#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

TheSyndicate wrote:As a refresher, see the rules post at viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2271.

Each of you has $1000, make your bets by sim time Wednesday, February 24. Remember you get an extra $50 (not points) for a solid write-up.

The Bets:
$100 11/16 - Blazers @ Jazz (-7) - Jazz will cover at home. I like my team but not that much.
$100 11/17 - Sonics @ Grizzlies (Pick'em) - When two terrible teams get together, go with the home team. Both of these teams are winless on the road.
$100 11/18 - Pacers (-11) @ Cavs - Paul Pierce going against his old team is a nice story line but the Cavs don't have the post defense to stop CWebb.
$100 11/19 - Nuggets @ Raptors (-3) - Nuggets win this one as D-Wade and Chauncey have BIG nights.
$100 11/20 - Celtics @ Jazz (-1) - I'm going with the Jazz at home. Only the Kings have beat them in SLC so far.
$100 11/21 - Pistons @ Hornets - Over/Under 207 - These teams can both score but I think this turns into a defensive battle of rim protectors.
$100 11/22 - Knicks @ Mavericks, Knicks +17 at 1:1, Knicks +11 at 2:1, Knicks +4 at 3:1, Knicks to win at 4:1 - Am I the only one that was saddened by Yao's demise. The Knicks had a nice future for a while there. They get stomped in Dallas.
$100 11/23 - Kings @ Nuggets - McGrady points or KG's Pts+Boards? These Nuggets are scary, especially with their defense. I say they keep McGrady in check but lose.
$100 11/25 - T-Wolves (-3.5) @ Pistons - I think the T-Wolves cover here. I like Shaq and Bosh against Aldrige and Dwight.
$100 11/28 - Spurs @ Nets (-9) - Is the rough start for the Spurs just a fluke? I'm betting no.

Who will win Player of the Month from the West? - Always go with Timmy.
Jamison - 2/1
Bosh - 2/1
McGrady - 2/1
Tim Duncan 4/1
Field - 5/1

Who will win Player of the Month from the East? - Eh, why not?
Lewis - 1/1
Pierce - 2/1
Joe Johnson - 4/1
Boozer - 6/1
Field - 3/1

Kings record this sim: - A couple of injuries but not a particularly tough schedule.
6-0 - 4/1
5-1 - 2/1
4-2 - 1/1
3-3 - 3/1
2-4 - 6/1
1-5 - 8/1
0-6 - 20/1

$50 Will Rashard Lewis score MORE than 44 in a game this sim? - Knicks. Count it.
No - 1/2
Yes - 2/1

How much are you betting on the bottom picks? You only have $50 left to bet but you seem to have wagered nothing. Remember, the format changed this year so you don't need to spend all $1000 OR make all the picks. Refer to last sim's pick'em if you need ideas.

Thanks for the write-ups though!!

So no money on the Kings record or the Players of the month, correct?
