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

[Glenn]

Monthly Race

We have a new leader!
@[SIZE=6][B]Glenn[/B][/SIZE] took the first place again for March, over @[SIZE=1][B]Telemachus[/B][/SIZE].
The race is very tight between those 2 leaders (13 points apart), and both of them have already scored more points in March than anyone has ever scored before in one month
(and we are still 2 games shy of month's end!)

@New Era, @bubulina and @SLAB are the only ones who could still upset the monthly leaders theoretically in those last 2 games.

Normally I am not one to rub it in but I figure I better take the shot when I'm open. I'm not sure I can tolerate the excitement.

A 30-point blowout L...

Summary:


7 predictors saw the L coming, but none of them predicted anything close to that large (30pts) margin. (No points for margin prediction were given tonight. To anyone!)

@bubulina was only 1pt off about Jazz score, and got 50, to claim a 5th daily win.

@Ron was 2pts off on Kings score and got 46

The rest (@Telemachus, @SLAB, @LoungeLizard, @New Era, @Glenn) all got bare 40's for the L prediction, to share 3rd place

Not even I, the ultimate optimist, can predict a win for the Kings in New Orleans. We're gonna get demolished.

Well, that was expected, right?

Summary:


Lowest participation ever (7 KFs).

Night

6 of those 7 correctly predicted the L, including an unbelievable L-prediction from @VF21, that left @origkds as the only one of all 47 players who posted only Kings W preditions.

@LoungeLizard came 1 point away from the exact NOP score and marked his impressive 10th (!!!) win of the season.

I'm waiting for a comment from Telemachus as not only did I catch this wunderkind in March, I passed him going away. I didn't even resort to any dirty tricks as Ron can attest.
