The game of my youth — @StratOMatic — has simulated the remaining 20 percent of the NBA’s regular season and will begin simulating playoff games on Saturday (when the actual playoffs were supposed to start). Details here

In the @StratOMatic simulation … New Orleans beat out Memphis for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West -- helped along by a 59-point, 12-rebound, 15-assist eruption from @Jrue_Holiday11 in a win over San Antonio -- to set up @Zionwilliamson vs. @KingJames in Round 1
