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

Celtics 106
Kings 92

(Last season I bet against the Kings on one occasion and, as a loyal fan, hated myself for doing so. And I said I would never do that again. However, times have changed and I hope favoring the opponent now will bring us some luck!). Go Kings!!!
 
It ain't easy...

Tonight's Summary:

on his way to the3rd place.

Now let the Kings get the rest they need (and deserve? Perhaps)
before we play in Detroit in 3 days.
 
And I missed a game!!! Lol, not to happen again! I figure Kings go 0-3 on this trip with some SERIOUS soul searching for their return home.

Detroit 111
Kings 97

And yes, thanks Ron!! Been very enjoyable now that I have my log in back! Now to change my user name to something more gentlemanly like my everyday persona....

Ron - You deserve a medal for doing this. :)

I'm bowing out of this game, at least for now. I cannot in good conscience ever root against my Kings and let's be honest. They just aren't gonna win many games. Just wanted you to know why I am choosing to no longer participate. :)

I hear ya but my take on it is I pretty much predict they will lose every game. If I’m wrong then I’m really happy because they won but if they lose (like they normally do) then at least I get a consolation prize. Win win!
 
Game 9 -

Our hosts, the Detroit Pistons, are pretty much on fire!
They defeated both the Warriors & the Clippers...

So why do I feel like a surprise W is coming up?
Perhaps it's the fact that our opponents are playing back-to-back, while we are ptetty well rested, but mostly - it's because I feel that our younglings are fed-up with losing. They will fight their ***s off to get a W this time.

Am I dellirious?

Think you know better?

Well, I was wrong...
We're still on that streak.
(But that was the end of that road trip)

Tonight it was @New Era and @alonshin who were on fire!

Both nailed the Kings' score on the money,
with @New Era setting a season record in daily prediction points (85), missing Pistons' score by 1 point,
and @alonshin getting 73, missing opponent's score by 2...
BTW, "The Flatliner" did even better (82), missing each team's score by 2, but nailing the point margin!
