Telemachus Prediction Game 2016-17: (Prediction-) Game Over!! See You in a New Thread Next Season
- Thread starter Ron
- Start date
Oh, well...
At least the rooks got to see some action...
Summary:
18 of us posted predictions tonight, splitting evenly between the Nay- and Yea-sayers (W & L predictors - 9 of each).
Unfortunately it was the night of the pessimists...
One of those 18 entries was a heart-warming reunion with an old friend, @lawlman91, who was one of the earliest participants in our game, successfully predicting the first two games of the season, only to have gone missing for 54 games (!) ever since that debut in late October...
Welcome back, mate!
You made your first ever prediction error, but you nailed the GSW score so you still got 15.
The leader of the night was @LoungeLizard, who predicted a 21-point loss, which was close enough for 52. @lwc, @Ron and @Telemachus were all close to the Warriors score, but a bit further off, with 50, 46 and 46, respectively.
This was daily win number 9 for the lizard!!! Almost twice as many as anyone else!
Season
We have a shift at the top!
Last night, @LoungeLizard (in 3rd) was already just 3 points behind @KingsFanSince85 (in 2nd), and his daily win helped him swap places. Congrats!
@chief bromden and @Castasic also moved up the ladder tonight.

If you leave, we will miss you ... but we will certainly understand. I had two jerseys of current Kings players. Unfortunately, after today I have none. I met Omri and his father when he first came to Sacramento. I liked them from the start and that never changed. Today has been a tough day to be a Kings fan. I lost Boogie, Omri and my respect for Vlade.
Kings 94
Nuggets 93
(Gutsy win by a depleted Kings team)

But I'm almost sure I will also start peaking into whatever-the-fanbase-of-that-ugly-bird-is-using-as-equivalent-of-KF
to see how C&C (Cuz and Casspi) are doing, and let those fools know what fell into their hands (If they don't know yet).
Fare well, Alon!
I will go on with this KingsFan lot, and with the prediction game,
at least for now, but I'm sure to follow Omri & Boogie as well.
I may come by and start a prediction game in there as well...
(Now that it's all done and proven, it's quite easy to replicate)
No last prediction for the road, as the game leader?

Wow!
Now THAT was a pleasant surprise!!
Summary:
Daily
Only 6 of 13 KFs predicted a W, and I suspect it was more of a wishfull thinking for most if them...
@King Baller led the pack by an inch with 46, with @origkds, @Tomcat and @chief bromden close behind (44), and @VF21 & @New Era next.
It was the first daily win for @King Baller. Congrats!

Season
Our overall leader, @alonshin, is apparently gone with the wind, with the birds (Pels), or actually with our mutual countryman, Omri. (He broke a thumb tonight and will be out 4-6 weeks... He is cursed, I'm telling you).
Still, none of us is anywhere near threatenning his 1st place so far, though...
There was only one shift in ranking tonight, as @New Era climbed one place to #21

Just a quick note:
I just noticed this -
My initial, early prediction for the Nuggets game, the one I corrected after "the trade"...
Well, it turned out to be THE most accurate prediction I've ever had blown here, a staggering bullseye for the 16-point-difference, and only one point removed from both teams' actual scores (115-99, instead of the 116-100).
Had I stuck with it, it would have landed me 90 points, and a leap to 2nd place overall, with a big lead...
* Actually, I can't prove that, because I edited that original post a few times later (wish I had'nt). I didn't touch the actual prediction, but still, the "last-edited" time-stamp may make it look rigged... So, you can just take my word for it, if you want.
Oh well,
Predicted or not, it was a great W last night...
