Prediction Contest: Welcome Marc Stein!

Disclaimer: the Colley Matrix does not accurately predict games. I would argue, however, that it predicts games better than a simple Win-Loss comparison.

Just for fun, I've decided to include Marc Stein's NBA power rankings as well. Let's look at his record, beginning Oct. 31, when we began our own contest.

Stein, Oct. 31:
Mavericks (#6) defeated Clippers (#20)
Heat (#4) defeated Nets (#27)
Jazz (#7) upset Thunder (#5)
Lakers (#1) defeated Warriors (#25)
Score: 3-1
Record: 3-1

Stein, Nov. 1:
Bulls (#13) upset Blazers (#4)
Kings (#20) defeated Raptors (#26)
Spurs (#10) defeated Clippers (#30)
Score: 2-1
Record: 5-2

So, the current standings:

ColleyW-LStein
4-33-35-2

The human wins...for now.
