The Final Score

Jim and Anthony are keeping track of our predictions for how ever long we do The Final Score. Then, in 30 or 40 years or whenever we move on to other assignments, we'll tally up the results and the loser will have to buy the winner a steak dinner or a ticket to a Yankees game. Whichever is cheaper.

We'll update whenever some sporting event ends that we made predictions on. For example, three NBA series ended last night.

We're using a 5-3-1 scoring system. Five points if you get it exactly right, three if you get the team right but miss the series length by one game either way, one if you get the team right but miss the series length by more than one game.

Here's what ended last night

Lakers over Nuggets in 4
Jim's prediction: Lakers in 5 (3 points)
Anthony's prediction: Nuggets in 7 (squat)

Hornets over Mavs in 5
Jim: Hornets in 5 (nailed it! five points)
Anthony: Mavs in 6 (blew it! zip)

Spurs over Suns in 5
Jim: Suns in 7 (zero)
Anthony: Spurs in 7 (one charity point)

So that's an 8-point night for Jim vs. 1 for Anthony.
Making the standings

Jim 11
Anthony 7
