    Saying we'd only win 23 games.

    Oh, should I have said FIFTY-FIVE wins like you did? Who's prediction do you think will be closer?

    So, we'll beat Denver and Utah to reach 15-20 at the end of the year. We'll then stretch the win streak to 6 with wins at Denver and home over Memphis. We'll drop the next three to LAC/GSW/OKC, but make that up in the next three (including breaking our eastern conference road losing streak), as well as giving us or 20th win before the all star break, winning Kingspeed his bet with HCP. We'll then split the ATL/WAS pair, and after beating the Lakers and Kings at home, we'll be 23-24 going into Nico's return to Portland on 1/29. We'll unfortunately drop that game, but we'll take Minny on the 31st, setting up another shot at .500 on the 2nd when the Bucks come to town. And that Groundhog's Day game will be the one that gets us to .500 for the first time since Veteran's Day.

    That was exhausting.

    Speaking of bets (I still think I'll win this one, even though I went back and couldn't find the post where we ever officially finalized said bet) MAGS still owes me a steak dinner from El Gaucho for last seasons bet he lost to me!

    No, you should have said 33 which will be the correct number :)

    If they keep playing the way they have, that does sound about right.

    Which is more likely, the team going 42-7 (to reach 55-27), or 10-39 (to reach 23-59)?

    Somehow I'm thinking 10-39 is far more likely than 42-7 (which would be a historic run).

    I predicted 27 wins.

    No one gave me shit about it because they like me more than they do HCP.

    Mine. If we win 40, mine is closer.

    HCP is better than you at starting game threads.

    How can I quantify this. For starting a game thread, Denny should pay Darkwebs $100. HCP should pay Denny $500, and you should pay Denny $1000.
