I did this 25 times, with the current standings. The Lakers only won three times, we won twice. The Raptors upset the Cavs three times.

The last one I did had the Thunder beating the Lakers in their conference finals, Celtics beat the Magic and we won.

This is great. Did it with the current standings.

Celtics beat Cavs with only 18% chance of winning!

Celtics beat Orlando with only a 27% chance of winning.

Spurs beat us in the finals.

I can live with that. I won't use it again, lest we get knocked out earlier.

Best part -- Spurs beat Lakers in first round!

The Spurs beating the Lakers in the first round was better than the Celtics making it back to the finals?

I'm confused, would you rather have the Lakers lose then the Celtics win?

The perfect scenario.

Go C's!

Nvm it just goes right to the original page, but it had us beating the Cavs second round, Hawks confrence Finals, and the Lakers in the Finals!

Wow, the Celtics won it all on my first try this time  ;D ;D ;D ...that Cavs game on Sunday was definitely big for us. Btw they are showing the Celtics Bulls series from last season again on NBATV right now...can't wait for the playoffs.

  • Thank you Eddie!
The Lakers seemed to lose in Rd. 1 half the time when I did it.  Here's my favorite one:
Portland def. LA in Round 1
Charlotte makes it to the ECF and loses to the NBA champions...
The Celtics, who beat Phoenix for the title.

Good find. I did it multiple times and the Cavs won every single time :(. It was great to see the lakers losing to portland like 4 out or 10 times tho!

You know, that scenario (Portland beating LA) is not too far-fetched. In the outside chance that Oden comes back, they match up well with LA height-wise.

You neutralize that height of theirs, and LA is certainly beatable.

That's why even if Oden doesn't return, I like Portland's chance in a series with LA. Camby was an excellent pick-up for them.

First time I ran it we beat Miami, Cleveland, Orlando, and finally the Lakers for the title.

I'm good with that  :P.

Since Sunday's victory over the Cavs I've gotten the playoff predictor to show the Celtics winning this year's Championship over a dozen times... Even though we are still by no means the favorites to win this year we still have a very legitimate shot especially since all of our guys are still healthy going into the post-season this year...

This thing is so silly and bogus. ;D

I played it about 9 times, and of course Boston only made it to the Finals once, losing to of course the Fakers.

We got upset in first round by Miami three times, etc..

I dislike simulations. Especially from ESPN.
