The Game: Playing the +/- game is simple. You pick any player before the game and you watch them play. Anything that player scores above his average gives you + points. Anything the player scores below his average give you - points. The goal is to have the most + points by the end of the week. Whoever has the most points by the end of the week is the weekly winner.
Example: You pick Kevin Love and he goes off for 46 points. Since Kevin Love averages 26 PPG you would get +20 for that night. Conversely if Love played and got 1 point, you would get -25.
Important Rules and Guidelines:
-You can change your pick at anytime before the game*
*(You can not change your player if he is already started playing.)
-Numbers WILL NOT be rounded. If a player is averaging 19.9 PPG it will count as 19.
-If you pick a player and they do not play you get 0 points, you don't lose or gain anything.
-You can pick any number of "insurance" players if you are unsure if your player will play.
-Do not make your picks for the next days games until after the current game is finished.
-The Calrissian rule: This rule states that any player who is coming back from injury or newly signed and has yet to play a game and thus has zero points to their average, cannot be used until they have at least 3 games under their belt.
-You can not request one player for multiple games. Eg: You can't say "Give me Rubio for the week.
This year the picking will be fast and furios. Back to backs, back to backs to backs. Make sure you get your picks in before tip off! We have seen them play for a week. We have their averages. Now it's time to ask yourselves the question... Who ya got!?
First +/- game of the season:
Monday (Tomorrow)
Wolves vs. Spurs
7:00PM
