NBA 2K11 First Round Playoffs Sim
by 
The first round of the NBA Playoffs begins today and so I’ve taken NBA 2K11, set up the brackets, and simmed through to produce the predicted results. NBA 2K11 sees all but two series going five games, and the lower seeds that came out on top all seem to be plausible outcomes. The most surprising result however would probably be the Hawks losing game one to the Magic but then running off four straight wins. Continue on for a look at the game-by-game results and the top performers for each first round matchup according to NBA 2K11!
