The new NBA season tips off on Tuesday, meaning it’s time to force-feed everyone predictions and projections that will mean absolutely nothing at season’s end! Hooray!

These predictions in particular come courtesy of “NBA 2K16”. I simulated a season and ended up with these results. Overall, they seem fairly realistic. Certain playoff teams and seedings, along with an award or two, might be slight surprises. Overall, not too shabby for, you know, a video game.

AND THERE ARE (poor quality) PICTURES!
