Re: 2013-14 #SLOE Pick'em - Sim 2 - Due 5pm Central 3/22
Question 1: Name a team with a winning (>.500) record currently, that will have a losing record this sim. Warriors
The Blazers/Clippers 2x/Nuggets/Sonics road trip looks to be absolutely brutal, which makes it easier for the Lakers and 76ers to steal a game. 3-4.
Question 2: Name a team with a losing (<.500) record currently, that will have a winning record this sim. 76ers
Every game on their schedule is winnable, and their victory over the Sonics last sim shows that the Sixers aren't to be dismissed as average just yet.
Question 3: Which player will be leading the league in FG% at the end of this sim? David Lee
Just gonna go with the current leader, since it's kind of a crapshoot early on.
Question 4: Will any team go undefeated this sim? No
Question 5: If so, which team?
...didn't you hear what I just said?
Question 6: Will any team go winless this sim? Yes
Question 7: If so, which team? Mavericks
Even though they won't exactly be facing the toughest teams, very few of them are complete pushovers...and the Mavs' start doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
Question 8: There are currently 6 teams without a home loss, at the end of the sim, how many will there be left? 2
I'm going with the Spurs and Pacers to be the only home unbeatens after this sim. Cavs, Wolves, Suns, and Hornets is just too favorable a schedule to bet against for the Pacers, and the Spurs only have the Suns to deal with should they beat the Clippers.
Question 9: The Blazers just lost Ron Artest to a broken leg, they play 7 games this sim, will they have a winning or losing record? Winning
Losing Ron seems like a major loss, until you remember what happened last season. Rose has started off the season with MVP-level play, and that makes the Blazers a legit threat every night.
Sim Pick'em, worth $100 each
Game 1: 11/16 - Celtics @ Pistons
Hawes can theoretically slow Davis or Aldridge down some, but the Pistons can't say the same for Wall, Dudley, and JR.
Game 2: 11/18 - Clippers @ Spurs
No DJ White means the Clips have no hope of stopping Josh Smith at home.
Game 3: 11/22 - Warriors @ Sonics
I'm not sold on the Sonics at all, but the Warriors will be in the midst of a grueling road trip, leaving them very vulnerable.
Game 4: 11/25 - Pacers @ Wizards
Can't pick against myself at home, simple as that.
Game 5: 11/30 - Nuggets @ Hawks
The Nuggets have once again proven themselves to be unexpectedly strong, but it's hard to bet against the Hawks on their floor.

While I don't think our undefeated home streak will last, this one should be easy. Unlike the matchup on 11/16/13, we won't be coming off of a tough game against a top team. Also, that game will serve as practice for this game if we lose.
