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

At last! A WIN!
(In more ways than one)

We had our full 12-strong cadre of regular predictors, with no less than 3 of us scoring in the 70s!
@Telemachus was the only one who nailed the exact 6-point margin, and he scored 74, ahead of @origkds with 70,
but the winner of the night was...
yours truely, @Ron, who was only 1 point off the mark in both margin and opponents' score, and only 2 points off the mark on Kings' score, to score a total of 76 points.

The summary:

A streak??!! Well yeah... sort of.

The Kings had s winning streak only once before, in games 10 & 11 - two home games against OKC and PHI.
Still waiting for our first 3-game winning streak this season, though... :rolleyes:


Summary

Only 9 predictors tonight.
And only 2 believed this would be a W.
(One even switching there in a last-minute premonition... :D)

...So the King(fan) of the night was once again @Ron with 52 points, with @bubulina in 2nd, with 40.
(@Telemachus was close to Kings' score, but that only yielded 6, in 3rd place)

Surprisingly, it's pretty hard to call this one... :eek:

Till last week, Pop's Spurs were a solid rock bunker at home.
They only had 2 home Ls all season,
both about 2.5 months ago, back in the
very beginning of November 2017,
with one of those Ls being vs GSW.

And then...

...They lost their last two home games
(2 home Ls in a row, in the same week)
falling to IND & PHI, while reaching
an average score of 82... o_O

Go figure...
