January looks to be a tougher month than the last.
All four of these teams have a great offense and some great team leaders.
The game vs the Cavs will be the Matchup of the Month as the Cavs really need the win to try get the top spot in the Div.
Dallas will be a tough game but the Pistons are lucky to have it at home, likewise for the Sonics and Kings games.
In my opinion January is a tought month to pick

Edit: Damn just noticed I have been spelling January wrong in the Banner :lol:

Alright time to make your pics for January, like December
you'll notice there arent as many points on offer since its only a 4 game month,
This month looks like it will be a tough one to pick,
my advice is if your not sure to maybe hold out till 1 or 2 games have been played, but then again thats just me.
Also check below for the Leadersboard.

Image

Once again it was an easy month to pick, most people got it right or at least were only 1 off,
if I had been picking myself I would have opted for 5-1 but we just got on a roll basically.
X decided to go with his gut feeling which ended up with him earning only the bonus 5 point entry reward.


December Predictions

With 4 games left:

:arrow: Sit: 2-2 (Losses to Cavs and Mavs)

Aight, well sinc eyou guessed the teams im gonna make it like X has it and if you want to you can guess which teams I lose to, if you get i right you get an extra 5 points, but if you dont get it right then you lose 5 of your points.

I'll go with 2-2....I think you'll lose at least one, but you might get tripped up against Cavs & Mavs (these aren't picks like Sit)....

^^ nah, I'm not super-confident about you losing to both those teams, it could be Kings & Mavs, or Kings & Cavs or Cavs & Mavs....you should beat Seattle though :wink:

Yeh! You're almost to midway of the season! (You know what that means...it's Birdie Board time!) I can't believe it's been almost 7 months and we still haven't gotten you on the Birdie Board yet!

Which reminds me, I better get my predictions in I say you're going 2-2 for this month. If you're doing a prediction board and The X is doing his, I better write a software APP to make things easier for you guys!

Send me that pstat when it's time! :wink:

Awesome dynasty, you make my dynasty look like crap.

And I suppose you are doing your dynasty on the CPU? Those graphics kick ass. 8-)

I say 3-1 this month, you will be outdone by Dallas.
