Jason Kidd vs Chauncey Billups: 14/6/9 | 13/5/7 Edge: Jason Kidd Stephen Jackson vs Dwyane Wade 10/6/2 | 28/7/5
Edge: Dwyane Wade Rashard Lewis vs Richard Hamilton 21/6/3 | 15/5/4
Edge: Rashard Lewis Key Matchup Jermaine O'Neal vs Kevin Garnett 27/11/2 | 24/12/4 Edge: So close but, Jermaine O'Neal Nenad Krstic vs Zydrunas Ilgauskas 11/7/1 | 13/10/2 Edge: Zydrunas Ilgauskas Finals Prediction: Clippers in 7 Just a little too much for Boston right now, so unless LA loses a starter to injury they should take this one. I would put some writing in there but, dont really feel like writing anything today.

If the Clips actually beat LA, I will "Officially" hate FBB. All too often like a 6-8 seed wins the Championship. The Spurs have been the best team in the west all season long, Clips win. Then I was the 3 seed and I lose, now if the Celtics lose, it will just reiterate my point that FBB is strictly a coin toss within a program. I mean the Celtics have been the #1 seed all season long. Cant wait to see what happens....

The reason it happens so oftern is that so many trades happen in the game. Look at the starting five now, Krstic/O'Neal/Jackson/Lewis/Kidd, how long was that team together to be solid enough to get a high seed?

They would have been first seed if Kidd didn't get hurt so early...hes only played 41 games.

OK, so why did the 2 seed lose to the 7 seed on both brackets?? Maybe the Clips have a legit argument b/c Kidd has been out til now, but why so often do high seeds lose early in the playoffs?
And an injury would affect the team, but trades dont happen after day 100. So that leaves about 20-30 days after the deadline, so if a team has been top 5 ALL YEAR long, how the hell do they lose to a team that has been borderline playoffs all season?

With the amount of trades happening in these leagues, teams are never really the same.

I think thats a cop out, b/c the game is a SIM, its flawed!
I mean the Pistons last major trade was on Dec. 2nd. Since then the Cavs made a couple moves to actually make their team better and had a couple VERY good last sims with their new team.
So why in hell did the Cavs lose? Why did the Spurs lose? They havent made many moves at all and had the same team for a long time. The Rockets made 1 big move to get ZBo and now they are better than the team that has been the 1 seed all season? And they beat the Spurs in 6??

Cavs - They lost because they didn't have the height at SG to matchup against Prince and that height difference took a lot of points away Spurs - They lost because they didn't have another big to matchup with Ming and also Manu and Parker never had good games together so it was basically Ming, Randolph & Artest vs Duncan & Parker or Manu....
so it can all be summed up by saying the loosing team didn't do their DC's right so the bad match-ups killed them

In the playoffs its ALL about match-ups and they just didn't match-up well against the other team.

True, b/c over the first 82 games matchups killed them... I mean how many times did SA play HOU and win? Again FBB is basically a simulated coin toss. You can look at any league on the net and look at their playoffs and almost every league has some 7/8 go at least to the 2nd round if not a conf finals.

The season is different then the playoffs though. During the season your matchups are different every night. Playoffs you play ONE team 5-6-7 games in a row.
In real life GS barely made the playoffs yet knocked of Dallas who had the best record in the league.
Detroit has been to 5 straight ECF yet only won twice.
The higher seeds dont always win. Yes it happens alot in FBB but I really think cause teams and matchups Dcharts ect change so often that the seedings at the end of a season are a really hard way of telling who is the best team. Unless you have a just crazy stacked team. All in all It has its flaws but its still better then any other Sim engine out there.
