ESPN Matchup Predictor loves the new C’s

To be upfront, ESPN’s Matchup Predictions (when you click on an upcoming NBA game and it gives you each teams % chance of winning) is far from Gospel. It may even be irrelevant.

However, I looked at our odds of winning tonight’s Nuggets game earlier this week, and again this AM. Our odds increased notably, from the low 60s to about a 70% chance of winning the game.

Then I looked at every matchup for the rest of the year. They only have us projected to lose 6 more games all season. That’d put us at 51-31.

Just thought it was interesting how much ESPN thought yesterday moved the needle for us and how much potential to win they think we have now, and wanted to share with the board. Thanks.

Fivethirtyeight bumped us from a 6% chance to a 17% chance to win the title, and bumped our projected wins to 49.

The computers love what the C's did yesterday.

The stats folks love White so that makes sense. Time will tell, but I'm excited to see a new guy out there.
