New Era Prediction Game 2017-18: Game Over!! See You in a New Thread Next Season

Yesssss!!

Only 5 bold KFs dared to predict a W against the OKC super-team.
They were all rewarded nicely, but
the great winner of the night was still weirdly enough named... Russell!
@Russell Pimphustler predicted a 7pt Kings' W, and got 60 points.

Also worth noting:
@El Paljasso had his/her 1st correct prediction of the season!
(They always predict a Kings' win, and sadly - the only time they were
absent from prediction this year was on the game 2 W over the Mavs)

Of the 11 losing predictions, @Spike did best, nailing the Kings' score to get 15.

Summary:

Overall:

In the overall race, @Russell Pimphustler is still 2nd,
but he made a helluva run to catch the leader, @New Era
@Ron (yours untruely) recuptured a podium spot,
unseating @LoungeLizard and @Capt. Factorial who held it in a tie.
@origkds and @El Paljasso both climbed 4 spots, and @Tetsujin climbed 3.


Interesting to see how "The flatliner" is still killing it,
and is so far worth 2nd place overall.

Game 11 -

One super-team down, one to go...

Well, perhaps you can't really call Poor-trust-the-process-Philly a super-team... :rolleyes:
but they ARE looking solid.
Besides, boasting Embiid, Simmons, Fultz &... Sauce Castillo in one team?? :eek:
I mean...


Think you know how it will end?

A fan's got to do what a fan's got to do...

Time to predict the results of game #11:
At G1C vs. the 76ers, Tuesday 11/9, 7pm


Scoring System:

A short reminder of the scoring system:
You can total as much as 100 points for one prediction:
1. You get 40 pts for predicting the winner.
2. You get up to 30 pts for predicting the point difference of the game (directional difference! +10 is not the same as -10!)
3. You get up to 15 pts for predicting the total score of each of the teams (30 pts for both teams together)
Here's a chart to sum it all up: View attachment 5791


Prediction Rules:
  • Predictions are for the FINAL SCORE (official game result)
  • Predictions must be made ON THIS PREDICTION THREAD.
  • Predictions must be made IN ADVANCE (before the game's tip-off).
It's not too late to join...
Just enter your prediction for the final score of the game.


Predictors so far:
 
This "game" seems like it's a lot of fun! I don't wanna jump in after the season has started, so I will hold off until next year......:)
No, you shouldn't hold off!

Based on last year's experience, you can still win the season easily if you start now. :cool:
Besides, we also have monthly winners and other honorable mentions...

So, by all means - let's hear your prediction for tonight's (Philly) game!

I, obviously, missed tonight's game. However, I will seriously consider your offer prior to our next win :)
 
A streak it is!

Actual game result:
Kings 109
Sixers 108

Eight of us believed it would be, and faired better in the scores.
Four others were sceptics...

@New Era predicted the 1-point W and scored 70.
@El Paljasso missed the margin by 1 and got 60.
On the mistaken side, @alonshin nailed the Sixers' score (and was close overall) to reach 17 tonight.

Summary

placing him/her at the top of the charts:

Full season leaderboard

No changes at the top 5, but the leader, @New Era,
has significantly broadenned the gap from 2nd place.
(...and from "The Flatliner", who's score is now worth 3rd place only).

@El Paljasso recorded the biggest surge (4 spots)
and @206Fan had the steepest dive (3 spots).

Monthly race

@Russell Pimphustler barely held to his lead over @New Era in November.
*The Flatliner is losing grounds as we gain wins...

The Game Thread Dude
Knicks are winning on the back of a supercharged Zinger. Can Willie and Kosta repeat their defensive effort in Madison Square? I think so.

Kings 98
Knicks 96
