You're holding your ground alone so long, my mate...

Just this once, please accept my vote of confidence.
I INSIST on joining you for a bubulina-prediction.

Together we will score the first ever FULL 100 in our game!
(What are the odds, huh?)

Kings 111
Grizzlies 99

Edit:
If you feel that I'm invading your space here, with this co-prediction
I will pay my tribute to your determination in a proximity-prediction
(like Kings 110 - Opponents 98, for instance)
Please let me know

Challenge accepted. I'm few days late but who cares... Furthermore, after hearing Rudy, I really wish we will win this one..

A predictable L...

And predict it we did.
9 of us predicted it, with a TRIO at the top:
@LoungeLizard, @Capt. Factorial and @Telemachus all scored a full 60.




Daily

It was @LoungeLizard's 10th, @Telemachus' 7th and @Capt. Factorial's 5th daily win this season.




Monthly

Going into the last game, April is not won yet!




Season Leaderboard

No changes in ranking, except @burekijogurt, who climbed to #21, over @km23.

Just one last game to go, before we crown the season winner of our prediction game.

One last game, and the leader - @Ron - is still 5 small points behind the intollerable "FlatLiner" (a constant strategic test-prediction of a 97-106 loss, running against us human predictors, as suggested by @R2D2)

You get it?
That "theoretic crap" predictor is beating us all by sheer consistency in attendance and one well-aimed L-prediction.
We just have to beat and discredit that ****er!

BTW, the next in rank - @New Era - is only 31 points behind @Ron and 36 point behind the FlatLiner.




Points Per Prediction





Streaks

Longest Season Streak Correctly Predicting Winner......14 - @New Era in games 53-68 (absent in 2 of them)
Longest Active Streak Correctly Predicting Winner...........6 - @Ron
Longest Streak Incorrectly Mispredicting Winner..............8 - @El Paljasso in the first 9 games (absent once)
Longest Active Streak Incorrectly Mispredicting Winner...1 - @VF21, @origkds and @bubulina

VERY LAST GAME of the season,
vs the
VERY BEST TEAM of the season
at the
VERY BEST ARENA in the nba

Scoring System:

A short reminder of the scoring system:
You can total as much as 100 points for one prediction:
1. You get 40 pts for predicting the winner.
2. You get up to 30 pts for predicting the point difference of the game (directional difference! +10 is not the same as -10!)
3. You get up to 15 pts for predicting the final score of each of the teams (30 pts for both teams together)
Here's a chart to sum it all up: View attachment 5791


Prediction Rules:

• Predictions are for the FINAL SCORE (official game result)
• Predictions must be made ON THIS PREDICTION THREAD.
• Predictions must be made IN ADVANCE (before the game's tip-off).

Well, since the Rockets will most likely be putting a team consisting of towel boys, random Houston fans and maybe a retired astronaut or two on the court I'm gonna go big:

Hey, where are you,​

@LoungeLizard, @CVKingsfan, @New Era, @Capt. Factorial, @BeerNerd916, @Telemachus, @eMBarkat10n, @YoungBlood66?​

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Hey, where are you, @Capt. Factorial,​

Well, I was kinda thinking that since last year I only predicted the last game of the season, maybe this year I should skip only the last game...but maybe I'll put up a score yet...

Thanks for the game Ron!! Appreciate your hard work

Last game....it’s been a good run everyone. Thanks again to @Ron for running this game and keeping everyone motivated. I look forward to the year that we will all be predicting W’s more than L’s and getting points for it.
