Philadelphia 76ers / Hollinger's Nerd Calcs With Much Sixers Love
« on: January 30, 2009, 03:18:42 PM »
His Power Rankings have the Sixers at #8 which I don't care all that much about-- but look at a couple key stats which go into that ranking.
We're #3 in Margin of Victory (+7.09) in our last 10 games behind only the Cs and Magic-- ahead of the Lakers.
We're #3 in Strength of Schedule (.564 Opp. Winning %) during the last 25% of our games (~last 10 games) behind only the Bobcats and Magic so we're not exactly beating up on little Sisters of the Poor.
We're #9 in Strength of Schedule Overall (.515 Opp. Winning %), meaning we should have a relatively easier second half coming our way.
Plus when you look at Hollinger's Playoff Odds he has us at #4 in the EC with a 92.6% chance of making the playoffs. That's ahead of Miami, Atlanta, and Detroit.
