Alright pretty accurate then, but LA should be down to 2 out of 5 though. Can you post the box scores for GSW vs Mavs? Thanks

I did 2 rounds of playoffs. Will do the next 2 soon. Then post all of the end of the year stats.



I don't think i've ever made it out of the first round of the Simulation either

Epic 7 game series in the sim and now we're back at in the second round of the judged rounds...I think that constitutes a BAT rivalry

If it gives you any solace...this is what I submitted to bish...

Miami Heat at Atlanta Hawks

MIami Heat

G: George Hill | DJ Augustin | Tyler Ulis
G: Dwyane Wade | Gerald Green | Malik Beasley
F: Kent Bazemore | Vince Carter | Taurean Prince
F: Carmelo Anthony | Kris Humphries | Noah Vonleh
C: Andrew Bogut | Omer Asik | Cole Aldrich

Atlanta Hawks

Main Rotation
Pau Gasol (24mpg)|Robin Lopez (24)
Amir Johnson (26) | Lebron James (20) | Pau Gasol (2)
Lebron James (16) | TJ Warren (26) | Jonathon Simmons (6)
Kyle Korver (28) | Jonathon Simmons (14) | Alex Abrines (6)
Eric Bledsoe (34) | Jason Terry (14)


WINNER - Atlanta Hawks (4-3)

The most intriguing 1st Round match-up in the East. LeBron is certainly not getting an easy road to the Finals. The biggest question in this series is just how healthy will this Miami Heat ball club be rolling into these playoffs?

The George Hill / Eric Bledsoe matchup should be fun to watch. I think each will have their moments in this series, but ultimately cancel each other out, not having a significant impact on the series. It really comes down to LeBron making this a personal challenge against his two banana boat buddies. Taking this series on himself will certainly get him into trouble at times. He’s not just up against Wade/Melo, but he’s also dealing with a talented on-ball defender in Bazemore and arguably the best rim-protector in the game today when healthy. I can see the Heat, with their two closers getting the best of this series at times, they will certainly win some ball games, but fall short. It is awfully difficult to bet against the best player of our generation, who has proven time and again to deal with adversity and overcome. Ultimately, the depth of the Hawks (and lack thereof for Miami) is too much to overcome.

I had this series going 7 games. This Hawks roster is beatable, but I fear for the remainder of these playoff teams if LeBron is going to be challenged this early, going into God-mode and single-handedly putting this team on his back and willing them to victory.

Dude, don't be a sore loser. You lost fair and square, quit trying to over analyze and nitpick, Lowery & George choked just like they always do. :D

Kidding. Good game/series. :thumbsup: :beer:

On a side note, looks like Denver and the Warriors were the 2 best teams in the West, and Magic & Hawks were the 2 best teams in the East.

Finally, their were some CLASSIC close and made-for-TV endings to some of those series (ESPECIALLY in the East! :o ).

Second best defense, second best offense and LeBron took a dump on me in an epic game seven. It looked like the game wouldn't allow LeBron to lose.
