Beat the team on the board.

Spin three squads and back the one your basketball knowledge says wins. No ratings, no rosters — just names.

How Timeout works

Four calls to a final score

01

Spin

Three squads are pulled from 45 years of NBA seasons — with the opponent already on the board.

02

Trust

No ratings, no rosters. Back the squad your basketball knowledge says beats them.

03

With Stats

Want the scouting files? Flip the mode for records, stars and a sealed opponent.

04

Simulate

A full game plays out possession by possession. Did you call it?

Built for cross-era debates

Showtime vs. pace-and-space. The 90s Bulls vs. anyone.

Every squad is rated on the same scale — offense, defense, spacing, physicality, star power — so a 1966–2025 matchup is an argument you can actually settle. Want to pick both sides yourself?
