Telemachus Prediction Game 2016-17: (Prediction-) Game Over!! See You in a New Thread Next Season
- Thread starter Ron
- Start date
Well, we're officially THE bottom dweller of the league... 
This was as gimme as it gets.
We out-sucked the Nets on our own (shiney) ground, to make it clear that the current #Kangz are the new suckiest-team-crown holder.
Summary:
Daily
Four of us saw that L coming, and scored well: @Glenn (56), @bubulina (54), @Tetsujin (50) and @SLAB (47).
Of the optimistic camp, @Tomcat nailed the Kings' score for 15.
This was daily win #2 for @Glenn
Season
No changes at the top.
The MIA @alonshin still holds a safe lead of almost a 100 points on @LoungeLizard and @Ron at 2nd & 3rd (a close race there).
The also-absent @KingsFanSince85 at #4 and the constantly-active @Telemachus at #5 are seriously threatened fron behind by the emerging @Tetsujin
Further below, @bubulina climbed 2 spots to 13, and @Glenn climbed 3 places to 24.

Hi everyone!
The league's scheduler has fixed us a 4-day inexplicable mid-season break.
Our next loss game is on Sunday, March 5th...
Which means that you have 4 whole days to figure out how to best predict this one.
It also means that the Kings have 4 whole days to figure out how to best play this one...
but somehow I favor YOUR chances to find a winning strategy...
And it's NOT because any of you is a better strategist than Joerger. He would have out-foxed us all in a fair game, but it's like he is forced to play chess (The game of Kings...) with nothing but his pawns...
So, you have until Sunday (But it's an early afternoon game, so don't get too careless in your procrastination)

Predictions are ON for Kings game #62:
At G1C vs the Jazz, Sunday, 3/5, 3PM

Kings 99
Jazz 98
Ron - Looks like alonshin is back checking the board. You need to work your magic with your countryman and get him to participate again.

Since Casspi is not on ANY team's roster anymore (at least temporarily), having been waived from the Pels after his thumb injury, I guess we, Israelis, have no team to be patriotically attached to...
I also saw @alonshin's activity. Perhaps now he will also resume his prediction posting.
BTW, I DO hope that Omri is picked by a good team, before or after this season is over. I honestly, unbiasly, think he deserves it (bball-wise).
OK,
These are definitely still the #Kangz!
...Which means they will make you proud when you least expect it. And tonight they have. At least for me.
(Sadly, it also means they will make you ashamed when you least expect it, like in the last game vs the Nets...
Well, at least it's never dull)
Summary:
Daily
Turnout was small tonight (11 is tied for all-time low, with 3 previous games).
Of the ones showing up, 9 predicted the L, but no-one thought it would be that tight!
Actually, @VF21 saw this being close, but it was only good for 12 points, as she got the winning side wrong, and was way off the team scores... Has it not been for the OT, she would have scored about 30, and had WCS made both FTs at the end of regulation she would have had a record breakng 90...
BUT, as it was, the pack was headed by the Triple-T of @Tomcat (56), @Tetsujin (55) and @Telemachus (50), joind by @bubulina (50. tied), all of whom nailed the Jazz' score, or were off by 1 point.
It was the 4th daily win for @Tomcat this season.
Season
Two shifts near the top of the chart:
1. @Ron (AKA moi) took advantage of the rare absence of @LoungeLizard to capture the 2nd place. He (I) also came within less than 50 points of the 1st place, behind the seemingly permanently (?) absent overall leader, @alonshin.
2. Both @Telemachus and @Tetsujin passed the inactive @KingsFanSince85, pushing him back to 6th place and landing at 4th & 5th. Still, @Telemachus stayed 5th, as @Tetsujin topped him by a hair-thin thread to capture the 4th place.
Further below, @Tomcat climbed 1 place to enter the top-10.
