Day 85 Over/Under Achievers
Day 85 Over/Under Achievers
What's up SLN fam! I'm back with over/under achievers comparing point differential to win %. As of Day 85, there is definitely a larger discrepancy between win % and point differential than usual:
Overachievers (difference of 2 or more places):
The Jazz, 76ers, Rockets, Trail Blazers, Suns, Heat, and Bulls... a lot of overachievers this season but by very little. Some teams have had injury misfortunes like the 76ers and most of these teams have made big trades during the season and still finding their footing. The one large overachiever this season has been the Rockets and it's mostly because of their home heavy schedule thus far.
Underachievers (difference of 2 or more places):
The Spurs, Pistons, Kings, Hawks, Raptors. The Spurs may have the most talent in the league and it shows by their point differential; the Pistons as well led by Kyrie. Kings and Hawks made a big in-season trade between the two and both should be winning more. Finally, what is happening in Toronto -- the 12th best point differential but an under .500 win %... make it make sense.
A league of their own:
The Nuggets, Pacers, and Bucks are tier 1 teams this season all still sporting a double digit point differential. As a midwest loyalist, I have to ask... is the central the best division this season?

Our season has made no modicum of sense, had there been no frenzy my guess is I would have stood pat a bit more, but sometimes the universe tells you that it's a bad idea to keep trying lol
we're first in FG% and second in 3P% but we get lit up defensively and it's just been more bad than good

We have gotten extremely lucky in close games this season but I wouldnt consider 25 home games and 27 away games a home heavy schedule thus far!

Pistons schedule has been somewhat away-heavy (34 away vs. 26 home) and our home record is good (22-4), so I’m hoping our win% starts to tick up in the home stretch here
