Celtics "Big 3" vs Lakers "Big 3" - Which group scores more in Game 1?

Settled as Celtics "Big 3"

When the Boston Celtics made arguably the two biggest off-season acquisitions in trading for Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett to go along with five time all-star Paul Pierce, the national media instantly labeled the trio the Big "3". The Lakers have quite a trio of their own with Bryant, Gasol, and Odom. Which group will score most points in Game 1?

List of Each Teams "Big3" with Postseason Points per Game averages:

Celtics Big 3:
Kevin Garnett - 21.1
Paul Pierce - 19.0
Ray Allen - 14.2

Lakers Big 3:
Kobe Bryant - 31.9
Pau Gasol - 17.7
Lamar Odom - 14.7


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

exactly hub-bob...i guess sport questions are gettin like dow questions. this site is starting to fall to pieces. wheres the super users at?

All anyone has to do is click the "Flag for Review" icon, and enter the information for the correct Suspend Time. Including the correct time zone is, obviously, important.

That flag is sent directly to the appropriate category editor (in this instance, sports), and the correction will be made.

As you likely know, there are many glitches with setting accurate suspend times -- and (as you know ;-) they are important.

Any assist anyone can give with flags will be appreciated by everyone.

I recieved email specifying NBA Finals games were in-game markets. In no way am I trying to cheat/game anyone. Please, if I was misinformed or misunderstood anything change suspend time. Sorry for any confusion.

The email I recieved stated that NBA Finals questions were going to to be treated like the Superbowl questions, in-game markets. I checked questions Donal made concerning NBA finals and saw his suspended after game so I took what info I got in email and his questions/suspend times and thought this was going to be the way NBA Finals questions were to be asked.
Again, in no way am I trying to cheat/game anyone or the system. I simply may have been mistaken. Feel free to change suspend time to start of game, it doesnt matter to me either way.

Just check out all the baseball and basketball questions I have asked that have been settled. All have suspended at start of game. This should be an indication that I am not trying to cheat in anyway. I hope comments left didnt imply that.

I have added this to the list of questions I will be watching this evening. I will suspend the market as soon as the game is over.

Thanks D- I will try to get up with Donal to see if he should be the only one to make in-game market questions for the NBA Finals in future. It really doesnt matter to me either way. I dont think that we should flood the market with a ton of in-game questions, but a couple for such a great matchup and Championship series would be fun for hubdub and its users I believe.

Just going to ask you to add this one (because it is a great question)....thanks Destry.

To clarify - I am the only one that can approve in play questions (I love playing God!). For sports event/game , all questions should suspend before the start of the event/game. If it is decided that the event in question meets the criteria for in play questions and that it should have in play predictions, then I will extend the suspend time.

For the NBA finals there will only be a limited number of approved in-play questions. Not every question created on the NBA finals will be in play. They will only be in play (legally) if I approve of it.
