New Era Prediction Game 2017-18: Game Over!! See You in a New Thread Next Season

Did we lose some posts and predictions in this thread? I swear there was a post from Ron a few hours before game tonight calling out those of us who usually make game predictions and hadn’t yet. I then made a prediction for the game tonight but I don’t see either of those posts?
 
Hi all!
I'm taking this one as my bad...
I posted a reminder in the thread on Kings RAP, as I do pretty often, but unlike my usual drill - I didn't add a link to this thread in my post...
That's probably why @LoungeLizard thought he/she was posting in the prediction thread...
I say we make an exception and allow it.

The prediction was:
Kings 95
Wizards 108
 
Hi again!

It ended up Kings 92, Wiz 110

10 of 14 saw this coming.
@eMBarkat10n got a bullseye on the point difference (and not far off the mark on both scores) to tully 74 points!

Congrats on your 1st win!

Season Leaderboard

No change of places in the top 5, but @Russell Pimphustler keeps getting ever so close to the leader, @New Era, and @LoungeLizard (and also @Capt. Factorial & @206Fan a little farther down) is closing on @Ron in 3rd place.

Surges DID occur, as tonight's winner, @eMBarkat10n, jumped 7 places upwards, to reach 18th.

Thanks Ron
 
I hate games like these, because I can never figure out which way it's gonna go at the end of the day...

With that being said...

(Not So) Hot-Lanta 104
Kings 100
 
A whole new level of OUCH...
:oops:

We had quite an unprecedented thing tonight:
Every single one of us - KFs - got...
either a big 0 (8 of us)
or exactly 40 points (4 of us),
because no prediction came even close
to either teams' score (It ended 126 - 80).

So it's a quadruple-tie for daily winner
(if you can call it that, which I can't)
between @Ron, @LoungeLizard, @Capt. Factorial and @eMBarkat10n,
with everyone else scoring gurnisht...

Leaderboard

The only change tonight was @eMBarkat10n moving up 2 spots in the leaderboard...

Oh, and after the leaders missed this one, "the Flatliner" is officially Numero Uno!... :confused:
(@R2D2 would find that interesting)

Another broken record tonight:
Average predicted point-diff was +1.5 ...
We ended up losing by a massive -46 ... :(

That 47.5-point miss makes it the
LARGEST MIS-PREDICTION, by far,
since we started the prediction game
(14 months & 96 game-nights ago,
including the full 2016-17 season!)

The previous largest miss in predicting
the margin in a game was -36.4,
back in game 28 last season (vs Mavs),
when we averaged a landslide win
prediction of +16.4, yet we lost by 20.

BTW, largest POSITIVE misprediction
we ever recorded was +24.7
(1st game after "the trade" last year, vs
DEN. We predicted -8.7 & won by +16).

Biggest positive misprediction THIS YEAR
was +16 (OKC. We predicted -8 & won +8)
