eh, win% isn’t the best predictor of a team’s end of season record. it’d actually be better to use a teams ps/g and pa/g to extrapolate a 66-game sample over an 82-game sample. doing that, the standings would look more like this:
eastern conference:
1. chicago: 67-15
2. miami: 60-22
3. philadelphia: 57-25
4. atlanta: 54-28
5. indiana: 52-30
6. new york: 51-31
7. boston: 49-33
8. orlando: 44-38
9. milwaukee: 42-40
10. toronto: 30-52
11. washington: 25-57
12. detroit: 24-58
13. new jersey: 22-60
14. cleveland: 19-63
15. charlotte: 7-75
western conference:
1. san antonio: 62-20
2. oklahoma city: 59-23
3. denver: 51-31
4. memphis: 49-33
5. los angeles (c): 49-33
6. los angeles (l): 46-36
7. dallas: 44-38
8. utah: 42-40
9. houston: 41-41
10. phoenix: 41-41
11. portland: 38-44
12: minnesota: 34-48
13. golden state: 30-52
14. new orleans: 28-54
15. sacramento: 24-58
notable takeaways:
- 1st seeds are exactly the same, but the bulls push to 67 wins instead of 62 wins like the spurs.
- notable rises are the 76ers who go from the 8th to the 3rd seed (they had the 3rd best defense while being within a point of a league average offense) in the east, the nuggets (2nd best offense in the league) who go from 6th to 3rd.
- notable fallers are the pacers who go from 3rd in the east to 5th (due to the 76ers leapfrogging them while the hawks hold their ground at 4th to edge them out) while the lakers drop from 3rd to 6th (notably average on defense while being slightly above average on offense).
- the 2012 bobcats would’ve set a new record for most losses in a season with 75!!!
How will I calculate them?

i used a pace adjusted version just so everything’s more apples to apples but for the most part it’s basketball reference’s pythagorean win% which looks at the scoreboard more than the result of the actual win
points score^16.5/(points scored^16.5+points allowed^16.5)
