    why you crop-out the longes win streak in the NBA

    for safety? for the culture?
    for Black history month?

    been saying it since before the win streak, in response to the “this would be lucky to be a play-in team” morons. Point differential and SOS win out in the end, and both strongly indicated Rockets would be top-6.

    The streak won’t last forever, but the odds of a rise in the standing are still far better than the odds of a fall.

    I do not think they sit anywhere, they're in flux.

    I’m enjoying this year not caring about standings and enjoying my team being fun to watch. No stress, just vibes.

    Is there a way to somehow include the Mavericks' 6-game losing streak in the screenshot?

    Why do they have to play in a play in when they're 8th?
    It's those losers 9-12 that should be playing in play ins

    the idea is to get it down to 8 teams for regular playoff format, in the least amt of play-in days played as possible.

    if 9-12 are play-ins, who do they play next? You're suggesting a Play-in to Play-in, no?
    And how many games/days does it take to get down to 8.

    what they came up with is the simplest, imo
    • Just need 2 days to get to Regular Format, no more than 2 games per team

    • Game 1: Teams 7 and 8 play. Winner is 7th Seed
    • Game 2: Teams 9 and 10 play. Loser is out
    • Game 3: Loser of Game 1 v Winner of Game 2. Winner is 8th seed

    use ESPN standing, like all other Calm Down threads. :)

    Has PtDiff, and what the hell is that 1-0, 0-0, 0-1 column on the other site you're using, any how. A Yesterday column???

    They should go by ESPN power rankings so it won’t be so hard to decipher.
