of the last prediction challenge of the Heat board, I thought it was time for a new one where we all can pretend to know more about the basketball future than we actually do. These kinds of threads always pop up close to start of the regular season so why not make a game of this where everyone can have a go at this season’s final standings. I promise to bump this thread updated with everyone’s final score to coronate the winner when the RS is over.*If you’re reading this and belong to another fan-base, you’re welcome to join in as well. Maybe the Heat board is high on its own supply, way low on your team’s current status or you just want to make a name for yourself. Join in!
Rules:
2 points for each correct placement of a team in the standings
1 point for each team that's placed one spot away
?x2 points for the total win deviation of all the predicted team wins. (ex. Prediction; Detroit 40, Hornets 39, Bucks 38 - Final standing; Detroit 34, Hornets 37, Bucks 46 - Result; Detroit 6 + Hornets 2 + Bucks 8, 16/3 = 5,33.) The one with the smallest deviation gets the most points in relation to number of participants x2. (ex. 3 submissions = 1st place 6p and last place 2p. 4 submissions = 1st place 8p and last place 2p.)

Spoiler:
* 1230 wins btw
** Last submission or update of previous contribution is at the time of the first Miami Heat game of the regular season.
Good luck everyone!
