Does anyone know if whatifsports uses point differential as a factor in determining who would win a series?

Jason, good point. Bowen completely eluded me for some reason (9.7fga is still somewhat preposterous IMO), probably because Bowen was somewhat invisible in his last couple seasons on both ends of the floor.

Well, Bowen would cover Magic. Tony would be on Scott. That would leave Manu to try to cover Worthy or Green. A no-go match-up at both ends. Actually both teams pose problems. Is AC supposed to have the size to match up with Duncan? Cooper is a good cover for Manu, and they can hide Magic on Bowen, but no way can Scott keep Parker out of the paint. I think with Magic and Kareem, LA would have a better chance to get some easy transition and low post buckets and win it that way, but it might be tougher than we'd assume from the reputations involved.

Yeah, no way the Miami series is going 7 games. SMFH @ how bad the Spurs beat the Lakers, that's appauling. Anybody care to imagine how Tony Parker is going to hold Magic Johnson to 9.4FGA per game?

I just can't see anything but the Lakers running the Spurs out of the building.

Also just noticed how badly 2005 San Antonio beat the 1985 Lakers. Agree to disagree on that count too.

The long difficult '93 Bulls v. '02 Lakers sounds about right. I think the 1996 Bulls would have mauled the 2006 Heat. They did sweep the Magic who were pretty similar to those Heat.

MJ's free throw attempt total in the 4 game sweep by LA = 9. He averaged 9 (8.6) free throw attempts per game in the 1992 playoffs.

It would be funny if the 1993 Bulls team wound up beating the 2009 Lakers since it was essentially the same team as the 1992 group with worse health and team chemistry.

I think that series unequivocally proves that Kobe Bryant is superior to Michael Jordan.

lol, just kidding..
Does seem kind of weird MJ gets 2 points, even having to deal with foul trouble.

Made no sense to me, either, but what can you do? Take it up with Whatifsports.
