Every team in that graphic, except the one just below us, has a losing record….

This is because if you lose to teams, they then have a better record. That is why Lakers and Rockets have played the “strongest schedule. If we had lost all 3 games to Phoenix, our schedule would be considered stronger.

That's because the season is still young and the SOS is skewed by your own record.

The Lakers 2-9 record means their opponents have 12 more wins than the Blazer's opponents (at 8-3) just because of the records. That differential skews the rankings.

Blazers are this high because they've played the Suns 3 times too.

Yep. Because we’re one of the only teams to beat them, the schedule stays strong for us. I hate the SOS stat.

It’s kind of amazing what happens when a team gets their short chucker shooting guard off their team.

We have Anfrenee Simmons so there is no stopping us.

Anfrenee Simmons, who hit five 3-pointers and scored 23 points for Portland, called Grant's explosive dunk, which left fans gasping, a “nail in the coffin.”

Gee. Thanks for explaining the obvious. But considering we’re 9-3 and all the teams above us have shit records, Dallas is okay, and #10 isn’t very good…. We’re doing really well.

It just hurts.....

Heavy doses of penicillin bro....did you notice how we keep beating teams WITHOUT OUR BEST PLAYERS?

 

[BankTeller]

We’re not even at our best yet. My question is, when is Ant’s shot going to come back?

I put Bucks, Celtics, and Hawks above them. They don’t have much playoff experience (they lost the play-in last year) and Mitchell has a lot to prove.
