    ESPN sure does come out with some pointless stuff. I know this is all based on percentages but mine just said the Grizzlies beat the Spurs in the first round and the Atlanta Hawks go on to win the finals. I did it a second time and it has the Hornets winning the finals with the Lakers losing in the first round. Funny stuff

    I actually think this is kind of fun. I wouldn’t mind seeing someone make one of these for the NCAA tournament.

    It is just based on percentages, so yeah, if it thinks the Spurs only win 85% of the time in the first round, then 15% of the time they don’t make it out and you get the Grizzlies. 15% seems about right. There is usually a big first round upset every couple of years in the NBA. Not much more than that though. Interesting to see how the different ranking systems rate the teams slightly differently.

    They also messed up with the brackets I ended up having Kansas State playing Duke, and Ohio playing Kansas in the final 4. It really should be KState and Kansas, then Ohio and duke..SMH
