I've been working on my own simulation engine using NBA.com/synergy tracking numbers plus line up plus minus stats etc. As well as some of my own opinion of course. It's pretty crude for now but I did 1600 simulations today and obviously the warriors came out the champions the most often, followed by spurs and Cavs.
The reason I'm posting tho is the Blazers have a legit chance to upset the clippers and might even give the dubs a series. They did really well especially when they went small with Crabbe and Aminu at the 3 and 4. And also the grizzlies literally have no shot, but everyone know that already. In fact I'd say it's more likely the Jazz somehow make the playoffs and advance than the grizzlies do.
