Challenge for NBA Finals Game 4:   Miami at Dallas.   Each tribe will rank 16 players for points, 16 players for Rebounds, and 16 players for assists.   You must rank them in order of the stat.  You will receive points based upon how far down your lists you make it.  You will get credit for a player so long as he recorded less or equal to the previous player's stat for the game.   So. if you have James, Nowitzki, Wade as your top 3 in points and they score 33, 33, 34, respectively.  You will get credit for the first 2 players and nothing after the third.      You will get 3 points for each player in the points; 2 in rebounds, and 1 for assists.   You must include all 10 starters in your rankings.    You will get credit for your top choice as long as they record at least 1 of the stat.    Obviously, the greater that stat the more room you have for your subsequent picks.

Governors tribe has an advantage earned by winning the last challenge.  They will get credit for the top 3 rebounds so long as they put a player there, even if they are out of order. 

I expect to get something that looks like this:

Points
1. Player name expected to get most points
2. Next choice
3. Next choice
And so on.

Same for rebounds and Assists.

Winning team will get an advantage in the next challenge

We must include all 10 starters?  What if someone doesn't start and/or play due to injury, coach's decision, etc?  Do you mean the 10 starters from Game 3?

I would say that the starters from game 3 would likely start game 4 due to the importance of the championship series.  So, if you rank either the starters from game 3 or 4, it would be acceptable.  

I agree that all 10 starters from Game 3 will probably start Game 4.  Was just making sure that if Dirk's problem finger fell off and he couldn't play, we wouldn't get screwed somehow.

Thanks.
