Great website

I'm not sure if anyone here knows, but there is an amazing simulation sports website called whatifsports. You can match up any teams from any era and it will even generate a play-by-play for an entire game. For example, I set up a game between the 07-08 Blazers (08-09 is not available yet) and the '96-97 bulls. LMA dominated but we lost a close one. There are also sim-leagues and dynasty games you can join, but that costs money. In the dynasty games you are a coach of either a college bball or basketball team and you make every decision...even how much practice time you allot for each player to work on specific skills. Besides Blazer's Edge of course, this is the best website for the die-hard sports fan. Check it out.

You gotta be really into sports and have a lot of free time

But what the heck. It beats reading the news in post-democracy America.

Winning is everything.

Playoff Series

I simulated a first round series vs. Dallas and we got swept, got it handed to us in each game (once by forty two points!). We only put up a fight in game four, but it was too little too late. I think this website is a little out of touch.

I took nerdiness a step further

I made a best of seven series between the 90-91 Blazer team that lost in the WCF to the L@kers vs the 99-00 Blazers who lost in the WCF to the L@kers, where the 90-91 Team had home court advantage in a 2-2-1-1-1 format. The 90-91 Blazers went up 3 games to none, and the 99-00 team won 4 games in a row to win the series. Most of the games were competitive except for game 7, which 00-99 won by 37.

I found it ironic that the 90-91 team still choked, and the 99-00 team actually came back from a 3-1 deficit.

Some of my favorite highlights in the play-by-play were:
1. Danny Young blocks Detlef Schremp
2. Clyde Drexler “clanks” the 20 ft shot
3. Jarrett Jack steps on the baseline.

Can I buy you a fish sandwich?
