Welcome back for our next episode of the Tri-Weekly Pre-Sim Pick 'Em Panel! Before every sim, I will message 1 GM from each division and ask them to participate in this panel. I will present them with 6 match-ups each week. Each will then be tasked with the chance to pick the winners of each of their matchups. On top of those 8 picks, they will also have 1 wildcard pick, where they can pick their favorite match-up from the sim. On top of picking the winners, they must provide an argument for each pick (a few sentences would be fine).
Incentive: Everyone who participates will get 1 point to add to their media/article write-ups. At the end of the season, I will tally the total of correct picks from each panelist and note that in their division totals. At the end of the regular season, the division with the highest total number of correct picks WINS! The prize for winning you may ask? Each team in that division will receive 5 points as a reward. These points do NOT count towards the 10-pt article max... so it's another avenue for earning training points. (My picks won't count towards the Central Division). One caveat, if you do not participate in a panel, you don't get 5 points if your division wins.
Once the thread is posted, the participants are welcome to post their arguments for their picks WITHIN ONE POST (please). After everyone posts their picks, I will post up mine before the sim.
Let's get started on Sim 11: 4/7/93 - 4/14/93!
This sim's invited participants are...
From the Central Division... TrayWithAnA (Detroit Pistons). From the Atlantic Division... rpf (New Jersey Nets). From the Midwest Division... TBD. From the Pacific Division... NOLa. (Sacramento Kings).
Don't worry, everyone will get their chance to participate!
NEW RULES REGARDING PARTICIPATION: I will send out a PM after the previous sim inviting you on the panel; please respond to that PM with a message saying that you can or cannot participate. You will have until Noon Central Time on the Sim Day to accept/decline the invite. If I do not hear from you by then, you will be replaced. If you do accept and do not post your picks by the time the DC thread is locked, then your division will NOT get a replacement and its picks will be forfeited. Additionally, you will not be asked to participate in the panel for the remainder of the season and won't be able to collect reward points if your division wins.
So... onto the picks! To make up for missing a few panels, we'll have 8 picks this sim:
4/7 - Jazz @ Spurs (Battle for Midwest 2nd Place) 4/8 - Nets @ Celtics (Battle for 8th Seed in the East) 4/9 - Clippers @ Mavericks (Clippers Race for 8th Seed) 4/10 - Bucks @ Celtics (Possible 1st Round Matchup) 4/11 - Kings @ Pistons (Battle of the #1 Seeds) 4/12 - Knicks @ Pacers (Possible 1st Round Matchup) 4/13 - Kings @ Warriors (Battle for the Pacific) 4/14 - Pistons @ Nets (Possible 1st Round Matchup)
PLUS your wildcard pick!
So, panelists... ball is in your court! Post up your picks!
(All others, please refrain from posting until after all picks are in... THANKS!)

ok i hope i do better this time.........
4/7 - Jazz @ Spurs
Spurs - They both enter on losing streaks but Spurs are playing better team ball.
4/8 - Nets @ Celtics
Nets - It's now or never...I'll go with now
4/9 - Clippers @ Mavericks
Clippers - Clippers playing for 8th seed so I'll go with them, Mavericks are playing for lotto balls
4/10 - Bucks @ Celtics
Bucks - The Bucks front court are too much to overcome
4/11 - Kings @ Pistons
Kings - Best team in the Sim League keeps on rollin
4/12 - Knicks @ Pacers
Pacers - Fuck the Knicks
4/13 - Kings @ Warriors
Warriors - Close matchup but I feel Warriors pull out a close one at home
4/14 - Pistons @ Nets
Nets - Homer pick sure but Nets need this game to get back in the playoffs and prove they can win in case this is a playoff matchup
**Wildcard 4/13 - Bucks @ Raptors**
Bucks - Raptors need a win to stay in 8th and a chance at improving position but the Bucks are too tough

4/7 - Jazz @ Spurs (Battle for Midwest 2nd Place)
Spurs – think they have been just a little bit better lately. This is honestly a tossup.
4/8 - Nets @ Celtics (Battle for 8th Seed in the East)
Celtics – I’m taking the home team here. Should be a good one.
4/9 - Clippers @ Mavericks (Clippers Race for 8th Seed)
Clippers – Mavericks are poo, and the Clip-Show has been pretty good lately with the new gameplan. Clippers by a lot.
4/10 - Bucks @ Celtics (Possible 1st Round Matchup)
Bucks – Celtics are good but they’re not as good as the Bucks when they are healthy. Can’t base this game’s outcome on the Bucks injury plagued few weeks.
4/11 - Kings @ Pistons (Battle of the #1 Seeds)
Kings – This game wasn’t close the first time they played. Pistons have a new game plan that has made their battles with their early season ass kickers better, but that 20-game win streak though. If Pistons pull this out, Magic will be the two seed.
4/12 - Knicks @ Pacers (Possible 1st Round Matchup)
Knicks – they are playing hotter than the Pacers are right now. There last two meetings ended in Knicks wins with Robinson and terrible shooting performances by the Pacers. I’ll go with Knicks.
4/13 - Kings @ Warriors (Battle for the Pacific)
Warriors – Kings have been way too hot lately and the Warriors won big the last time these teams met in Golden State. It’ll be closer, but think Warriors win this one.
4/14 - Pistons @ Nets (Possible 1st Round Matchup)
Pistons – I can’t pick against myself twice in one sim. Probably the reason that the Nets miss the playoffs. Sorry guy.
Wildcard - 4/8 - Knicks @ Pistons
Pistons - Could be a good game but this is better than me picking the Heat game I guess.

I didn't even get picked to do one of these things, I volunteered to do it and I guess that participation counted as my lone point.
