NBA Over/Under Competition

[Split T]

Looks like we could have quite a few of us in the negatives or at zero(I think we all basically locked in the suns over haha), without any official numbers in yet, I think Kryptonic, Rhylek, and Mori are the front runners to win.

Leaderboard(including locked + likely points):

1. Rhylek - 5(with 1 point outstanding)
2. Kryptonic - 3(with 7 points outstanding)
3. Mori Chu - 3(with 5 points outstanding)
4. Gladiator - 2(with 2 points outstanding)
5(tie). Superbone, Bobster, SplitT - 0(4 points)
8. SunsRit - -2(with 6 points outstanding)
9. Carno - -2(with 4 points outstanding)

Thanks for taking the time to put that together Split... It's fun and makes the season a little more interesting.

[Split T]

Thank SunsRit for reminding me…I honestly forgot haha

[SunsRIt]

You got it. I needed something entertaining considering how bad the Suns have been. Thanks for doing it. Neither of my locks hit. Pretty sad really.

Who did the big 3 games together competition? I couldn’t find it either.

[Split T]

I don’t remember..did we do another one for this year?

I do have an idea I want to do in the off-season…I want to see how good we are at forecasting the next 5 years. Working out the details, but basically everyone will predict their next 5 MVPs, Title winners, and the 5 players with the most 1st Team All-NBA selections. I’ll track it on a spreadsheet and update people each year. Thought it could be fun.

Probably include a suns prediction section as well. Gotta figure that out.

[SunsRIt]

Sounds great. I’m in.

Commentary on my picks:

West:

Oklahoma City Thunder 57.5 - Over <-- YUP
Dallas Mavericks 48.5 - Over (Lock) <-- oops
New Orleans Pelicans 45.5 - Under (Lock) <-- YUP
Golden State 43.5 - Under <-- oops
Utah Jazz 27.5 - Under <-- YUP

East:

Philadelphia 76ers 50.5 - Under <-- YUP
Milwaukee Bucks 49.5 - Under
Cleveland Cavs 48.5 - Over <-- YUP
Indiana Pacers 46.5 - Over (Lock) <-- probably
Toronto Raptors 29.5 - Under (Lock) <-- probably

Overall I think a lot of the old guard of good teams are going to fall this season, like the Warriors, Lakers, Sixers, Bucks. <-- Right on Sixers, wrong on the rest

These younger and hungrier teams like OKC, Minny, Cleveland, Indiana, etc. are going to run wild this year. <-- mostly YUP on this

I also really like this is a comeback year for the Grizzlies with Ja and Edey, but I couldn't get there with that 46.5 line. <-- YUPcolor]

I didn't list our Suns to avoid bad karma, but I think we'll go "over" as well and have a strong season. <-- OOPS :'(

I can't remember who started it but there was one. I did it last season.

I know I picked around 20 games for:the big 3. Curious how many it’s been.

For what it’s worth here are my late entries. I think injuries are going to play a big part this year and having depth to cover. (Also late season shenanigans will come into play for many teams positioning for draft picks)

west
New Orleans 49.5 under lock easy win on this one.
Sacramento 46.5 under.
Dallas 48.5 over lock loss unfortunately.
Injuries and trade killed this one
San Antonio 35.5 over looks like a narrow loss.
wemby out hurts this one
LA clippers 35.5 under. Bet on injuries but just a bad pick

East
Philadelphia 50.5 under lock looked obvious to me
Milwaukee 48.5 under will just get this one even if they win out
Cleveland 48.5 over lock
Detroit 25.5 over
Brooklyn 19.5 under bad miss

Edit: updated to be 5 from each conference

Haven’t really looked at this since the start of the season. Looks like I should have stuck to picking the east - and four picks for each conference!
