NBA 2K16 Predicts The NBA Season

Back when the NFL season was just starting, I ran a column on the blog where the Madden season predicted how the NFL season would play out and it was a rousing success. So, why not do it once again with the NBA season right around the corner?

NBA 2K16 is one of the best sports games available. It's easily one of the most realistic sports games out on the market which naturally means it should predict this upcoming NBA season with 100% accuracy, right? That's why I'm doing this damn thing right here......
