NBA 2K17 Season Simulation Predicts Cleveland Cavaliers to Repeat as Champions

[Steve_OS]

2K has posted their NBA 2K17 season simulation, predicting another 7 game series between the Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, with Cleveland repeating as champions.

Last year, NBA 2K16 predicted the Warriors would beat the Cavaliers in 7.

Other notes from the simulation:

• Rookie of the Year - Brandon Ingram
• Sixth Man of the Year - Brandon Knight
• KIA Defensive Player of the Year - DeAndre Jordan
• Kia Most Improved Player - Dennis Schröder
• MVP - LeBron James

What are your predictions for the upcoming season?

Did half of the Warriors get injured, or something?

With the exception of a few head-scratchers like the Bulls in the ECF, this actually seems fairly accurate to what I think will happen in real life. A lot of the seeding looks pretty spot on to predictions as well.

The crazy part is that I actually want the GSW/OKC matchup in the first round IRL.

OK, so the Celtics make it in but not the Magic....must have no love for the Magic....I'd take Ibaka, Biyambo, Vucevic, Gordon, Fournier, Payton, Green, Hezonja, Meeks over Holford, Olynyk, Crowder, Thomas, Smart and Bradley any day of the week

You'd be one of the only ones taking that then...Celtics have a real shot at being the 2-4 seed, I can't see the Magic going any higher than the 7th or 8th seed if they even make the playoffs.
