Celtics Christmas Giveaway - Game Two

xmas%20tree.jpgWe've put the Detroit Debacle behind us and are ready to take down Chicago and move on to Game Two of our Celtics Ticket Giveaway. 

There's still pleeeeeeeenty of time to get yourself registered and involved in this tremendous contest for two tickets for the Celtics January 4th game versus the Memphis Grizzlies.  For those of you already guessing, you know the drill.  For those of you who are new to the contest, here's how it works.

These are the games involved: 

Wed 19  vs Detroit  7:00pm

 
 Fri 21  vs Chicago  7:00pm    
 Sun 23  vs Orlando  6:30pm  
 Wed 26  @ Sacramento   10:00pm    
 Thu 27  @ Seattle   10:30pm

 

Here's what you need to do:

Create an username and then before each game you need to login and post a comment on that day's pre-game post (comment on this post for game 2).  What we need in your post is this:

For each game we have designated one Celtics starter.  You will have to guess what their basic stat line will be:  points, rebounds and assists.  Add each of those numbers up to create a total.  So if you think Garnett will score 15 points, grab 10 rebounds and dish out 5 assists, your total for Garnett = 30.

Whoever is closer to the actual stat total of that player will earn 'x' number of points.  The person with the most accumulated points after the 5 games wins.  The players and points break down like this:

In game 1--total points, rebounds and assists for Kendrick Perkins. Worth 2 pts
In game 2--total points, rebounds and assists for Rajon Rando. Worth 4 pts
In game 3--total points, rebounds and assists for Ray Allen. Worth 6 pts
In game 4--total points, rebounds and assists for Paul Pierce. Worth 12 pts
In game 5--total points, rebounds and assists for Kevin Garnett. Worth 24 pts
Tie- Breaker-total points, rebounds and assists for all 5 players in the game on 27th.

2nd-Tie-Breaker total points by the Celtics on the 27th

Game one is over, but if you missed that, no worries -- win game two and you jump to the lead.

We're also giving daily prizes away to that game's winner.  Win for that game and you will receive a free BostonsportZ t-shirt - tiebreakers will be determined by guessing the Celtics final score for that day's game.

So, to recap, each game over the next five four, we've chosen one Celtics starter.  You will need to post what you think the total of the stat line will be for that chosen player.  You should also post your guess for the total points Boston will score that night.

Visiting daily will give you your best chance to win -- only one guess per person, please.  And individual game winners and contest leaderboard will be posted following gameday.
