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.
