A W at last!!!

Summary:


Daily:

10 of 14 participants tonight predicted a Kings win and were rewarded with nice grades.

A monster prediction by @chief bromden !
The Chief predicted a 108-104 Kings' win (actual result 109-104!) and got a shining 85.
@alonshin and @Tetsujin both also predicted the same margin of 4 as the chief did,
but they were further off mark in the teams' scores, and notched 70 and 63, respectively.

Of the 4 who predicted a L, @peacelate managed to nail the Pistons score, and got a 16pt consolation grade...

This was the 5th daily win for @chief bromden (tied with @alonshin for 2nd most, behind @LoungeLizard with 7)

Daily winners:


Season:

Still no place shifts at the top tonight, but @alonshin at 1st place has laid a triple-digit-wide gap between himself and @KingsFanSince85 at 2nd.
@Telemachus at 3rd, on the other hand, closed-in on @KingsFanSince85 and is now breathing down his/her neck...

The small changes in ranking further down the food chain (@Ron, @SLAB, @VF21, @bubulina and @peacelate) can be seen in the leaderboard below.

Ws are better than Ls...

The Cavs are next, and they're peed-off aftar losing to the Pels tonight (they never even had the lead, I believe, and they trailed by as much as 20pts... )

Those same Cavs are on a 2-game losing streak (and 2-5 in the last 7!!),
and we #Kangz are known for our streak-ending talents (It would really be interesting to count how many times we broke an opponent streak this season ).

So... A fan has gotta do
what a fan has gotta do!

Cast predictions ASAP
so you don't miss out!

Predictions are ON for Kings game #46:
