It's either Bahku (closest to margin of victory) or NF (closest to actual final score), right?

The winner is whoever I deem to have made the most accurate prediction. So in other words, there's no official way that I'm doing this.

THE WINNER: NF

EXPLANATION: He didn't pick the most accurate point spread, but his combined point total prediciton was 177, only 13 more than the 164 points the teams ended up combining to score. Bahku overshot the combined point total by 38, so I'm not going to give him credit for the 32 point spread (which was only 5 better than NF).

Also, props to billysan for calling the Perkins double-double, Cassell's lack of pt, Bibby's subpar performance, and a below average scoring afternoon from The Big Three. The only problem for billysan was that his final score wasn't close to the actual outcome.

And on a separate note, while scanning the boxscore to decide the winner of this contest I discovered that Bibby only attempted 3 shots all game in 25 minutes of action. It's unbelievable to me that the starting point guard and team leader in game 7 appearances only took 3 shots all game. What is wrong with this guy on the road? He was just a completely different player in Boston than in Atlanta during this series.
