    I love how no matter what, it picks Dallas to beat Portland even though they haven't beat Portland once this year.

    Yeah, Portland never makes it out of the second round for me with any of the prefilled rankings. Lame.

    I finally got Portland to beat Dallas. Of course, we lost to the Thunder in the next round.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    On my first try, Portland upset Utah (22% chance of winning that series, or something) and then lost to Dallas in the second round. On that try, Milwaukee upset Atlanta in the first round.

    On my second try, Portland lost to Dallas in the first round (used Hollinger's playoff odds to set bracket first time and AccuScore the second time). More amusingly, Milwaukee upset the Hawks in round 1, the Magic in round 2 and the Celtics in round 3 (Celts had upset Cleveland). However, their random number generator magic ran out as they lost to the Lakers in the Finals.

    Watch out for the Bucks!

    I wish there was a way to re-simulate with our current roster. I think our chances a much better now than they were without Camby.

    Actually, it has us as an underdog against any playoff team. I put us against OKC in the 4-5, and it said OKC would win 2/3 of the time. It has us as even bigger underdogs against SA.

    Of course, it's easy to get us into the finals, if you do custom fill with the bottom 8 teams...

    I wonder if this thing actually randomizes every posession and calculates it all out. Interesting fun.

    I think the odds of each team vs each other are already calculated. But that is all, i doubt it does details, just por vs X is n% and then randoms for 1-100 of a number and if number is less than n... blah blah something like that.

    Well I hate to say it, but this simulation is totally bunk. There is no way after all the bullshit this team has suffered through this season, that if they went to the finals they would lose. :devilwink:
