2010/2011 Season Predictions Thread

[Andrew]

10/15 on the day, for a final score of 861/1230 on the season. Spot on 70%, up from last year's third place finish (if I recall correctly).

[George7]

13/15 for the day!

704/1030 for the season(missed 200 games)

and a final percentage of 68,35% ,not bad at all

[Martti.]

12/15 for the day.
836/1230 for the season.

67.97%, not too happy, but glad I won the battle with Dan's Brain.
Last year - 828/1230. It was good for first place, this year Andrew really dominated.

Congrats to Andrew and glad we wrapped up another season.

Thanks, it was a fun season...particularly being able to pick the Bulls and be right about it more often than not.

Once we're done with the thread ie everyone has posted their final tallies and any other breakdowns they care to calculate, I'll archive this thread in Hardwood Classics with the others.

[Dan's Brain]

I'll have a look at the amount of times I picked each team and was right. Figure out who screwed me over the most. My money is on Miami.

9/15 for the day, 825/1230 for the season. That's 67%. I think I'm fourth place among those who predicted for the whole season? Depending on how Cartar did, it maybe so.

I'll be doing advanced stats (similar to what Cartar does) sometime in the next few days. It was a good season to me, despite the Rockets not making the playoffs and screwing my predictions over all the time. I was able to keep up for the whole season, hoping for another full season next season as well.

I got exactly 9/15!

760/1083 - 70.1754% - I'm just over 70% and need 9/15 to stay above 70%!

A bit easier when you haven't turned in picks for over 100 of the games so far. There's also been days where you haven't counted games that you didn't predict in time, whereas the rest of us have counted them as a wrong prediction.

Yeah, I know, 769/1098 comes out to 70.04% I missed 132 games, though, I didn't know that counted against me. No worries though. This was a lot of fun!

[Andrew]

Yes, I realise you were making the calculation based on the number of predictions you did turn in. I'm just saying it's a little easier when you don't count missed predictions as wrong picks (most of us did) or turn in picks every day. It doesn't count against you per se, it's not like there's a prize on the line here or anything, I was just making an observation.

[Dan's Brain]

I think we should award a 3rd prize.


and nothing else.

[Andrew]

Anyone else got anything to add, further breakdowns of their scores etc? If not, I'll go ahead and archive the thread.

[Dan's Brain]

Yeah go for it. What I was trying to do just got annoying.

[Axel The Great]

I will go back and edit this post. I am gonna see what the Rockets' record would've been had all of the games I predicted for them had been right. I'm guessing they would've had a 60-win season according to me?

EDIT: Yep, according to my predictions, the Rockets would've gone 66-16, which is highly unfeasible, even with a healthy Yao. Only in my HOF Dynasty.

[Martti.]

I bet I had 70+ for the Heat, but I won't do any advanced research.

[rise]

I'm sure I had Charlotte winning about 60 and Dallas winning about 80. lol

[George7]

I'm sure as well that I had Chicago winning almost every game I predicted! Something about 70-75 wins ,as I missed some as well...

[Andrew]

Alright, I'm archiving and locking the thread. Thanks to all who participated, hopefully a good time was had by all.

If anyone has anything else to add ie. you've been working on a breakdown of your scores or whatever, just PM me and I'll unlock the thread temporarily so that you can post it. I'm guessing we're done here though.
