    Don’t the Mavs only have one game left? If that’s the case and they win it they’ll have a win % of 587. OKC has 2 games left and even if they lose both they’ll have a better win % than Dallas so the Mavs can’t pass OKC in the standings.

    I don’t understand what you don’t understand. This isn’t hard. It isn’t an even playing field in terms of games played. Win percentages will be off compared to wins.

    Yes, but Dallas will still have played 3 more games than OKC overall

    And in that scenario they would have won more games too, win more and lose more. Because they played more games

    I have no idea why you’re bothered about a question you obviously don’t understand.

    When has there ever been a discrepancy in games played? Literally there has never been a season where win percentage has decided standings, except when records are tied

    Take off the Houston homer glasses and look at it from a macro perspective, if this was us and we had more wins than a team above us in standings, people would be pissed

    when has the season ever paused because of covid? win % has always determined standings. seriously what planet are you on. born yesterday?

    You do know there's a discrepancy in games played when the games are actually in season. that standings reflect exactly what is going on now.

    what in the world does homer glasses have anything to do with this. seriously you need to do your research. you're way off tangent with everything here. something so extremely basic shouldn't be this difficult to understand

    no i wouldn't be pissed. you loss more games. that's your own fault

    Yes, in season standings are affected by win percentage. But there’s always an end game where there will be same amount of games played. So no, no seedings have ever been decided by win percentage.

    Yes, lost more games but also won more games. So only the losses count? Not the fact you have more wins?

    But we would also have more losses. Now if we had more wins and less losses and still be seeded lower then we’d be pissed lol.

    losses sure do count when it outweighs the wins. you're talking about homer goggles. put on some simple logic goggles

    Not saying this season is the same. I asked a pretty simple question and you answered with false answers. Seedings have never been based off win percentage at end of a season. It’s win/loss record.
    I was just curious if someone knew the answer to the off chance a team had more wins and more losses because of games played would be lower or higher seeding.

    Win percentage or total wins

    LMFAO false answers. This is reality. Those answers are correct. It's false to you because you have no clue what you're talking about. that's a you problem who obviously needs some research to do

    your win% goes with your record. how that is so hard to understand for you is beyond me
