A cool B-Ref chart, btw. Very cool.
Basically we've been outclassed by three teams all season: Toronto (go figure), Houston (who hasn't?), and LAA. Even if you take the 1-6 vs. Toronto as bad baseball luck, we're 60-51 vs. everybody not named Astros or Angels. 60 and 51 is decently good, I will remind you.
But you get nowhere in the Western Conference of the NBA if you can't whip the Warriors. Nowhere.
If the Detroit Lions couldn't beat Lombardi's Pack, they were toast. If you can't beat the tough guys you play the most, you aren't going very far.
We haven't been able to.
And just to the left of the cool B-Ref chart there is another telling set of figures. We are 25-13 in 1 run games. james, yers ago, basically said thatover the course of a season, 1 run game W-L totals were largely a bit of luck. We've been extrodinary lucky. We're 25-13 in 1 run games.
BTW, we're 23-18 in blowouts (5+ runs). That's 48-31 if you add them together. Which makes us 21-39 in the other games.
