Dang it!! Missed predicting another game. :mad: At least I can console myself with the fact I most likely wouldn't have garnered any points regardless.

Hrm. Second night of a B2B and facing the Raptors in Toronto. Yeah, we are so doomed. So of course my prediction will reflect that:

Kings 117
Raptors 115

GO KINGS!!

;)
 
Nets game:

Talk about a tough loss...
(Well, it was the last Q that hurt, really)

Three notable things in our prediction game:
1. @rosa u podne missed a prediction ight for the first time this season.
2. We were so much off in our predictions, that 3rd place scored... 1 point,
(All except the top 3 scored 0!)
3. No one - not even the 3 leaders - scored ANYTHING for proximity to the margin.

King of January

@LoungeLizard was not only the night's King,
but took many other throwns at once,
Including the leader of the month.

Leader Board

For the first time in 12 rounds we have a shift in ranking!
And it's a shift at the very top -
A NEW LEADER - @LoungeLizard !!

Raptors game

Not a surprising outcome.
And a good Kings' game all-in-all.
Still - a second straight L on this road trip.

This was only the 5th time all season that we had more L-predictions than W-predictions!
(It's only the second time, if we disregard the first 3 games of the season, when we were still all pessimists!)

Two great predictions:
@bubulina nailed Kings' score and only missed the Raptors' by two, to get 73,
but @chief bromden nailed the exact margin and scored 76.

Among the incorrect predictors, @El Paljasso nailed the Raptors' score and took 15.

Here's a song that works for me:

"If you love somebody enough
You'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis...
