I'm sorry, Ron, but ESPN keeps on changing the point spread of this game on me, lol. I will have to post my FINAL prediction shortly before the game tonight (which I will make sure I get in prior to tip-off).

NOTE: At the time of the 112-111 prediction, we were favored by a point. Now, all of a sudden, the Fake Show are now favored by 1.5 points. Life's way too darn complicated for me sometimes, lol!!!!

Ok...here's my FINAL prediction...

Not Us 112
Us 110

 

[Telemachus]

Kings: 113
Lakers: 105

 

[Ron]

Tip-off.

We have a positive ratio of W/L predictors tonight (8 to 3), after sporting a negative balance for the last 5 games.
(We have the LALs to thank for tonight ).

Season history shows that when we tipped the scales in favour of the Kings (19 times this season), we were...

• correct in 6 cases
• Incorrect in 13 cases

(Note that in the last 30 Kings games we were W-inclined in our predictions in 7 games, but we turned out to be correct in only 1 of them!)

 

[Ron]

...The prediction trending towards a Kings W failed us yet again...
Only once in the last 32 games did we actually get a W when the majority of us predicted one... (8 cases)
Usually our wins came just when most of us didn't expect them.

Tonight

Only 3 of us predicted the L and got good scores to show for it.

@eMBarkat10n led the pack with 63 points.
@New Era and @Capt. Factorial were even in 2nd place with 56.

@Telemachus' streak of correct predictions was severed at 6.
@New Era and @eMBarkat10n share the new longest live streak, with straight 3 correct predictions each.

No @New Era prediction tonight?

Perfect time for me to put the monthly race on ice...

 

[eMBarkat10n]

I'm getting my preliminary prediction in for tomorrow's game (@Portland)...It might change prior to tip-off...

[Ron]

Don't forget! Another game tonight! (a B2B)
Hurry-up and submit predictions!

9 of 12 KFs predicted the L
(All but the "usual suspects" )

But no one came close to the margin like yours-truly (@Ron ) who missed it by only 1 point and won the night with 61 points.
@BeerNerd916 (49), and a duo of @Telemachus and @chief bromden (46) took 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Wait, so did the Wolves sneak on our flight, wait until the plane landed in Portland, hold our guys hostage, steal our identity, and head off with the intentions of playing the Blazers tonight??? Might not be a bad thing, honestly...The "Kings" might look like a coherent basketball team for once
