    Why do losses count more than wins?
    There’s no guarantee the team that played less games would win those.

    All I’m saying is it’s not an even playing field

    why do numerous more losses count more than 1 win?

    boy what a question.

    Why does lossing several times more count more than winning 1 more

    No you literally said seedings are based off win percentage, that is false, period. Every season playing an 82 game schedule, win/loss column is what decided standings

    They have been in the NFL when teams tie games and seeding goes based on win %

    Right now if season ended, Dallas could 45-29
    Okc would be 43-27

    That’s two games either way but OKC would have higher win percentage. Why does two games either way matter?

    Lol, my point is during uncommon circumstances, like tie games and COVID, win % is the way to do it.

    I actually agree lol, I was asking if this scenario was confirmed by league. I can see teams/fans wondering.

    If we played more games and had 2 more wins and 2 more losses than a team that was higher seeded, there would be questions

    the season wouldn't end that way because okc hasn't even played as many games as dallas has. that's the point. everyone has the 8 games played from the beginning

    Jesus, at the end of the season Dallas will have played more games than any other western conference team. One more time, at the end of the “seeding” games, there will be discrepancies in the total number of games played by all teams. There will not be an equal amount of games played

    doesn't matter. you tried to skew your question to an uneven playing field when it isn't. Okc has only played 6 games in the bubble. While dallas has played 7. you're over here crying about spoiled milk

    The 8 games do not matter, it’s not a micro season of 8 games. The other games pre Covid still count towards season record lol.

    In that hypothetical I proposed, even if Dallas and OKC won out with same amount of games played, Dallas would still have more wins and more losses. Their win percentage would be lower because they played more games, but they would still have more wins than a team higher seeded than them.

    God damn dude, are you that dense? You are the one that brought up 8 games smh. I said season record and seedings. These 8 games don’t decide who is where lol. If that was the case Bucks and Lakers have losing records in the bubble, are they going to drop seeds?

    actually it's just you who is crying over something thats pretty much is known by everyone else.

    when you get a chance go look at every single season and look at that win% column. notice how it's in descending order in the standings. that's your free game for the day. tell your friends about your new revelation

    Jazz do not match up and have zero chance vs houston

    They will tank if they have to to stay at 6 and play denver
