@@Luisath-rg9bl actually this would cause the lakers would have gone through the play in to win championship in 2016 all the Cavs did was come back from 3-1 there was no play in format

From no hopes of making to the playoffs to turning there season around by qualifying to the play-in and winning a ring would be crazy satisfying

i mean having the lakers beat the warriors is very dumb. i think the grizzlies could probably knock them out to be honest. and if they make it to the Suns, KD is locking up Bron no cap. KD trying to still write his legacy. Lakers are so overrated right now.
I think the Lakers have an easier path to the WCF compared to other teams. Grizzlies with no Steven Adams so AD and Bron can work to get JJJ in foul trouble quicker and then dominate the interior. I think the kings will beat the warriors and then the lakers beat the kings in 6. Idk if the lakers would beat the suns though. I think they would prefer the nuggets in the WCF rather than the suns but I think suns with KD > nuggets
Fr especially the Clippers Because they could win vs Suns and then go up against Nuggets and then Lakers then maybe NBA Finals against most likely the Bucks and they don't have PG13 bc we don't know if he's going to return
This is going to be one of the best playoffs ever. Every team bar Nets has atleast 1 star player. Never has there been this much parity in the NBA… I just pray there are no injuries.
I love it I love it I love it great simulation just because I’m a LeBron James fan and your voice always gets me going. I was so hyped for this. Great job young man
@@sneakyninja0866 it doesn’t seem very accurate at all as Heat &Pelicans already lost the play in. The dude needs to keel himself. Waste of time and energy.
I really think that the Suns have a chance to win the finals this year. They have a very well rounded team and I could see their future with a NBA championship trophy.Adding KD was a huge move.I just can’t see anyone beating KD, d book, and cp3
I'm almost 50 years old 😂 and just subscribed. Last night when I found out the seeding was in place I searched your channel for this exact video. I appreciate you nephew for keeping me keep my young self in tact. 2k hard to the core fan. The last one I played was '14. Put me in the game with a 2k14 2023 play in/playoff sim. I've seen your work and know you can do it 👍👍😁😁.
If the tournament plays out like this, it will be the hardest path to a championship ever. The Lakers, who started out 2-10 would have been forced to fight back to a 43-39 record just to make the play-in tournament and would have to overcome 3 former league MVP's, 10 former All-NBA selections, 11 future hall of famers and 17 former All-Stars. Not only this but every team they would have faced in the play-in tournament and playoffs would have more former all-stars on their teams than the Lakers do. The Timberwolves have three all-stars, Grizzlies also have three, Warriors have five, Suns have four and Bucks have three meanwhile Lebron and AD are the only two All-Stars on their team. This would be the hardest championship in history.
As both an LBJ fan and Russ fan I would both love and hate this. This would arguably be Lebron's greatest title run ever but the amount of slander Russ would get from not only getting bounced in the 1st round again but the Lakers also winning the title after trading him would eclipse any slander he's ever gotten in his career
This video isn't what I thought it would go, I had my warriors beating the grizzlies in 6 and proceed to beat the nuggets in 5 in the WCF and proceed to beat the bucks in 7 in the finals
Round 1: Bucks 4-1 vs Bulls. Cavaliers 4-2 vs Knicks. 76ers 4-1 vs Nets. Celtics 4-2 vs Heat. Nuggets 4-2 vs Timberwolves. Suns 4-2 vs Clippers. Lakers 4-3 vs Grizzlies. Warriors 4-1 vs Kings. Round 2: Bucks 4-2 vs Cavaliers. Celtics 4-3 vs 76ers. Suns 4-2 vs Nuggets. Warriors 4-3 vs Lakers. Round 3: Bucks 4-3 vs Celtics. Suns 4-3 vs Warriors. NBA Finals: Suns 4-3 vs Bucks.
So many upsets in this simulation. The Lakers shocked everyone by beating Phoenix Memphis and Golden State. Probably not gonna happen irl. It would be crazy if that would happen.
Today in playoff mode as the lakers I only played 2 games of the 1st round against Memphis, attempted one vs GS and PHX in semifinals and conference finals, respectfully. Now I saved the 1st quarter in a renewed finals rivalry against the Celtics. Really wanted the kings in the second round though lol
Finally someone says it. I have to nerf that team for more accurate sim results because they upset the celtics and bucks every fucking time. Trey as a 90 Ovr surrounded by mid 80s is not championship material
I had the king's against the Lakers in the CSF, then the sun's in the other western CSF, then Cleveland and the bucks and Philly and Miami. Then, Philly wins the ECF, and the king's winning the WCF. Then I had Philly winning the chip, making Embiid be MVP and finals mvp
@@r0cky_2010 There are simulation sliders to tweak say whether the point distribution is leaning top performers or that there are less fouls drawn in the game, sliders can erase some irregularities in 2k

Howcome the Bucks can never win any of these simulations?? It's always Golden State, the Lakers, or Boston....
2K almost predicted the actual score for the balls and Raptors game, just two points off the actual score was 109 to 107 bulls
Just finna say the same thing
This will happen in real life 🔥🔥🔥

You should do a video where you get rid of every 90 Overall player and simulate the playoffs
Bro I got chills seeing this, I really hope the lakers win it somehow
Been waiting for this video for months
The suns always get screwed in these sims 😭
I think by watching the game it breaks the sim, booker all the sudden has someone guarding him on his jumper and it lowers the accuracy
Same with the nuggets

Lakers in Play-In tournament can they do better as a 7th seed
Absolutely they can take grizzlies in 6 then they play either warriors or kings which are easier opponents than suns and clippers
@@ScienceFacts10 We'll see what happens
health is the only thing that can hinder their progress. An old lebron and a glass AD (as usual) you just never know
As A laker fan big w
Skip bayless would be foaming at the mouth over those late game free throws from LeBron against the suns😂😂
After so many simulations, finally a chip was given to the Lakers ❤️
This is going to be a wild playoffs I think the finals Matchup will be Celtics vs grizzlies with the Celtics winning.
This the one
No way
Yes they already blew out the bucks
12:55 bro said this would never happen 😂😂😂😂
As both an LBJ fan and Russ fan I would both love and hate this.

He would get a ring tho 🤣🤣🤷🏻♂️
First! Appreciate ur vids bro
thanks my guy!
I'm a big Jordan fan but if somehow Lakers really do this Goat debate is over
As a LA resident and Laker fan I approve this scenario😂
Been waiting for this 🫡
This video isn't what I thought it would go, I had my warriors beating the grizzlies in 6 and proceed to beat the nuggets in 5 in the WCF and proceed to beat the bucks in 7 in the finals
i agree mostly, but the suns will beat the nuggets and it will be suns vs warriors in the WCF, and that series can go either way.
Warriors vs Bucks, Warriors in 7
(I’m a Warriors fan)
Edit: That would never happen
Here after Curry dropped 50 to eliminate the Kings in game 7
Round 1:
Bucks 4-1 vs Bulls.
Cavaliers 4-2 vs Knicks.
76ers 4-1 vs Nets.
Celtics 4-2 vs Heat.
Nuggets 4-2 vs Timberwolves.
Suns 4-2 vs Clippers.
Lakers 4-3 vs Grizzlies.
Warriors 4-1 vs Kings.
Round 2:
Bucks 4-2 vs Cavaliers.
Celtics 4-3 vs 76ers.
Suns 4-2 vs Nuggets.
Warriors 4-3 vs Lakers.
Round 3:
Bucks 4-3 vs Celtics.
Suns 4-3 vs Warriors.
NBA Finals:
Suns 4-3 vs Bucks.
