Telemachus Prediction Game 2016-17: (Prediction-) Game Over!! See You in a New Thread Next Season

[Ron]

Admit it, we are DOOMED in the next game.
Might as well not show-up at all, as we have ZERO chances:

• We face the Sixers
• We're playing at Home, at last
• We have a rare 3-day rest

#Kangz!
See what I mean?? DOOMED!


Think you know better?

Blast. I can't believe I didn't post my prediction.

Yes, I noticed... (mentioned it in the night's results, above...)

Do it right now for the Phily game, so you don't miss out again!
You only have 3 days!

I'm holding you personally responsible. You didn't make a "last call" post.

4th in a row!!

We survived this one, and so did our streak.
We currently hold the LONGEST WINNING STREAK IN THE NBA!
(Tied with the Raptors)

And in our small prediction swamp:
Please welcome 2 new predictors who joined-in last night: @Chupacabra & @King Baller.
They're already making ground, and I predict they may still catch up with the leaders!

They already are! What a debut for @Chupacabra!

The summary:


Daily:

Good attendance tonight (19 with 2 new members)!

All but 2 of us predicted a W and scored high.

@Chupacabra's landslide win tonight is not the best debut we had
(That's reserved to @kingjatt with 85 points in game 9)
but it's the 2nd best ever!

@Tomcat and @VF21 came 2nd and 3rd, with the latter nailing the Sixers score.

Daily Winners this season:


Season Race:

The top of the leaderboard hasn't changed, as the 3 leaders all faired well.
The leader, @km23, scored the absolute minimum for a right W/L call (40),
allowing his persuers, @Telemachus and @alonshin, to narrow the gap
(which only the latter managed to do).

Tight races keep going on behind the leaders, in places 4th & 5th,
where @Ron (Moi) & @Tetsujin are separated by mere 4 points,
and in places 6th & 7th, where @LoungeLizard and @CVKingsfan
are divided by only 5 points.

The two newbies made their mark and entered the board straight into
#25 (@Chupacabra) and #31 (@King Baller) places, from 38 participants overall.

Back on the road, and into some tough direct competition (for 8th spot)...

You still have time, but why procrastinate?
A fan's gotta do what a fan's gotta do, right?
