The NBA Playoffs are here, and we simmed the first round of the playoffs with NBA 2K and NBA Live to get you ahead of the game on what will happen in the first round. When you add in the insights from our basketball writers TD St. Matthew-Daniel and Dustin Toms, you have a pretty solid preview of what's set to go down in the first round. Check out who is going on and who is going home in our simulation after the jump.

Who are the (enter choice word here) doing the analysis in this column? They both sound like total (enter choice word here). Here's a word of advice for the writers - don't try to analyze unless you actually know what you're talking about, or else you just come off sounding like a couple of (enter choice word here).

A 2K10 simulation without an 8-seed upsetting a 1-seed?

The same can be said for a lot of ESPN writers. The best part of being an analysis is people love to hear your opinions. That's all it is

If you don't like it, write your' own blog. God forbid someone's opinion not be the same as yours.

I agree with some of the above posters. These guys nutshelled the playoffs terribly. You NEVER say a playoff game shouldn't even be played. Just go ahead and play the finals, then. Lakers vs. Cavs, right?

Yeah, I know LeBron is the best player and Cleveland has the best record...but I knew from jump we would not get swept. Derrick Rose is a star, and no one on the Cavs can guard him. If Hinrich and Deng continue to play well...this series might go 7.

Yeah, that was my main beef about the article, these guys, I like that term, "nutshelled" it (PAUSE) and it just comes off as lazy analysis in my eyes. Sorry if I didn't articulate that well enough in my first post, this just seemed like a analysis slapped together in 5 mins by a couple of guys who watch SportsCenter highlights and think that makes them "experts".

NBA Live - 4/8
NBA 2k - 7/8
