All right folks, in conjunction with my post this morning, we are going to be doing our trivia challenge for four free tickets to Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. I realize the Bucks just lost Michael Redd for the season, but I'm telling you, the chance to watch Brandon Jennings play in his new flat-top hairstyle is definitely worth a free ticket.
Thanks to a great idea from Seth of Posting and Toasting, it's going to be more of a prediction than a trivia question. Basically, here's what is going to happen:
1. I pose the question below concerning an upcoming game. It could be something like "how many minutes will Brian Cook see tonight?" Okay, that's a little cruel.
2. You make your best guess. You will have until the game starts to guess the answer to the question. Once the game starts, the comments section will be closed.
3. Ideally, we will have two winners. If there is a five-way tie, then our ticket coordinator will use a random number generator to select two winners.
4. Each winner will receive two tickets. We here at TDS encourage social interaction, and would like to avoid forcing you to go a game by yourself.
5. I'm going to announce the winner/winners as soon as I can once the game ends. If it's obvious that you won, e-mail me (click on the mail icon next to my name at the bottom of the page), and I will send your e-mail address to our ticket coordinator - she will hook you up from there.
6. Any cheaters trying to send me an e-mail claiming they won will be caught. I have more power than you realize. Be scared, cheaters.
Clear enough? Okay, let's play.
This question applies to Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Aaron Brooks scored a career-high 43 points last night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. How many points will Brooks score against Dwyane Wade and the Heat?
Good luck!

I thinking 27pts
2/3 OF THE EARTHS SURFACE IS COVERED BY WATER, THE OTHER 3RD IS COVER BY CHUCK HAYES
are we allowed to change our minds?
like i could guess 68 cause he is on a record breaking streak and then come back down to earth and guess 32?
24 pts
Rafer can’t hold AB! no way son

21 pts 6 assists 3 rbs 1 stl.
Is it fair to call the entire stat line? I feel like most people are going to guess somewhere between 16-25 pts so I was thinking that could be a way to differentiate from each other.

Suggestion:
Have you thought about having a “tiebreaker” (like the number of assists, in this case. Or minutes. Or whatever) in the event there is a 5-way tie?
20 pts
Miss-placed Houstonian living and going to school in the wilderness of Wyoming. Fresno St. 28 - Wyoming 35 (2 OT)!!! Hands down best game I have ever been to.
Can't use the tickets if I win
but I want to play anyway…16 points, Chalmers should be able to defend Brooks to some extent
Check out nickandroll.blogspot.com
my guess
17 points. the shots will not be there because wade is a great defensive player. aaron will get his on a lot of 3s, but wade will likely be rotating off of ariza to help on brooks.
Wafer . . . again. (Marv Albert, HOU v. CLE Feb 2009)
-one of the FEW at Toyota Center who has the Wafer jersey
THE WINNER IS.......
So here it is….I’ll be happy to receive my email when I find out I win. Thanks Dream Shake!!! 22 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds
Carl Landry is my father.....I know he can do it!

25 POINTS

27pts
27 points and for kicks…. 4 assists and 3 boards and 1 steal.
I'm going with 25 points.

We play Fridays?
Chalmers is bigger but not too much quicker, he’s a good defensive guard though. I’m gonna go with… 22 points, and for the kicks, 6 assists, 2 rebounds.
I also predict Ariza will go off on Miami for 30
But I will be wrong. I can’t believe O’Neal gets paid $23m a year, that’s fuckin embarassing.
17pt, 4 assist, 3 boards
now is it necessary against D-wade or does it count when he breaks rafer’s ankles?
I submit that
He will score 26. Also, It will be revealed that rafer hates puppies.

Can't use the tickets also ... but heck, this is fun!
My guess is … 30 points!
And we win by 5 pts, no overtimes!!!
coolahawk says
28 points. Brooks is on a roll
28
28!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sadly
i’m going to have to say 13
definitely hope its more than that
33
i don’t like basketball that much…
i don’t live in houston anymore…
i just know dave and wanted to check out his blog.
lets win me some tickets
by Jessebeatsdaveatpokersometimes on Jan 15, 2010 12:35 AM CST reply actions
24 points
realistically he should be able to score in the 20’s, but i’ll say 24
Even if I guess correctly, give the tickets to someone else…
… since I am not traveling to the game from NY State on such short notice.
I say Brooks will have 14 points VS Wade.
A little low maybe but he has logged a lot of minutes the last 2 games plus I think there’s a chance he may have partied hard afterwards since his birthday was Thursday…
I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...

Squeedunk sez... 19 points
Too many minutes played the previous 2 games, plus birthday partying yesterday. 19 points for A.B. Scola and Landry will pick up the slack and we’ll win by 4.
Squeedunk
22 points
he’ll have a nice game, but Rafer will try to get into his head…
he continues on a streak
34 points 4/9 from 3 point land and 6 assits 5 rebounds
Great players dont win championships.....Great TEAMS win championships
Brian Cook
Will see a total of 1100 minutes left on his T-mobile phone tonight. Maybe someone should call him… its would be a total waste of minutes on his part.
21 pts
come on brooks! win me some tickets on my b-day (not joking, seriously it’s my b-day), although it’s quite nice to have MLK on the same day
