Warriors at kings.
The warriors have the talent to compete. WARRIORS by 6.
Blazers @twolves
I apparently messed up on this pick completely. But I am going with the home team. Wolves by 4.
Heat at mavs.
I'm not picking against my team even if we are terrible on the road. HEAT by 2.
Pistons @ raptors
Game of the week. Two top eastern conference teams. Home court wins out. RAPTORS by 1.
Rockets @ hornets
Big man will dominate. ROCKETS by 13.
Hawks @ Knicks
Another big man domination. But rookie gm versus a two time champion. HAWKS by 6.
Wildcard:
11/8 - Celticss @ bulls.
The champs have the championship hangover. But squeak out a nail biter. Celticss by 1

11/1/1994 – Warriors @ Kings
The Kings are a well oiled machine, and that's good because they're about to get jammed with some (KY) Jelly in this one. I do think it'll be close, and it'll be fun to watch how the Pacific paper/rock/scissors to a full out orgy.
11/7/1994 – Heat @ Mavericks
Heat have a strong 4 , but unfortunately so do the Mavs who are strong 1-6 and have the better gameplanner. Although the Mavs coach has a head that can hardly fit into the arena at times, it's the beginning of the season and it shouldn't be inflated enough to stop him from entering the area.
11/8/1994 – Pistons @ Raptors
Pistons did a lot to address their issues this offseason in terms of getting a big man and a legitimate point and center to fortify their team. Steve Smith grew up and is now working on prying the reigns of the team out of Reggie Miller's cold, dead hands. The Raptors are all in for this year and have shown they can (almost) give anyone a run for their money. I think the Pistons handle this in a close one in Toronto.
11/11/1994 – Rockets @ Hornets
Big shit poppin' and little shit stoppin'. In case you didn't understand shaq is big shit and Gugs is the little shit. This hornets team realies on Tom Gugliotta's production as the spark to get this team going, unfortunately, their biggest strength is the Rocket's biggest strength. If the Hornets can limit everyone else, this could be a game in Charlotte, but I think Shaq dominates and they win.
11/11/1994 - Blazers @ Timberwolves
what a turnaround for the Wolves. A once wasteland for talent outside of Drexler has become ripe with fruit with Drexler. This team has the opportunity to become incredible with 2 stars and one falling. The Blazers on the other hand have a team full of options. shawn Bradley has taken the turn in TC and has become a top 5 scariest player to face on Defense. I think the timberwolves being at home and Webber having free reign on his matchup will decide this one.
11/12/1994 – Hawks @ Knicks
The once scary juggernaut has fallen to the pack. I'm not talking about David Robinson, I'm talking about the Hawks GM who really has no shot at making noise in his division. The Knicks had an incedibly good (lucky) offseason and have fortified all the positions around D Rob. that's bad news for the rest of the league and for the Hawks in this one.
Wildcard
11/2/1994 Magic @ Celtics
I guess Lakers Mavs WCF rematch and Lakers Celts Finals rematch wasn't spicy enough. BUT WE GOT THE HORNETTS BLAZERS AND HEAT!

11/1/1994 – Warriors @ Kings = Warriors. The Kings had a noted and declining drop in training camp while Kemp entered the dominant god zone. Even on the road, I wouldn't expect the Warriors to drop this one.
11/7/1994 – Heat @ Mavericks = Mavericks. I think Penny will play close to what another double purple people eater in Gary Payton could do. Scottie will school Jimmy Jackson and Dallas will get alot out of Horace Grant again. Dallas wins in a closer than expected battle.
11/8/1994 – Pistons @ Raptors = Detroit. I think Reggie Miller will continue to show his shooting touch and newcomber, Mark Jackson will have an inspired performance and stop Greg Anthony and send him to the line and Greg will brick both free throws in a running gag.
11/11/1994 – Rockets @ Hornets = Houston. Call me the Pete Rose of this league for betting against my team but I just don't feel comfortable against Shaq and the Rockets while size is a detriment to me. But I will hope for a reverse jinx in this one. I'm hoping for a good sim but will probably drop this one.
11/11/1994 - Blazers @ Timberwolves = Minnesota. Will the return of Drexler and Spud inspire confidence in the Wolves and get great contributions from Hill and Webber and thwart Portland although I would envision this to be a fun playoff matchup if they ever meet down the road.
11/12/1994 – Hawks @ Knicks = Knicks. Even on auto pilot a healthy Robinson will do damage to that Hawks front court. Hawks will have to hope their wings can keep them in it.
Wildcard
11/9/94
Utah @ VanMemphis = Grizzlies. Utah took the biggest hit of any team during TC and while they may have a favorable schedule at home for their first sim, I think they drop one of their lone road games to Stockton and the Grizzlies. Also look for Brad Daightry to have a big game due to an exposed frontcourt.
