Comments on: Most Dominant Playoff Tournament: Pools B & C, Round 3 http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=5145 NBA & ABA Basketball Statistics & History Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:56:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6 By: Neil Paine http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=5145&cpage=1#comment-15745 Sat, 03 Apr 2010 23:41:41 +0000 http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=5145#comment-15745 One thing is playing time -- it's irritating when you set a rotation with a certain number of minutes in mind, and then the sim randomly plays everyone on the roster for no reason, including players who weren't even on the team during the playoffs and ones you specifically told it to give 0 minutes. In addition, there does seem to be a pretty major bias against older teams -- which may be entirely justified, but I'd like to see the numbers and the rationale first. Of course, some of that is probably just bitterness that the Russell-era Celtics were so disappointing in this tournament...

Out of curiosity's sake.

The Final Four could be 3 Bulls teams and either the 05 Spurs or the 85 Lakers. I have a lot of issues with WIS' sim engine (to the point that if I knew at the start of the tourney what I know now, I might not use it), but you still have to give it up for Jordan. 12 years after his "real" retirement (to distinguish from the Secret Suspension and whatever that was back in 2001-03), and he's still dominating.

The worst regular season record with (arguably) the best finals series of Jordan's career vs. the best regular season record (ever) with what was unarguably the worst finals series of Jordan's career.

Mavs fans would kill to be in your position.

Day of Mourning

It's a day of mourning.
