Back to the "crime" scene!
That previous home game vs the Nuggets (1st PTSD* game) was a glorious night.
It led many of us to build our hopes for the new era, and made some of us declare they were idiots, fools and jesters, rather than Kings (looking at you, @The Hammer) or admit they were wrong (looking at you, @VF21)...
It was also our last W of this season so far...
(Unless you count the one robbed by officiating vs the Jazz, which frankly I do...)
So... back to the "crime" scene...
Same opponent. Same place...
Care to try and predict it?
Predictions are ON for Kings game #66:
At G1C vs the Nuggets, Saturday 3/11, 7:30pm
Another incentive -
One of tonight's prediction posts will be the 1,000TH PREDICTION for the season!
The KF to mark that milestone shall be immortalized in KF Forum history (or not...)

Actually, you did great.
I looked now, and it seems that you changed your prediction yesterday from the innitial 104-110 (that's what I registeted anyway) to a much better prediction of 102-110!! Edit: 102-112
That means my daily scores were incorrect, and you are the sole winner of the night!
I will change the scores ASAP.
Edit:
Sorry for confusing you (and building hopes...) -
I read it incorrectly. Your updated prediction did NOT nail the exact margin. It wasn't closer to the actual margin, either... It lended you the same score that you previously had.
Hence, the results as posted earlier are right and accurate as they are.

I didn't change after the game started. I wouldn't do that. I suspect you can figure that out anyway. I know you weren't accusing me but I wanted to be clear to anyone else who might misjudge my ethics. I'm just damn good.
Actually I changed it twice. My first change was 102 116. I thought a 14 point loss at home was a bit much so went to 102-112.. I don't even know the rules. Maybe I shouldn't screw it up by knowing.

It is just my bad:
Once I put down each of your predictions in my spreadsheet (usually quite early after they are posted), I seldom look back to those older parts of the thread, to see if anyone changed their mind later, before tip-off.
Let's all make it a practice (just to help me avoid mistakes): If you change your innitial predictions - try to give me a heads-up to let me know you did.
No worries! You changed it on time.

Qualification:

Note!
This time I really lowered the qualifying threshold (6 games!) which makes the average data quite skewed: It gives a significant advantage to anyone who didn't predict early in the season and only started recently (like @Glenn and @New Era ), because, let's face it, that last stretch of Kings' season was more predictable...
Still, here it is:

This losing streak is getting heavy...
(I know we're probably improving our picks and all that,
but 8 in a row?... of which 6 at home?... & 1 to the Nets?)
Predictions Summary:
Daily
We had 12 participants tonight, which is not bad
(13 was the most we had since "the trade", and those 13 were actually
from game 1 post-trade, with some predictions made before the ASB)
9 of us got the winning side right (quite easy now),
but no-one was REALLY close.
@New Era was only 1 point off on the Nuggets' score
and won with 51.
@SLAB came closer than anyone to the margin (16 ~ 13)
and was 2nd with 47.
@LoungeLizard was somewhat close in all parameters
and scored 45 in 3rd.
The rest of the field were very close behind (44s and 43s).
Even among the ever-optimistic Kings' W predictors
there were two in double-digits (@origkds & @VF21)
for only missing the Nuggets score by one point.
This was @New Era 's 2nd daily win this season.
Daily Winners:
Season
That was definitely @Telemachus ' night!
Besides all the fireworks for posting the 1,000 prediction,
the man took 3rd place overall last night
(from the absent @alonshin).
More shifts:
@bubulina passed @origkds to take 11th spot.
@Glenn jumped over @gunks to take #21.
The current leaderboard with all shifts and ranks
can be seen below.
