Wow kid, you do know that when it’s an equal number of games played and the win/loss record is done in descending order that win percentage would show that too right?
and did you know during the season while it's literally in play, there isn't a equal number of games played the descending order still operates the same exact way. more free game
If Dallas and OKC win out. And in this scenario Dallas has two more wins making their record 45-29 currently: OKC 45-27, 72 games played with .625 win percentage Dallas 46-29, 75 games played with .613 win percentage. All I was asking was since there’s never been a season in basketball where teams have played different amounts of games, would total wins mean more than win percentage.
Yes, but again we aren’t talking about in season. We’re talking about season end. There aren’t even amount of games. I know how win percentages work, it’s never decided standings though at the end of season. Win/loss record has
we are talking about in season and a season that was paused. season then resumes with the same exact number of games by every single team. There's literally not 1 scenario where this became a factor in the standings, especially when teams have chosen to throw games left and right. when you have that option you get no sympathy nor do you deserve it
I absolutely agree there. I’m not arguing that at all. All I’m saying is there’s no way to know if OKC would win the 3 games that Dallas played extra. I could see a lot of anguish over that, specially since there’s never been a season like this where it’s been a question.
Lol, WTF happened in this thread? The bubble standings rules aren't perfect - they're just a result of a compromise negotiation.
Game totals for season: Lakers-71 Clips-72 Denver-73 Rockets-72 OKC-72 Utah-72 Dallas-75 Portland-74 Mem-73 Suns-73
Seedings are always based on win percentage no matter how many games you play. Find an example of when that was not true. You won't be able to do it.
Find one outside of this year where it’s not based on Win/Loss record. There’s a reason there’s a thing called magic number
