SB Nation had a good thing going, picking winners of the first round of the NBA Playoffs using awful games like Bill Laimbeerās Combat Basketball and IN THE ZONE ā98. But then the Miami-Philadelphia series was simulated using Streets of Rage. Streets of Rage is not a crappy video game.
See the link for the whole thing ā with video ā but writer Jon Boisā best laugh lines are his ākeys to the gameā for Oklahoma City and Denver, simulated using Barkley Shut Up and Jam.

⢠Shut up as well as jam.
⢠Be quiet in addition to jam.
⢠Remain silent, lest jam be delayed or canceled altogether.
