Daily Results

That first line of the post (A W at last!) had more than one meaning for me...
At last, after 21 prediction tries, yours truly (@Ron) has also made a daily win! :D
(nailing the Mavs 89pt score).
@bubulina came very close at 2nd, @Telemachus was 3rd and @km23 4th,
and 13 of us scored over 40.

Here's the table of daily winners so far:

@VF21 ........................... 2

The Overall Leaderboard

In the lead, I'm getting concerned with the long silence from the leader, @gil renard,
who missed last 3 predictions, after being as consistent as they come... :confused:.
He's still the leader, but he's holding by a 4pt thread now!!

The former 3rd place, @lwc, was also MIA tonight, giving way to a shift at the top -
as @alonshin took his bronze podium stand, also by a hair margin (over @Telemachus).

... SIGH...

A summary of tonight prediction results:

Daily results

WELL, THAT'S A FIRST!...
We were all so high on the payback theme (and perhaps hyped by the alleged no-Rose effect),
that absolutely NO-ONE predicted the Kings would lose this one!
(Not even @Russell Pimphustler, who's let it be known that he adopted the strategy of predicting Kings' Losses...o_O)
The relatively low score was also something that most of us didn't see coming.

Hence, none of us KFs has seen anyting more than a meager 15pt score on this one! :eek:
the winner of the night is @Suicide King (1st-time daily leader! Congrats!),
who got there by nailing the Knicks' score, with @chief bromden & @Tetsujin not far behind,
both narrowly missing that Knicks' score, and picking some points for predicting a closer game...

Table of daily winners so far:

Season-long Race

Still no changes at the top!!
The ridiculously low scores of the night had left the absent & shaky leader, @gil renard, still hanging in there with a 3pt lead over @km23
(Hey! It's a one-possession game now, @km23! I do hope you can shoot 3s better than some of our guys did tonight... ;))
and a 23pt lead over @alonshin.
(Further down, @Telemachus changed places with the also-absent @lwc in 4th and 5th.

Last night took the wind out my sails... for real...

And tonight we're on again... Not even 20 hours to recover... Bummer!

Kings need this one badly!
I need this one badly!
Be it on the road, on the 2nd night of a B2B... Gotta win this!

It's not impossible. This team has already done it! Look up January 14, 2016.
That's when we beat the Jazz, on the road, on the 2nd night of a B2B!

A fun stat, BTW:
In the last 2 games between the teams COMBINED,
Demarcus Cousins scored 67 points (in 73:58 minutes)
and Rudy Gobert scored... 2 points! (in 52:00 minutes)
So let's put it all behind us.
You know: A fan has got to do...
