2008/2009 Season Daily Predictions

[Andrew]

That's all the ties broken.

4/5, turns out the Warriors/Wizards game was the one that got all of us. 123/201 on the season.

November 26th

Milwaukee @ Atlanta
Charlotte @ Toronto
Oklahoma City @ Cleveland
Orlando @ Philadelphia
Golden State @ Boston
New York @ Detroit
Phoenix @ Minnesota
Indiana @ Houston
Chicago @ San Antonio
Memphis @ Utah
New Jersey @ Sacramento
Miami @ Portland
Denver @ LA Clippers

I'm also picking New York/Detroit, Memphis/Utah and Orlando/Philadelphia as the games most likely to end up going the opposite way to my pick.

[Dan's Brain]

4/5 for today. 133/209 overall. Never underestimate a team who's just fired the coach seems to be the moral of today's story.

Oklahoma City @ Cleveland

I like the idea of making additional predictions, but i'm going try something a little bit different and a little less daring.

High scorer of the day: Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix. (Obviously that shouldnt count towards my total unless I'm right. In which case, it's worth 30 points )

How about this:
If you choose to predict the highscorer and predict it wrong, you have to add 1 minus to your total. If you pick the right guy however, you can add as many points to your total as games were played.

I bet the Houston-Indiana game screwed everyone over. Dammit, how the heck did they lost?

[Andrew]

It did, we all picked Houston. Camby taking a three to win the game for the Clippers, on the other hand, worked in favour of my prediction.

12/13 on the day, 135/214 on the year for 63%.

November 27th

Orlando @ Washington
New Orleans @ Denver

I'm going back and forth on the Hornets/Nuggets pick, but I'll go with the Hornets to win.

[Modifly]

Although I'm not participating in this Daily predictions, I think the Hornets will win Andrew.

And Houston had that game won only if they didn't play stupidly in the last 6 minutes of the game.

[Andrew]

That's how I feel even with the Nuggets being 10-5 and having a good record in Denver, it just feels like the kind of pick that is likely to go the other way. All the same, I'm too comfortable with picking the Hornets in this one to go with the Nuggets.

[StupidBoy]

Hey, hey, erik_twism! I was 12/13 on the day, that makes it 152/214!

[Dan's Brain]

11/13 for today - better than predicted. 144/222 for the season.
Amare was also a jerk. 9 shot attempts?! You're the second best big man in the game. And John Salmons with the daily high?! Dont be stupid.

November 27th

Orlando @ Washington
New Orleans @ Denver

Top scorer: Nene, Denver.

[StupidBoy]

And John Salmons with the daily high?! Dont be stupid.

Good thing, he wasnt'. Chris Bosh was with 39 points...

[Dan's Brain]

Ah yep. Forgot about Bosh. That makes more sense. But still! 9 shot attempts!

[buzzy]

Meh, nobody linking my idea?

even mistakes with just 2 teams playing
I guess I was in the wrong line
with the number of games comming up I guess you should check the standings for mistakes.
