Check this tournament out = all series best of 7 except for the play in games. I have 2 Lakers teams but they were different cores. I went all different core teams per franchises: This is all fiction but fun stuff.
#1 1987 Lakers
#8 ?
#4 2001 Lakers
#5 2017 Warriors
#2 1996 Bulls
#7 1989 Pistons
#3 1986 Celtics
#6 1983 Sixers
Play in games for the 8 seed: 1 game only,
2007 Spurs vs 2013 Heat = the winner of that gets the winner of the 1995 Rockets vs 2011 Mavericks
-1 of these 4 teams will be the 8 seed.
All games played in Indiana, why because it is a neutral site and a great arena. I am treating this like a college tourney and fair where there is no true HCA.
Ok I am bored today but this would be fun as heck to watch the outcome of this on a computer simulation. Stay healthy and be well Brethren.
