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

I doubt the Knicks would be swept by the Bulls or that the Bulls would make the ECF. But other than that it seems possible.

If the Indiana Pacers stay healthy. I have them as a 2 seed and meeting Cleveland in the ECF. with Boston or Toronto being the 4th seed. Indiana will push Cleveland to 7 games before they lose.

out west I have GS meeting up with the Clippers. if both team remain healthy. I have GS winning that series in 6.

Lebron will not win more rings.

Cavs in 5 over the Warriors unless they get a rim protector and a bench.. With no more Strength In Numbers they'll be running those 4 guys into the ground unfortunately.

Two things I notice:

1. I'm going to try and not sound obviously biased, but Dallas missing the playoffs when they've established themselves as a guaranteed lock every year since 2001? They had the worst squad of the Dirk era last year and still got the 6th seed in the west. Bogut, Barnes, & a slightly more healthy Wesley will get them at least back to the 5th-6th seed.

2. Every single year it's supposed to be the "wolves year", but they end up never making the playoffs & haven't since '04.

I know this is just a simulation, but it just shows how 2k ratings don't always accurately translate to real life.

I wonder if they choked away another 3-1 lead to the Cavs.
