Been meaning to do this for quite some time.
I wanted to celebrate our own @ChrisMWilliams and his Fanatic: Stories from 20 years inside Iowa State book with Rob Gray.
I write the occasional story and I've found the blank page eventually pushes every writer into madness. It's a lot of pressure. I'm always amazed when people like Chris overcome that to put out an actual book.
Since I live in the distant badlands, local connector and overall mensch @Cycsk made an incredibly kind offer to help me obtain and ship them out.
There will be three separate contests and I'll space them out without overlap:
HOW DO YOU WIN THIS CONTEST?
In honor of the NBA playoffs, post in this thread your guess of the winner and final score of this specific game:
You must make (or edit) your final guess in this thread before Game 3 tips off. One guess per account. No new accounts allowed. Correct winner with closest score guess wins the book.
To be safe, I suggest you post your initial guess now, so you give yourself a chance in case you get busy later this week and forget. Can also keep tabs on the first two games and edit your initial guess if you feel like anything has changed, eg: Wemby abducted by actual aliens.
LMK if I should add or change anything. Good luck!

In appreciation, I will be giving away THREE copies of his book.

There will be three separate contests and I'll space them out without overlap:
1.) Guess the score of an upcoming NBA game, closest wins.
2.) Solve an incomprehensible puzzle (that I create), first solution wins.
3.) PREMIUM ONLY: Solve another incomprehensible puzzle, first solution wins.
