Interesting tidbit I noticed on Reddit:
Teams with the best Plus/Minus Per Game in the last 15 games this season :
Boston Celtics +9.7
Detroit Pistons +9.3
Oklahoma City Thunder +7.3
Los Angeles Clippers +7.1
Phoenix Suns +6.9
Golden State Warriors +6.4
Minnesota Timberwolves +6.1
Charlotte Hornets +4.2
Cleveland Cavaliers +3.5
San Antonio Spurs +3.1
Do you think this makes Brad think twice about swinging for a big trade? Were playing really well and winning but I also read somewhere that we?re not as good against above 500 teams? Trade deadline can?t come any sooner.
We are 14-12 against teams that are .500 and better, which does not sound awesome but is still second in the East behind Detroit, and 6th in the NBA. We have the 2nd best record in the East an 6th best record overall, so our record against winning teams mirrors our overall position. And only 7 teams overall are above .500 against winning teams, so we are definitely still a contender by that measure.
