11/26 76ers @ Pistons
The Pistons have gotten off to a very good start despite their low expectations. The team is meshing well and Steve Smith is unstoppable. I see Smith going off against the 76ers and the Pistons win this one at home in a tight game.
11/27 Celtics @ Magic
These are two very good teams. The Magic have started out hot, but with a rather weak schedule. The Celtics are coming off a tough sim and should be much better in this sim. I like the Magic's matchup's a little better though. Jones is a lockdown defender guarding one of the top scorers in the league and Miller has a mismatch at SF. Magic win close at home.
11/29 Mavs @ Clippers
Hakeem welcomes Sabonis to the class of worldwide basketball and lead the Clippers to a win.
12/2 Bucks @ Lakers
Lakers are simply better IMO and at home. Star power wins over depth in this.
12/3 Timberwolves @ Hornets
Both teams are off to slower starts than expected. I believe in the Twolves complementary players more and that Gugs and Cwebb cancel each other out for the most part. Wolves grab the win on the road.
12/5 Nets @ Hawks
Nets have better post players currently and a top scorer in the league. I give it to them.
WC 12/1 Cavs at Mavs
Easy one here

11/26 76ers @ Pistons
These two teams are pretty equal and I might lean heavier on the home team here. Tray and his Pistons are exceeding expectations because of a weak ass division but still have Smith to OP everyone out. 76ers are more balanced but are not that great on the road and are currently on a three game losing streak. I got the Detroit Pistons to continue their stride.
11/27 Celtics @ Magic
Wow, how much have things changed here? It's arguable that the Magic are still the underdogs here, but they're riding an impressive 11 game win streak currently and are undefeatedat home. The Celtics, on the other hand, showed a sign of weakness after starting 4-0. iknorite, weird. I don't see the Celtics continuing that unimpressive sim and can see Conroy making small, but big impact changes in his gameplan. I'm going to go with the new kid on the block the Orlando Magic, because if there is one team that could dethrone the 3peaters in their division right now, it's them.
11/29 Mavs @ Clippers
Great game here. Two division leading teams out West battling it out, with the home team sporting an undefeated record at home. Defense vs Offense. When it comes to these games, the score can be anywhere between 90-120 points randomly, so whoever controls the pace will have a significant advantage. Even with an injury to Barkley, I think the Dallas Mavericks will pull the upset here and come away with a solid W on the road.
12/2 Bucks @ Lakers
Can't wait for the result of this game as I want to hear the live reactions. Bucks are finally relevant after a long "break" from competing and are serious contenders to battle for the Central division title. The Lakers got younger this season and have played fairly inconsistent this season, as they have good wins and bad losses spotted on their schedule so far. Both teams are great on offense, and suck on defense. I'll go with the home team Los Angeles Lakers for the offensive advantage in this game.
12/3 Timberwolves @ Hornets
Both of these teams have had a less than stellar start this season, since they were popular peaseason picks to win their division. We're only 2 sims in, true. But both these teams have glaring weaknesses that have to be corrected soon or they'll fall behind early. The Hornets are not that great on offense and have difficulty scoring but their defense is what keeps them in games, whereas the Wolves have a decent offense but are ded last in D Efficiency. Not good if you want to be a serious contending team. I'm going with the Charlotte Hornets and their defense.
12/5 Nets @ Hawks
Hard one to choose. The Nets started off on the right foot for being in a tough division but are on a four game skid and took a loss to my lowly Kings. The Hawks owner decided to solve the age old question "If a man ties a knot in the woods, does it make a sound?" We'll know soon since I think he gets back in a few days, but right now he's stuck in Same-Mode I'm guessing and looks like an average team. I'm going with the New Jersey Nets here, hoping they find a good change to make in their DC.
WILDCARD
12/03 Nuggets @ Mavs
They just traded Houston and have zilch, nothing. Dallas Mavericks.

11/26 76ers @ Pistons - Pistons are playing better and the Sixers are struggling on the road. I expect to see the Pistons to win easily.
11/27 Celtics @ Magic - Celtics had an extremely disappointing sim while the Magic are on fire. The Celtics are a much deeper team and more seasoned, but the Magic are hot and at home. Let's go with them.
11/29 Mavs @ Clippers - The Mavs suffered a tough injury to Barkley while the Clippers are undefeated at home and feature a formidable front-line. Hard to go against the Clippers.
12/2 Bucks @ Lakers - Hard to pick with this one. Both teams have been an enigma. Bucks are good on the road while the Lakers are good at home. I think I'm going with the Buc...Lakers.
12/3 Timberwolves @ Hornets - Hornets are good at home while the TWolves are bad on the road. I think the Wolves will turn it around, but going with the Hornets at home.
12/5 Nets @ Hawks - Hawks are the safe bet at home.
WC
12/6 - 76ers at Rockets - Going with the Rockets at home against a struggling Sixers team.
