[VF21]

I may have been a tad too conservative in my prediction.

 

[Ron]

I love this team!
The way the kids stuck in there even after the Thunder came back and took the lead (briefly)...

Most of us (10 of 11) predicted a W against a top-tier team (well, top-tierish... OK?)
Are we getting smug here?

Only poor old @chief bromden sacrificed his own score for a counter-jinx L-prediction.

Pretty great predictions for many of us!

@LoungeLizard had 76, and @burekijogurt 70.
It was the first time that @burekijogurt scored in the 70s, and the 3rd time for @LoungeLizard.

Behind them were @Capt. Factorial (65) and @Telemachus (63).
2nd 60+ score for the Captain, 3rd one for the son of Odysseus.




King of the Night

4th time nightly leader for @LoungeLizard!
More than anyone else!




King of November

@LoungeLizard is the leader here as well...




Leader-board

No change at the top-3.

And what a pair of predictions!

@rosa u podne predicted 118-110! (It ended 119-110 ) and got 85.
@El Paljasso nailed the 9-point difference, with just 2 points off on both teams' scores and got 82.

Also: @VF21, @bubulina and @Tetsujin scored in the 60s.

Summary:




King of the Night:

First King of the Night title for @rosa u podne! Congrats!




King of November:

@rosa u podne took the lead in this one too!




Leader-board:

AND THE OVERALL LEAD TOO!

Sure is your night, @rosa u podne!

Honorable mention: @origkds jumped 6 places to 15th.

[Tetsujin]

KANGZ 132
Warriors 129

 

[LoungeLizard]

Jazz 116
Kings 108

Shame on me for doubting.

 

[VF21]

Kings 127
Warriors 122

 

[Kangztillidie]

It seems like if I dont predict, we win. If I do predict, its .500.

I might have to sit out the rest of the season so we have a chance at the Warriors record....

 

[Ron]

Another road game coming...

The (mighty?) Warriors are hosting us, but:

GSW is boasting... a 4-game-LOSING-streak!
(Only Atlanta has a longer active losing streak)
Kings are on... a 2-game-WINNING- streak!
(Only 5 NBA teams, of which only 2 from WC, have a longer active winning streak)

GSW are 4-6 in the last 10 games (negative!!)
Kings are 5-5 in the last 10 games (tied)

The Kings and the Warriors have the same record against
Western Conference teams this season - 6-6

Think you know how it's gonna end?


A fan's gotta do what a fan's gotta do:

Prediction is on for Kings game #19
@ the Warriors, Saturday, Nov.24 5:30PM

Don't shy off, @bubulina, @Capt. Factorial, @ppine, @kingsfan1984, @burekijogurt, @Cojc, @El Paljasso, @SLAB, @chief bromden, @Camino, @LoungeLizard, @whozit, @Tomcat, @rosa u podne, @SacTownKid, @lwc, @Telemachus, @km23, @The Hammer and @origkds.

Don't be superstitious @Kangztillidie

Predictions acknowledged, @Tetsujin and @VF21

Thanks Ron. The best part is, however, it happened on the night Kings won on the road against old but respected rival from the time the glory team was on the rise
