Official East Conference Prediction Thread - updated 10/25/16 

Post#1 » by ken6199 » Wed Jul 6, 2016 4:59 pm

I figured if we are going to do this we might as well do it properly, here is my proposal.

Rules:
1) Post your predictions
2) I will record each prediction with its user ID
3) Once regular season finishes, I will report the analysis of
- Predicted vs actual finishing position for each team
- Best and worst predictors among us posters
5) Voting cutoff time is 10/25 0:00 ET

The hope is we contain all prediction into one thread, and with all the data collected, we have something meaningful to look back at the end of the season, and reward (shame) the best (worst) predictors. Safe to say I am not the best Excel user or data mining expert, so I welcome all suggestions, here or PM.

TL;DR, just post your prediction below.

It's a very quick and dirty analysis based on the data I have. All suggestions are welcome, especially on plotting!!

Massive cluster of team between Detroit and Washington, all could be between 38-46 wins. Conference certainly has more parity than the West IMO, lots of "good teams", yet still only one "very good team" in CLE.

Y'all confusing me with the ORD thing. That is chicago's airport so i am like "is that the bulls or the magic?" Nvm though because i see that CHI is being used for Chicago so, carry on.

:lol:

I would probably go:

Cavs

8. Magic
