This week's game against the Hunterz TIE, short handed team has been eye opening for Delpra. A lot of adjustments will have to be made if Delpra is going to put up a better fight against their rivals. Loving the predictions, a +1 for everyone.

Keep your sights on my team, I expect to improve my team. The first few games are experimental as I have new pieces to fit into the team. If this week is any indication, no one is really safe from an upset (congrats), and I will hold on to that hope for the playoffs.

Well should do season overall predictions: You vs Me. What do you think? Right now your winning 6-4.

Sure!
You'll most likely beat me out and take the promotion this season so this gives me something to win at least :P

THATS THE SPIRIT Also i think if anyone else wants to join us in this competition they should let us know before the next games on saturday are played they are welcome to join but will only get 2 points for these previous games so you would have 6-4-2 lead. That is if anyone else is even interested. Also just a heads up: for most of my predictions i will just state which team will win with little to no description or reason as to why (So i wont be writing a paragraph on each game like last games), unless i have loads of free time.

I think we should keep track of the number but also do a percentage break down so anyone can join in at any time; this way someone could jump in mid season and contribute/compete. Just more opportunity to get this forum active! Of course the overall number would be the deciding factor in the case of a % tie. Just an idea.

If you want to. However it is a lot harder to calculate percentages and know when which managers joined in which weeks and if one misses a week and stuff.

I'll just keep a running total and post overall correct out of overall attempted and percentage to date. If guys miss weeks then so be it. Its just for fun anyway :P

so the funny thing not so funny is that i never saw that it was a tv game. i missed that completely, hopefully my fans forgive me for that :D

btw this is awesome, stay on the forum everyone, its more fun like this.

Hell yeah I won, I kind of want to know my season prediction (btw the game predictions are cool to). EBW and crazy gm keep it up

Predictions for 12-8-12 games
E.B.W. @ Tsunami:
2 teams enter this game undefeated but sadly one will go home with their first loss on the season. Both teams have suffered injuries; E.B.W will be without their best guard Ander Ovando Ferrer and Tsunami will be missing Marien Burnier. The Tsunami love to play LI but may need to alter their strategy because E.B.W has much more talented bigs. With the injury to Ferrer the Tsunami may look to attack from the outside but I don’t think they have the depth in outside players to do this effectively; maybe they could have done so with Burnier but I don’t see it happening without him. Look for E.B.W to lock down the paint with smothering defense and utilize their advantage down low on offense. E.B.W wins by 7-12.
Maine Shipbuilders @ Kole Krushers:
The Shipbuilders may well have the most balanced team in the league this year. They don’t have any stand out stars but they play as a team. On the other hand, there’s the Krushers with Chung and some role-playing trainees. Last time I talked about how Chung couldn’t carry the Krushers alone but this time I like his chances. Chung will likely guard Amir Mivsek and will significantly decrease his production while on offense, I predict Chung to set his season best in points with 49. The Shipbuilders will out-rebound the Krushers and look to run an inside offense but ultimately lose by 4-9.
EDIT: Krushers just picked up another guard off the transfer list giving Chung some much needed help. They increased their advantage at the guard spots and will now win this game more easily; I'm guessing the point differential increases to 13-18.
Hunterz @ Villains:
The Villains don’t have 1 single player that would even be a solid backup player for any other team in the league. They are destined for a 0-22 season. The Hunterz will definitely start their 2nd string but fans may be treated to extremely reduced minutes from their favorite Hunterz players at which time the game will play out like a B3 team facing the local elementary school team in a pickup game. Hunterz win by 35-40.
Miu. & Co. @ Big Dawgs:
4th and 5th in the Great 8 presently and precisely where I project them to finish the season, fighting over that 4th playoff spot. I see a rivalry in the making with these 2 teams. Miu & Co like to play RnG so I expect to see a fast pace with numerous scoring streaks that will either keep the game close and exciting or result in a large margin. Big Dawgs are, I think, the more versatile team and I feel they’ll be capable of slowing down that high octane RnG offense. This one will be close but I pick Big Dawgs to win by 1-6.

Predictions for 12-8-12 games continued
Orlando Magic Ballers @ Delpra:
The Ballers are off to a rocky start this season and facing a team like Delpra only makes matters worse. Delpra is simply the deeper team. With a tough match against E.B.W later this week and a relatively tough cup game its hard to say what lineup Delpra will throw at the Ballers but I doubt they will play only 2nd stringers. Delpra’s bench alone can’t beat the Ballers but with a little help from the stars, even if only off the bench, I foresee a win for Delpra. Delpra by 12-17.
Closet Men @ Team Hate:
Closet Men pulled out the upset against the Bastards in their last game but something tells me this game will be different. Team Hate is much better equipped in the big man department and will completely control the boards. Couple the large rebounding differential with their tendency towards a fast pace, their efficiency with their outside shot, and the Closet Men’s inability to play lock down defense or secure themselves 2nd shot opportunities and this one is easy to predict. Team Hate runs away with this one. Team Hate by 29-34.
No Love @ Springfield Storm:
Set the DVR boys! You don’t want to miss this game. Going to be the game of the night! Both teams have strong cores and it’s going to come down to who draws up the best game plan. Execution is key in this one; getting in foul trouble could spell disaster as there is a large skill gap between the core players and bench on either roster. I’m expecting an exciting back-and-forth edge-of-your-seat game through all 4 quarters. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one goes into an OT or two. In the end I figure the point differential to be less than 5 in favor of the Storm.
Majestic 12 @ Sneaky Bastards:
The Bastards are out Pascal Rubio and that is a huge loss as he is the catalyst of their offense. Majestic 12 has a versatile roster but I don’t think they have the ability to win by looking inside so the Bastards have the advantage of knowing what they will be up against. The Bastard Duo of Fancisco Gabat and Otto Grubb will find a way carry this team in Rubio’s absence. Bastards redeem themselves from that upset Tuesday with a 11-16 point victory.
