    New York # 10 offensive rating, Indiana # 7 and Utah #14. Utah number 6 in Defensive rating, Indiana #21 and New York #16.

    I would say they aren't bad, they are great..Utah is clearly the best of the 3.

    Oh and Boston has had the Easiest Schedule so far...Forgot to mention that before..

    Are they playoffs teams though?

    I'm at 8-13 now. I don't think those teams are playoff caliber.

    Also, yes, Boston has had an easy schedule. But also faced several more injuries. I think every East team needs to be readjusted, lol. Kind of like if you played PHX multiple times.

    For what its worth GSW has had the 8th easiest and SA 12th....

    Also our correlated gaussian expected winning percentage has us at and ideal winning percentage of .785, GSW is at .757 based on our offensive and defensive numbers. If nothing changes and everything remained the same, we would be projected to be number 1, if all factors remained the same all based on given performance...but then again you feel our numbers are over inflated due to schedule/injuries..so that would be bullshit in your eyes I feel..

    Ok, GSW @ 8 and SA @ 12. SA's been without their best player and another starter the entire season, and GSW has been without KD and/or Dray for stretches, right?

    Also, GSW at 8 and SA at 12 is still TOUGHER than Houston at 2, right?

    And obviously if nothing changes we'd be #1, because we're number #1 now. That's like saying after we beat the Warriors opening night, if nothing changes we'd go 82-0 and the Warriors would go 0-82.

    And yes, your last point is correct. Our numbers are inflated(from an absolute value standpoint), not necessarily RELATIVE value due to schedule & injuries. Absolutely, I don't know why you can't agree with that given you agreed with our weak SOS and adjusted SOS, and injuries. I believe relative, too, but too many variables to figure out AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

    Sure thing. I bet we'll still be top 2 or 3, or even #1, but not as strong as we are now. Also got to see how injuries fair league-wide.

    Oh nice, brah. You'll love it here, except for the costs. Way better than Portland.

    I'm moving to Denver soon, pending final negotiations.

    Since you're in San Diego y'all should fight in Temecula.
