The Greatest Sims in PBSL HIstory

[kucoach7]

Anticipating tonight’s epic quadruple game 7 sims, I started wondering where this sim ranked among the greatest sims in league history. I had to do some research because, well, the Blazers are usually enjoying their summer vacation by the time the important sims are going down. You’ll notice that there is a strong bias towards game 7’s but winner-take-all games are the most exciting, most important moments Without further ado. .

10. 1997 Semifinals Games 5 & 6 - With both series tied at 2-2 in two classic 1 seed-2 seed matchups, the Mavericks and the Celtics took care of business in games 5 and 6 to reach the PBSL finals.

9. 1996 Second Round Game 7 - The Wizards prevented another Celtics title run by knocking off the Zo-less C’s in Boston. The Wiz went on the lose the PBSL finals.

8. 1990 Conference Finals Games 5 & 6 - The Mavs fell behind 3-2 before pulling off and overtime victory in game 6 at home. They then went on to win game 7 on the road. That same sim the Hawks took things up a notch by winning in 6 after being tied up with the Knicks 2-2.

7. 1998 Second Round Game 7’s - Last season both Eastern Conference quarterfinals went 7 games. The Magic pulled of their 2nd of 3 game 7 victories that postseason while Cavs destroyed the Cinderella Pistons at home to prevent a classic Bucks-Pistons Eastern Conference Finals matchup.

6. 1993 Second Round Game 7s - Both of the defending conference champions ran into trouble in the second round. The Celtics rode Zo to a 2 point victory at home against the feisty Raptors while the Lakers upset the Warriors in Oakland despite a 40 point performance by Kemp. The game 7 victories propelled each team to repeat conference championships.

5. 1995 Western Conference Finals Game 7 - In a matchup of two elite squads game 7 ended up being a 260 point shootout between the Dubs and Mavs. This ended up being the game that decided the PBSL champ, as the Warriors went on to steamroll the Celtics in the Finals. The big difference in this one was 90 combined points for Ceballos, Kemp, and Rice.

4. 1990 Second Round Game 7s - You have to go all the way back to the inaugural postseason to find another round with 3 or more game 7s. In the second round 6 teams faced off in a game 7 sim that featured both of the eventual conference champions. 3 game 7’s including the 2 eventual conference champs. The Hawks blew out the Pacers at home and the Mavs squeaked out a close one in Sacramento en route the Finals.

3. 1999 Second Round Game 7s - After a terrible sim for several of the favorites in games 3 and 4, they rebounded and took their series to 7.With 6 championship caliber teams among the 8, this will surely go down as one of the greatest sims in PBSL history.

2. 1994 PBSL Finals Game 7 - After blowing game 6 at home, the Celtics were down 55-48 at the half before storming back to win their second consecutive championship. Zo led the way with 32 points and 5 blocks.

1. 1992 PBSL Finals Game 7 - After falling behind 3-2 in Boston, the Lakers won game 6 at home to take the series to 7. LJ and KJ went off in the finale combining for 67 points, 15 rebounds, and 17 assists to win LA’s first PBSL title.

We can’t be certain how important tonight’s sim will be in the long run. Will this be Shaq’s best shot at a title? Will the Heat pull off their second tremendous upset? Is this the last gasp for the aging Mavericks and the start of a new era of Lakers dominance? Will the Kings finally break through? Is Kemp headed for his 3rd ring? Only time and a few algorithms will tell . .
