    Finally got Portland to win the championship. We beat Dallas then Oklahoma then San Antonio and we beat Orlando to win the finals. On my first try Blazers made it all the way to the western conference finals.

    I think we can still sign Dikembe Mutombo to help take them on! He took them out once, he can take them out again!!!:NOTMARIS:

    portland only have a 22% chance to beat dallas and some other % in the 20s to beat utah kinda kills the thing. those percentages are way off.

    The Utah Jazz just beat the Cavs to win the Championship twice out of five times for me. Dear God, that would end the NBA.

    Well considering Portland has beat Utah 0% of the time this season, and Dallas 100% of the time this season, I think they have some adjustments to make.

    I would point out that the last team to sweep Dallas in the regular season (Golden State) also took them out in the playoffs quite handily.

    ESPN simulations are dumb. They let me down when the draft simulation said the blazers would take Chase Budinger! Damn!

    I remember the day of the lotto in 2006... the simulator was going nuts for me, giving us the #1 pick 5 times out of 10 a few minutes before the lotto show came on TV. Happened for some others too, as I recall. We all were laughing on the board "wouldn't it be cool if..."

    :cheers: I still love THE big guy and he WILL return. :cheers:

    4th try, we lost to the Cavs in the finals (only had an 8% chance of winning that according to the sim)

    after clicking it a few dozen times with the "Accuscore" option selected, I ended up with Spurs v Blazers matchup in the WCF... ESPN even has the 8th seed a 62 to 38 % favorite to advance over Portland (which they did) despite being the road team.

    what exactly are they basing this on other then their druthers?

    My first try was Blazers over Mavs (in an upset), over the Thunder (another upset, and OKC pulled the upset), and then lost to the Spurs (PDX is an underdog).

    I hate Portland's odds against Phoenix, LAL, Utah, and Denver, but I'd take us over Dallas, OKC, and SAS no question.

    All of which is to say that it is based on their druthers.
