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

Surprisingly, the Bucks are only a 1.5 point favorite at home. Maybe Vegas knows something we don't.

Kings 103
Bucks 100
 
A VERY deep hole now... (especially without our #2 and #3 options)

Tonight's summary (only 2 of us predicted a L):

Last & hardest game on this road trip...
And on a 2nd night of a Back-to-Back. :(
Can we surprise ourselves and shock everyone else? (i.e. win when it's least likely)

Time to predict the results of game 8:
On the road vs the Raptors, Sunday 11/6, 3:00PM

Note that it's an early afternoon game!

3. You get up to 15 pts for predicting the total score of each of the teams (30 pts for both teams together)

Seems like this would be the most obvious L of the roadtrip, so that means we'll probably win lol. I'm still gonna play it safe and call a loss here.

Raptors 105
Kings 96
 

SLAB

Hall of Famer
I'm breaking the streak. I've gone Kings win all road trip, and that hasn't quite worked out. Prove me wrong boys.

Kings 91
Raptors 108
 
Well, that was a shock... :D

"Only" 5 of us predicted a W, and most of them scored in the 60's.

4 or 5 of us changed their colors after a long stretch and predicted a Loss (some, for the 1st time) only to be proved wrong, AGAIN... :)
(I guess they're happy with that anyway)

2 of us mis-predicted the winner but nailed the Kings' score exactly.

The overall leaderboard changed slightly, but not at #1

Good game, everyone!

Back home at last, after a tough W (at last)!

The good (yet dangerous) news is we are facing an opponent that's still looking for the first W of the season.
The Pelicans are not likely to change that tonight, against the Warriors, so tomorrow they will be coming with a yet heavier burdon upon their showlders (& tired showlders, for that matter, from playing b2b).

So odds are somewhat in our favor, which doesn't bode well... ;)

Time to predict the results of game 9:
At Golden-1 vs the Pelicans, Tuesday 11/8, 7:30PM

Vegas has us as 6 point favorites. Not sure how I feel about this one yet. Pelicans are winless, beat up, and playing on a road B2B, but this Kings team is showing some of the same mental problems as previous years teams, so I could see them giving this one up. Gonna put my prediction in tomorrow.
