Summary:
20170126_072125.png

Daily

7 of 15 predicted a W. (That rhymes!)
(Everything rhymes on a night like this... :D)

A great prediction for @origkds! Nailed the 4pt margin (114-110 with actual result 116-112) and got 82!
@King Baller, @CVKingsfan and @Ron had nice predictions, with 63, 61 and 60 respectively.

Second daily win for @origkds this season.

Season

None of the leaders saw this coming
(As @Telemachus acknowledged in the grades' thread)

With all 4 leaders missing the W, that was the night of @Tetsujin, @Ron, @CVKingsfan and @VF21 to close some gaps.
The night's leader, @origkds, leaped 2 places (#15 to #13), and @King Baller made the biggest advance - from #30 to #24!

I'm beginning to LOVE road trips... :D

The Pacers are next, and they also boast a losing streak (3 games)
...that started right after they beat us in G1C a week ago...

They are exactly at the .500 mark right now (which is not so intimidating after the Cavs), and they will be playing us as the second night of a B-2-B, after playing the TimberCubs in Minnie the night before.

On the other hand... Indy is ranked 3rd in the east as a HOME team! They are 16-6 at home (!) and they only lost 2 home games in the last 2 months (since Nov 23)...

Cast your predictions ASAP
so you don't forget & miss out!

Last night was only the second time all season that we won a game when we had a majority of L votes. :cool:

The previous time was in game 8, on the road against Torronto.

(To be fair: we only HAD 4 such games this season, with a pessimistic W/L ratio, plus one tied 50:50. Ain't we an optimistic lot?... :))

Wow, I think that was my worst miss of the season.
Well, I can answer that easily...

It's certainly in there, among the worst
misses (I circled the other ones below),

And it's definitely your worst miss in a W.
(All the circled ones were W predictions that ended up being losses)

Said it before, but thanks for the effort you put into this.

One more thing:
You never had a complete 0 all season!
The only other players who can say that
(having predicted at least 3 games)
are @KingsFanSince85 and @ockingsfan
(the latter made just 8 predictions)
