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

Another (predictable) L...

Sumnary:
20170320_071532.png

11 KFs posted predictions tonight, with one rare (and successfull) 1st-timer: @jpsls is our 47th player this year.
Welcome aboard!

Two of the predictors - @Telemachus and @SLAB - posted identical predictions (97-114), and they sure knew something the rest of us didn't! :D
They were only 1 point off the actual margin, and pretty close to both teams' scores, and got a nice 65.

@King Baller, in 3rd, had a personal milestone tonight: He posted his FIRST EVER L-PREDICTION after sticking to W-predictions only in the past. He was rewarded by 62 points, as he also missed the margin by only 1 point.

@Glenn and the "rookie" @jpsls were 2 points off in predicting the margin and scored 55 and 53 respectively.

Of the 3 who predicted a Kings win, @origkds nailed the Kings score and got 15 points.

This was daily win nunber 5 for both @Telemachus and @SLAB.

Streaks

@Glenn is the new record holder for the longest streak
of predicting the correct winning side (Kings/Opponent)!
His streak is now at 11 straight games!
(Since the L to the T-Wolves on February 27)

Note:
@bubulina also hasn't made any incorrect predictions
during that period of time, and @SLAB's mistake-free period
goes back even further, to the Hornets game (L) on Feb. 25 (!)
but each of them went missing on 2 game nights in this span
and severed their streak in the middle...

The 2nd longest streak - 9 games long - is also active, and it belongs to the game leader, @Telemachus.

The previous record belonged to @alonshin - 8 consecutive games.

Games predicted

70 straight predictions attempted:
@Telemachus is the one and only player of the 47 predictors who never missed predicting even a single game this season.
(Even I, who's running the game, forgot to post one night)

@VF21 has also never missed a single prediction since the day that she's started, but she joined the game on the 4th game, and so she's at 67 straight predictions attempted.

Hall of Famer
I like seeing my name. My grand daughter doesn't even know it. The fact is that I started this game at an easy time and if I had to make guesses the entire season, I wouldn't be doing as well. I'd probably be just a tad better than Telemachus, though. :mad:

And she has never predicted anything but a Kings win (and never will). :)

Kings 104
Bucks 97
 
Well, our greeks were was no match to theirs... :(

Summary:
20170323_082932.png

Only 3 of us (of 8) predicted this L, and none of them was very close to the actual large score margin (18)...

@New Era led the trio with 47, for his 3rd daily win of the season, and the power-dou of @Glenn & @Telemachus (46 & 44 respectively) kept going in their aggressive March charge.
(They had their 12th & 10th consecutive correct prediction, respectively, and they lead the monthly race by a mile)

Daily winners this season:
20170323_083024.png

Some of us went slip-sliding in the monthly race, like @SLAB who took a leave of absence, and @bubulina, @Ron, @LoungeLizard, @origkds and @VF21 all of whom scored zeros or close to that...

March Monthly Leaderboard:
20170323_083137.png

For the first time this season (I think) - the season leaderboard had absolute 0 shifts, but @Telemachus has widenned his lead over @Ron to almost a full century.

And now, we're heading to the toughest game on our schedule (Warriors on the road)...

If THAT doesn't spell a #Kangz W then I don't know what DOES... :D

If you know it, you should call it.
