In the championship of the 2nd Poll Competition it was a tie. The tie was between Disney Wonder and Welcome. I decided that there will be a poll between them. Hopefully, a post will win this time.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Yesterday, I went to the Los Angeles Clippers vs Milwaukee Bucks game! I ended up going by telling my dad that they were playing 2 days ago and he said, "Why don't we go there instead of going to their house?". We went with my friend Riley and his dad. Riley recently created Celtics Nation and Thunder Universe!
They picked us up. We were going to ride the train, but it was to late. We ended up passing the stadium, finding a parking spot ten minutes after the game was supposed to start, finding a shortcut, crossing the street, running through Staples Center, having to go to a different aisle, and making the game 2 seconds before tip-off.
After the first quarter, the score was 15-18 and the Clippers were winning. There were a bunch of amazing dunks by Blake Griffin throughout the game, including an alley-oop from Chris Paul. Lob city! When the first half ended, the score was 40-38 and the Bucks were winning! When the 3rd quarter ended, the score was 65-72 and the Clippers were winning. The Clippers ended up winning 92-86!

Here are some halftime stats:
Chauncey Billups: 6 points
Blake Griffin: 10 points, 8 rebounds
Chris Paul: 4 points
Caron Butler: 6 points, 4 rebounds
In the third quarter Caron Butler got 14 points! That brought him to 20!
Blake Griffin got to a double-double with 6:14 left in the game. That brought him to 20 points, 10 rebounds.
Here are the stats leaders:
Points:
Brandon Jennings: 21
Blake Griffin: 22
Rebounds:
Drew Gooden: 13
Blake Griffin: 14
Assists:
Brandon Jennings: 7
Chris Paul: 7
Steals:
Brandon Jennings: 2
Chris Paul: 4
Blocks:
Jon Leuer: 2
DeAndre Jordan: 3
Chauncey Billups didn't do as good as normal from beyond the three point line, finishing 2 out of 6. (Same stats from beyond the three point line as Caron Butler)
Here is a picture of a sign I got:
Did you watch the game?
Who do you think was player of the game? I think it was Blake Griffin.

Round 1: Ultimate Blogging Challenge
It is time for the Ultimate Blogging Challenge to start! First thing is first, let's find out the official teams:
Team 1: Jaden and Ethan
Team 2: Mark and Jake
Team 3: Clarrisa and Dylan
This will not usually happen, but this week each team will have two challenges. The first one is the same one for every team. Figure out a team name by writing comments to each other on this post! Then, write a comment to me telling me your blog's name!
This is the list of challenges that your team will have:
Team 1: write a comment on the other person's last post and every single one they publish until January 10th
Team 2: write a post about a sport
Team 3: write a comment on every blog in the challenge by January 10th
If someone on team 3 writes a good comment on your blog (correct capitalization and punctuation), but you don't publish it for some reason, leave a comment on my blog telling me, so I make sure they get credit.
I hope you don't get eliminated in the first round!

If one person dosen't do the challenge their team will be out of the competition! The last team with all of their team members still left in the competition will be the winner. The challenges will either be leaving a comment on a certain blog or writing a post with a topic I give you. All you need to have to sign up is a blog!
Here is how to sign up:
Leave a comment on this post with the following information by December 20th:
First Name

Request of someone else who you want on your team (Optional)
Important message:
There is no prize for winning. It is just to get more people to know about your blog and to get more comments! Also, it's fun!
