Against .500+ teams. The only teams better then us against .500+ teams are the lakers, celtics, and cavs.
Maybe my math isn't good, but do we have the 5th best record againt .500+ win teams when the only teams ahead of us are Lakers, Cavs, Celtics.
Dude you need to watch more sesame street. There's a vampire there who can help you out with your problem...
This statistic bodes very well for our playoffs chances. Contrary to the team when JVG coached, where we beat the teams we were supposed to, and generally lost to better teams... This year's squad has come out to play against the big boys but lost focus against much lesser teams. This means the talent and potential is present (not so much with the JVG squads) but the consistent execution hasn't yet been there. The recent beatdowns of lower-tier teams means that 48 minutes of focus is starting to happen.
So basically we sucked against bad teams... We had so many missed opportunities this year...too many fake Philadelphia games. But it's time to move on...let's just keep winning now.

Hey now, hey now. I happily attend UT and it's doing pretty well in the current academic national rankings.
