I'm not. I've already determined that the accuracy of the formula is good enough. But I'm saying that it is possible to make an educated guess...
We'll know if the Jazz win or lose tonight. If they happen to win, its not a sure thing that we get them if we beat the Mavs. The Blazers still...
This is a pet peeve of mind, people expect methods backed by math/science/programming to be a lot more accurate than regular methods. Why? I would...
What do you mean what is the point? Ask any of the people that wait for him to update the results after every game. Just because you can't...
The point is you look at the western conference placement probabilities and go "oh hey, we're about even odds to get any of the 2-5 spots". You...
I think a #2 Rockets > Spurs > Blazers scenario is impossible. The Blazers have the tie breaker over the Spurs. And the Blazers also have to beat...
You are reading it like the largest probability is the prediction, but that doesn't really have much bearing on how right or wrong the simulator...
From their perspective, they could probably care less if Houston has a well rested Yao for the NBA season. As long as he's still collecting checks...
Ok.. but say the Spurs beat the Warriors (pretty likely). That Kings loss wouldn't have changed anything. Here are the scenarios: Assuming the...
The one outcome is the results at the end of the season. Unless you are talking about each teams end result being a single outcome. So its...
This loss essentially had no bearing on the Rockets position in the playoffs. They would have to have also lost to the Warriors for this loss to...

winner of 1-8 plays 4-5 winner of 2-7 plays 3-6
Its probably going to be the difference between playing Denver (if they are 7th), and playing the Blazers/Spurs (if they are 6th). Again, this is...
I saw, but I've seen people have to explain it multiple times to different people. You might know it, but someone else might not. And no one has...
Man... looking back at that Spurs game we won. It's the difference between us in a potential 2nd seed these last two games and us being almost a...
He has basically no range, there aren't that many PFs out there with decent offensive ability but no jumpshot. But there are plenty of Cs that fit...
Its because of the tiebreaker. Right now we are tied in head to head, the next tiebreaker is division record, which we are tied in the loss column...
The Rockets are in the perfect playoff position IMO. If we lose 1 of these games, we're most likely playing the lesser of Portland or San Antonio....
If they say Yao is playing, that means that they aren't worried about him injuring it more. We can't afford to coast to the playoffs when the #2...
