something i'm working on right now. teams that play relatively well or badly vs. top teams and vs. terrible teams.

biggest differential (relatively better vs. excellent teams):

New York (11-2) 11.9
LA Clippers (7-4) 9.9
Cleveland (4-6) 9.8
Portland (8-6) 8.3
Atlanta (12-4) 5.3

biggest differential (relatively better vs. lousy teams):

Toronto (9-7) -7
Dallas (9-3) -7.2
Miami (9-1) -7.7
Sacramento (5-3) -8.1
Charlotte (3-8) -8.4
Brooklyn (12-0) -12.1 -12.1

for instance, brooklyn is #4 vs. worst 25% teams but #23 vs. top 20% teams. i realize BRK had coaching change and they are in a new city so could be special case.

NYK are #1 vs. good teams. #5 vs. bad teams.

FYI, clips and knicks are best by far in nba vs. top teams. sacramento and charlotte are worst.

i am looking for anything i can systemize. not sure if this will work. i find all kinds of interesting angles but i am always fighting the feeling that i am just describing the past.

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!! gonna look at some some things with these teams.

i think the record beside the team is its record vs. good or terrible teams. so brooklyn is 12-0 vs. terrible teams.
