With the NBA regular season winding down and the playoff soon to start, you've probably already started handicapping potential match-ups and who has the better chance of winning the 2015 NBA title. If you need a glimpse into what could be the future, you should get the ZCode Playoff Bracket Predictor.
The Playoff Simulator also covers playoff bracket match-ups for NHL, NCAA Basketball, NFL and MLB. Just click on the sports that you wish to run a simulation and then click "Simulate."
As you can see above, based on current data and dozens of parameters, the simulation is predicting that the Chicago Bulls and the Trail Blazers will eventually make it all the way into the 2015 NBA Finals. It then proceed in predicting the Bulls will defeat the Blazers 4 - 2. This is based on current records and parameters that measures all team strength plus their current records and how they match-up against each other.
According to the simulation, the Bulls will defeat the Bucks, Cavs and the Hawks before reaching the Finals. I'm not sure whether I agree with the Bulls defeating Lebron James and the re-emerging Cleveland Cavaliers, but it's not impossible. Just can't explain why this particular simulation find it so easy for the Bulls to so easily dispatch Cleveland in 5 games.
The closer we get to the playoff, the more accurate the simulator will be since everything is still not set in stone yet, so the Bulls/Cavs result could still change based on how each teams does with their remaining regular season games and seeding positioning.
The current simulation on the picture above that is predicting the Bulls as NBA Champion may still change, particularly if they were to go on a losing streak or any other negative parameters like injuries to key players.
