1996-7 Tri-Weekly Pick'Em Panel - Sim 2

[thesyndicate]

Pick'em Panel Rules
1. All games have a point spread. If you don't know how that works, ask me or go here for an explanation.


2. There is NO Wild-card (as that was a freebie anyway). And there will be 7 games to pick per week.


3. Claim your one media point after your picks are in - but if you don't write up at least a couple of lines on your analysis of the game or reasons for picking, you personally get no points, but your picks will count.


4. You will be able to participate a max of 3 times throughout the season, and if not everyone in your division participates your division can't win.


5. I will assign pickers and send a message out to those selected. If you are the picker can't do it, find a sub. Please confirm you're taking your spot in a PM to me something like "Pick'em, I got it" is just fine.


6. All the members of the division with the most right picks at the end of the season will be claiming 5 points. The player with the best pick percentage (minimum 2 sims of picking) will get an additional 3 points.

7. Picks are due by 5pm on Sim Day. Late picks will not be accepted (unless I fuck up getting the pick'em out there in a reasonable amount of time.)


8. Have fun! #PositivityFriday

11/11 - Blazers (-10.5) @ Kings        two good defenses but blazers offense will still score enough    
11/12 - Hawks @ Jazz (-1.5)           Hopefully my changes in gp will pull out a win
11/12 - Sonics @ Celtics (-5.5)           This one really hard to chose edge to former champs
11/13 - Clippers @ Lakers (-6.5)                clips just can't score enough to close spread
11/14 - Knicks @ Nuggets (Pick'em. No spread)            nuggets defense...... wait do they have a defense?
11/14 - Pacers @ T-Wolves (-7.5)                          MJ will carry his team to victory!
11/20 - Heat (-13.5) @ Cavs                                  cave just don't have the scoring power

Games:

11/11 - Blazers (-10.5) @ Kings - The Kings just won't be able to score enough to keep this one close. Camby is the leading scorer for the Kings and will be neutralized by Bradley as Strickland battles with Macon.
11/12 - Hawks @ Jazz (-1.5) - What an. . . interesting matchup. . . I'll take the Stockton to Malone combo in Salt Lake over a. . . scrappy Hawks team. It will be close but the Jazz will cover the spread.
11/12 - Sonics @ Celtics (-5.5) - It is hard to bet against a $28 million team at home. The Sonics are due for some losses and this will be one of them.
11/13 - Clippers @ Lakers (-6.5) - The Clippers just don't have the defense to keep up with the high powered Lakers. Lakers will cover the spread.
11/14 - Knicks @ Nuggets (Pick'em. No spread) - David Robinson is healthy and the Nuggets do not have a match for the admiral. Knicks take it.
11/14 - Pacers @ T-Wolves (-7.5) - The T-Wolves continue to struggle to mesh. I'm willing to bet they win but I'm not willing to put money on them.
11/20 - Heat (-13.5) @ Cavs - The Heat are a very interesting team and the Cavs are, well, not but winning by 13 on the road will not happen. Cavs beat the spread.

11/11 - Blazers (-10.5) @ Kings
Kings have a bright future but, right now, they are bad. Blazers win.
11/12 - Hawks @ Jazz (-1.5)
Hawks are away but they have a better team. Their inside D will stop the Jazz.
11/12 - Sonics @ Celtics (-5.5)
The Celtics are at home and are the most consistent team in this league. Celtics win.
11/13 - Clippers @ Lakers (-6.5)
With a new GM still figuring things out, the Lakers take it at home.
11/14 - Knicks @ Nuggets (Pick'em. No spread)
DRob is DRob and Reggie Miller helps the Knicks take it on the road.
11/14 - Pacers @ T-Wolves (-7.5)
TWolves are at home and Webber has a field day against Strong.
11/20 - Heat (-13.5) @ Cavs
Cavs still suck.

Games:
11/11 - Blazers (-10.5) @ Kings - Blazers team is really starting to take shape. Bradley and Manning will have their hands full with Camby and Jones, but Mashburn and Smith will go to town have a field day.


11/12 - Hawks @ Jazz (-1.5) -Jazz will win a nailbiter. This will be an ugly game but Hawks front court is their strength, but the Jazz have Malongdick and only him down low. Look for Jazz backcourt as a whole to have a season best game.


11/12 - Sonics @ Celtics (-5.5) - I love the heart and soul of the Sonics to start the season, but the Celtics will win rum away with this.


11/13 - Clippers @ Lakers (-6.5) - Lakers are home and expect to bounce back after a slow (by laker standards) start. Dennis Scott and Eddie Jones match up evenly with Chapman and Sprewell, but KJ will eat Van Exel's asshole.


11/14 - Knicks @ Nuggets (Pick'em. No spread) - Nuggets win. No spread, no problem. Depth is the key here.


11/14 - Pacers @ T-Wolves (-7.5) - Augmon and Brown are going HAM. I think the Twolves win, but they eek this one out by a couple points. Because of the spread, I take Pacers


11/20 - Heat (-13.5) @ Cavs - Heat go to town on that absentee hirenorm vagina. Give them a real licking.

Jeez no trust in these guys
