Dem 'Lytics Been Good to a Morey - FiveThirtyEight Release NBA Projections, Rockets W Clips L, more

[NoHalfWay]

The Coli almost burned to the ground this time last year when 538 and espn had Denver getting home court. Now they got us as #2 and nobody has problems with it. We’ve arrived

Most definitely

Wouldn’t be shocked if they made the Western Conference Finals.

That title is just so cringe especially coming for this cac/possible Asian? Anyway the rankings for the west is laughable. The jazz and warriors aren’t better then the clippers. The rockets being 1st is a joke when their roster is pretty much the same even with the trade(and I personally think Westbrook won’t work with Harden and within 3antoni system. The Kings barely missed the playoffs last year, improved this offseason, but now will be the worst? And how many times people gonna keep sleeping on pops? Silver should stick to getting politics wrong

After Carmelo got sat down the Rockets won at a 62 win pace.

 

[Guess Who]

Pacers are gonna be way better than 39-43

Pacers will finish third in the east. Top 5 in the east in this order:

Philly
Bucks
Pacers
Raps
Celtics

That’s my prediction.

So the spurs got a serviceable backup wing...bringing back a young guard who had a breakout year...bringing back an ALL DEFENSIVE TEAM caliber guard...and will be playing a guy who was at least so good at summer league he was toward the top in all scoring metrics and he only played half the games...

And they are going to be 10 wins WORST than last year...

OKC got worse...on purpose...in every conceivable way...but they still going to win half their games...

Like...this is the quintessential definition of cac shyt...

Their should be a link to this projection as the definition of cac shyt...

This thing says it accounts for the usage rate of a player in previous seasons...right off the bat how does it account for the usage rate of a rookie...

Zion is going to get a lot of minutes with the pelicans so how does this model calculate what his usage rate is if he doesn't have a previous one at the nba level?

"Algorithimitically generates depth charts for every team in every game"...

Or you could just trend coaches and teams depth charts for X amount of years and apply an average...maybe that is what they mean but they sure didn't say that...

West is much better. Hell in their division alone Pels and Mavs improved
