And I come in with the clean sweep on our 2012 predictions.

As a reminder they were:

Mike:
WC: Lakers
EC: Miami
NBA: Miami
MVP: Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamebron

Xian:
WC – OKC
EC – MIAMI
NBA – MIAMI (UGHH)
MVP – DURANT

Jake:
WC: OKC
EC: Miami
NBA: Miami
MVP: Lebron

As far as our lowly Warrior’s record we were all too optimistic, but I was closer than the rest and was the only one on the right side of Vegas’s 29.5 line.

Nationally, Bill Simmons was the closest to predicting their record, off by one win, and if the Warrior’s hadn’t inexplicably won the game in Minnesota he would have nailed it exactly. BS probably got a little lucky with his prediction because I don’t think he was assuming Curry would miss so much time, but none-the-less he is the winner.

Actual: Warrior’s 23-43

Mike: 34-32  .515 winning percentage (42 wins in a normal 82 game season)

Xian: 31-35  .470 winning percentage (38.5 wins in a normal 82 game season)

Jake: 29-37  .439 winning percentage (36 wins in a normal 82 game season)

Bill Simmons 22-44; .333 winning percentage;  27 wins in a normal 82 game season (link to podcast)

I didn’t actually put any real money on this so bragging rights and a beer from my fellow W&W writers will have to do.
