Month: June 2025

2025 Muttroxia Predictions: Mid-Year Report

At the mid-point I have 6 correct and 2 incorrect. The rest are yet to be decided.

Sports

All NBA predictions refer to the 2024/2025 season that ends June 2025.

  • The NBA MVP will once again be Nikola Jokic.
    • No. It should have been though!
  • The Thunder win the Western Conference.
    • Yes.
  • The Cavaliers or Celtics win the Eastern Conference.
    • No. Wow, bad luck here. Both teams had huge injury issues.
  • The Oklahoma City Thunder will be in the NBA finals three of the next five years.
  • The Atlanta Hawks will continue to be mediocre or worse. The prediction is that they will finish the 2024/2025 season at 60% or less.
    • Yes. The Atlanta Hawks ended the season at 40-42, for a winning percentage of 48.8%
  • The NBA All Star game will continue to suck.
    • Yes.
  • Payton Pritchard will win the sixth man award.
    • Yes.
  • The New England Patriots win 8 games in 2025/2026.
  • Bijan Robinson will have over 1,500 yards in 2025/26:
  • Saquon Barkley will have less than 2,000 yards in 2025/26.

The Economy

My hypothesis is the economy under Trump won’t change much. Trump will change his mind, can’t execute his policies, or they won’t matter that much.

  • Inflation does not increase much in 2025. Prediction is that the average for 2025 will be between 2.3% and 3.5%. Source.
    • Average so far is 2.6%.
  • The Misery Index will stay below 7 in 2025.
    • The Misery Index is at 6.5.
  • Electric car sales finish above 10% in 2025 Q4.
  • Not looking good. Q1 was 7.5%. All liberals hate Tesla now, and Republicans haven’t changed their tune.

Politics

  • The election interference case against Trump in Georgia will not be decided against him in 2025.
    • Very confusing. Six charges were removed, Fani Willis was dismissed from the cast, not sure if a sitting president can be indicted, but the case is still alive.
  • Congress passes no significant legislation about immigration.
    • Why bother? Congress is sitting back and letting Trump do whatever he wants. Law, schmaw.
  • There is at least one real threat of government shutdown in 2025.
    • Nothing so far with Trump in power, though there was one while he was still taking power. This was a bad prediction… shutdowns are a technique by Republicans to exert leverage when the Democrats are in power. Democrats just don’t do this.
  • No major Democrats are indicted for crimes related to their political activities.
    • So far so good.
  • At least two of these four get confirmed:
    • Every single one confirmed. Every single one terrible… amazingly enough Gabbard might be the best of the lot.

Randoms

  • One of these three people will die in 2025: Clint Eastwood, Alan Greenspan, Mel Brooks.
    • So far they are all doing good.
  • Muttroxia will have a month with four or more posts after January.
    • Yes, I did four in April, mostly to win this prediction.
