do the sim masters here know whether the sim automatically increases your stars' minutes for playoff games? If it does then I will continue to trust it. If it does not then I may need to do the boosts manually.

It does

Gonna sim 2 games a day each day for each conference so people can make adjustments if they want. May do both conferences same day on some days.

East Berlin vs Sofia: Berlin leads 2-0.

Kazan vs Plzen[/b]: Tied 1-1.

Krakow vs Ostrava: Krakow leads 2-0.

Dresden vs Torun: Tied 1-1.

If you look at the ROTY rankings, Bane is the best rookie in the sim by rating

yeah I was pleasantly surprised by how much the sim liked Bane, but I don't think that's quite "38mpg in playoffs" good

Keep in mind that the sim has a lot of randomness- it�s not saying that Jayson Tatum is the best player in the real life NBA, but in this one specific simulation, he�s taken The Leap where other players of his age and potential haven�t. Bane being the best rookie in this sim is the same way. If you ran the same sim 100 times, sometimes it would be Luka with Edwards as ROTY, sometimes it would be Jokic with Wiseman ROTY, etc etc. This is why the sim is fun, but it shouldn�t be the �real� conclusion of how good these teams are, unless you think that Tatum really is the best player in the NBA and should have gone first overall.

The sim also has no idea that eg Dort and Jeremi Grant are playing way better than they did last year, so when we�re voting on who has the best team, we should consider who has the best players in the real life 2021 than in the sim 2021 where Dort and Grant are still really bad.

I am going to make a bold coaching decision for the first two games of my next playoff series:

Please replace Deni in the starting lineup with Hassan Whiteside in the 5

I don�t know if the game sets positions but put Embiid at the 4 and Ingram at the 3 if it does. I want OG Anunoby to cry.
