Re: Official NBA Season Thread
If we want to figure out which team was the best in the regular season, don't we want to take into account injuries?
Also, yeah, garbage time counts. Unfortunately, Point differential correlates with future win % MORE than win % does. And it's not like it was a small difference. The Spurs were a full point better than the Suns and the Mavs. Also, I'm pretty sure the Spurs were the favorite heading into the WCF despite the Suns having HFA? Anyone care to explain why that happened except the Spurs were the better team? |

Re: Official NBA Season Thread
3. I don't think anyone is using the fact that the Spurs won in the playoffs to presume that they were the best team in the NBA last season. That would make me hypocritical. But it certainly doesn't help your argument to say that the Spurs won the playoffs (which admittedly, can be a pretty significant sample size), so the Mavs and Suns are better?
2. This is the same as the wins argument. The team that wins the most in the regular season is not always the best team. It usually is, but I mean, PF-PA is a better stat for this type of stuff. It really is. |

[/ QUOTE ] NOPE, Suns were significant favorites before the series. Suns were also significant favorites after game 4 before the suspensions were announced, then were significant dogs after they were announced. Any other questions? |

Re: Official NBA Season Thread
tuq-
Despite being a huge Spurs homer, I agree with you that luck played a large part in the Spurs winning last year. Just as it did the year before when Miami won, and the year before that, and the year before that... But I've said it before and I'll say it again: Stop raising the Mavs up so much. They couldn't get past an eight seed, they don't deserve to be mentioned in talks about beating the Spurs or Suns later in the playoffs. They have to earn it, and they didn't. |

Re: Official NBA Season Thread
Hey, what do you think of this bet? My friend wants Texas, I get rest of NBA. he's offering 1:1. Is this a good bet for me? (I was thinking no, actually, which is sick, but to me Spurs ~22%, Mavs ~18%, Rockets ~14%, so I'd be taking the short end of it) Would anyone here take it?
