Season Predictions Update

Now that the regular season has come to an end, I’ll give y’all an update on our Season Picks Game standings (you can see the picks here: http://www.nbadraft.net/forum/season-picks-game-20172018-edition). Rules and scoring are here: http://www.nbadraft.net/forum/season-picks.

Eastern Conference Predictions Final Standings:

1. 35 points: SmooveKRYPT (nailed Boston, Miami, New York, and Brooklyn perfectly. Only screwed up one playoff/non playoff team in Indiana/Charlotte).
2. 33 points: festar35
3. 31 points: Dmo21, SubZero, Evan_Milberg
4. 30 points: BallerScript, BKGingerSnap
5. 29 points: stifler101
6. 28 points: Zouldiers
7. 27 points: faithnomuz, NBADraft.net consensus
8. 25 points: DC Fraz
9. 23 points: Chrispy
10. 21 points: Thenilonator, Andrew1984

7. 19 points: BKGingerSnap, NBADraft.net consensus
8. 17 points: SubZero
9. 15 points: festar35 (this is what happens when you think Denver, Clippers and Memphis were going to make the playoffs…)

Top 5 of Standings Predictions:

1. 58 points: BallerScript (you get da World Standings Championship belt!)
2. 56 points: SmooveKRYPT, stifler101
3. 55 points: Evan_Milberg
4. 52 points: Dmo21
5. 50 points: Thenilonator, faithnomuz

I also tend to shame people once the results are out, so here’s last place:
OhCanada with 42 points (as per my rulings, your opinion on team evaluations is now invalid until the start of next season. Sorry.)

Stat Leader Predictions Final Standings:
1. 15 points: Andrew1984 (got Harden (PPG), Drummond (RPG) and Davis (BPG) all with his first choices. Good for you!)
2. 11 points: OhCanada, Chrispy, festar35, NBADraft.net consensus
3. 10 points: DC Fraz
4. 9 points: faithnomuz
5. 8 points: SmooveKRYPT
6. 7 points: Evan_Milberg, Thenilonator
7. 6 points: BallerScript, Zouldiers
8. 4 points: Dmo21, SubZero, BKGingerSnap
9. 1 point: stifler101 (it’s almost like you got stifled…)

So now we have to wait for the player awards to be announced to finish this game up. Sadly, they now push back the announcement date, so that sucks. But there is 25 points available for each person, so everyone still has a chance. I think this is our closest year to date. Here’s our top 3 current combined point totals:

1. 64 points: BallerScript, SmooveKRYPT (oh S###, we got a tie!)
2. 62 points: Evan_Milberg
3. 59 points: festar35, Andrew1984, faithnomuz

Bottom 3 are SubZero (52 points) and 53 points for OhCanada and BKGingerSnap. Still a tight race all around!
