NBA 2025 Prediction Contest: October updates

1666 sats \ 27 comments \ @Undisciplined 25 Oct Stacker_Sports

NBA basketball is back!

Who wants to overreact to the first couple of games by changing their end of season predictions?

We had several new participants join the contest in September and hopefully we'll continue to pick up new folks as the season rolls on.

Here's the current state of the competition with your max possible score next to your name:

Contestant	MVP	Champ	All NBA
@Undisciplined 69	Luka	OKC	Jokic	Giannis	Luka	Ant	SGA
@grayruby 70	Giannis	Pacers	Jokic	Giannis	Luka	Mitchell	Brunson
@gnilma 70	SGA	OKC	Jokic	Wemby	Luka	SGA	Brunson
@BitcoinAbhi 70	Luka	Denver	Jokic	Giannis	Luka	Ant	SGA
@Bell_curve 70	Luka	Celtics	Jokic	Giannis	Luka	Ant	SGA
@0xbitcoiner 70	Jokic	Pacers	Jokic	Giannis	Luka	Ant	Brunson
@Coinsreporter 49	Giannis	Pacers	Jokic	Giannis	Luka	Ant	Brunson
@TheMorningStar 49	Luka	Celtics	Jokic	Giannis	Luka	Ant	SGA
@onthedeklein 49	Luka	T-Wolves	Jokic	Giannis	Luka	Wemby	SGA
@Carresan 49	Luka	Mavs	Jokic	Giannis	Luka	Wemby	SGA
@BTC_Bellzer 49	Luka	Celtics	Embiid	Giannis	Luka	Tatum	SGA
@realBitcoinDog 49	Luka	Lakers	Jokic	Giannis	Luka	Ant	SGA

My October overreaction is that Embiid is already a lost cause, sorry @BTC_Bellzer. Also, the Knicks and Wolves may have both lost their blockbuster trade. The Celtics are looking dominant, Luka's starting strong, and Wemby might still need some polishing.

The pot is only about 2k at the moment, but I'm sure it will continue to grow.

If you want to join this contest, just leave your predictions for MVP, Champion, and All-NBA 1st team in the comments. See the June post for more details.

After watching last night's game, I'm feeling pretty good about my OKC champ pick. Oh my, these young guys were running the floor hard, defending hard, creating so much offense/points on transition, and everyone playing for one another. Just a pleasure to watch a team playing like that. Both teams were shooting like shit on 3's, but OKC attacked the paint more efficiently, and I think that gave them the win. Still need to work on the rebounding though. Need their true 5 to play, as Chet is still too skinny to play against a real 5. Looking forward to see that Hartenstein can do for them when he returns.

The Wemby All NBA pick seems really really bold now, but I'll give it a bit more time before changing my mind. Keeping my picks for now.

Side note, after looking at your table, I think I'm the only person who doesn't have Giannis on my All NBA picks. Talk about bold (or foolish).

OKC is gonna be beastly this season, but I still picked Celtics because young teams rarely get the chip without more experience in the finals first.

Edit: I also didn't pick Giannis for All NBA 1st... though I just joined just now.

They should look even better when Hartenstein returns.

Especially against Denver. Chet will be fine in a lot of matchups, but Denver's got way too much beef for him.

If my max possible score is bottom of the heap 49 then IM OVERREACTING

What do I need to get 71 and have the new highest max possible??

0 sats \ 11 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 25 Oct

You can't do anything. You're fighting with less valuable selections because you joined late. Picks are worth 1 point per month remaining in the contest. June picks were worth 10 points each and September picks were worth 7.

As the early entrants change their picks, their max possible points will decline.

So I need you and @grayruby to PANIC

Look at @grayruby's picks, he's clearly going to panic soon.

I need the Bucks on the money line tonight. I got a bit cocky after my big wins last night and bet more than I usually do. Need to win and then reign myself in and get back to going for singles instead of homers before I blow myself up and don’t buy any bitcoin.

Can’t lose if you don’t stop doubling down.

How deep does @grayruby gambling deficit rabbit hole go…

Bucks suck

I lost my final Nitro bet on your stupid Pacers.

12 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 26 Oct

Haha. Pacers are a second half team. They will get hot just in time to roll through the playoffs.

Nah. Riding the Pacers to glory. Did you see Mitchell dominating the Raps the other day?

Are we doing a November update soon? I want to change my All NBA pick.

I'll try to do it today. You can also just tell me anywhere what you want to change.

Go Mavs! Luka had a great start.

Unfortunately, my Houston Rockets, made up of several young players, are not at the top of the favorites... I hope they reach the play-offs

At least they're a fun and interesting team. Playoffs or no, they have a bright future.
