The NBA season is almost here, and prognosticators worldwide have made their predictions on how the 2023-24 season will play out<\/a>. However, more often than not, preseason predictions end up making analysts look like complete fools. On any given night, a professional basketball team has a chance against its opponent regardless of talent discrepancy. So, instead of making predictions based on eye tests, feelings, and confidence, Last Word on Sports has completed an NBA 2K24 season simulation. Yes, a video game simulated the entire 2023-24 NBA season, and the results may surprise you!<\/p>\n

*This simulation was conducted on the XBOX Series X version of the game on October 19th, 2023. The stream link can be found here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/videos\/1955244358<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Los Angeles Lakers (57-25)<\/li>\n
  2. Golden State Warriors (56-26)<\/li>\n

    2K really does not like the Timberwolves or the Clippers, no matter how healthy they are. Also, Portland does not seem to miss Damian Lillard at all.<\/p>\n

    Eastern Conference<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Philadelphia 76ers (56-26)<\/li>\n
    2. Miami Heat (54-28)<\/li>\n

    15. Charlotte Hornets (21-61)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Toronto is back, and NBA2K24 thinks they will make some noise in the playoffs. Also, it turns out Miami did not need Damian Lillard after all. Sixers fans better hope James Harden plays for them this season because if he does, look at the results!<\/p>\n

      Last Word on LWOS Official NBA 2K24 Season Simulation<\/h3>\n

      This season’s simulation resulted in some wild occurrences. To start from the list of trades, the Warriors trading Kevon Looney<\/a> and Dario Saric<\/a> for Russell Westbrook<\/a> and Mason Plumlee<\/a> is one of the least likely events to happen in the actual 2023-24 NBA season. The Warriors having Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, and Russell Westbrook on the same roster just seems laughable to any basketball fan. In terms of the standings, the Portland Trail Blazers were the biggest surprise finishing 49-33 and upsetting the 3rd-seeded Grizzlies in 7 games in the first round of the playoffs. The biggest disappointment was both the Los Angeles Clippers and the Minnesota Timberwolves missing the playoffs entirely. Those rosters have too much talent to go out like that in real life.<\/p>\n

      In terms of playoff results, the biggest shock was the defending champion Denver Nuggets getting swept by the Phoenix Suns in the first round. The trio of Booker, Durant, and Beal was unstoppable. The playoffs featured multiple game 7’s, and the most memorable one that was shown on Twitch was between Milwaukee and Philadelphia. James Harden hitting a stepback game-winning three was the ultimate dagger for the 76ers to move on the Conference Finals. The fact that the simulation ended with the Los Angeles Lakers winning their 18th championship, and LeBron winning his fifth ring, tying Kobe Bryant, fulfills every Lakers’ fans’ dreams and every scriptwriter’s dreams. At the end of the day, however, this was just a video game simulation that hopes to get every NBA fan pumped for Opening Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
