This is a strawman argument. Nobody is talking about anything BUT the NBA.

OK OK how about this.
HOU plays a team 10 times they beat 89% of the time and one team they beat 91% of the time. After 10 games explain to me how they don't beat each team 9 of 10 times?

So when discussing quantifiable outcomes, it's BS to discuss their quantifiable properties? Wow
Yes, do you bring up stats in every conversation where people are talking about the chances of something happeneing? Break out your trusty calculator?

Well it was a very basic argument that playing teams with better records will naturally decrease in the probability of wins. It's a very simple argument, but you decided to ignorantly dismiss it and provide nothing but unsupported conjecture.

Depending on the exponent, Houston has an an expected win percentage (Pythagorean) of .277 to .31. Only 6 teams have a lower percentage. There isn't a team they would be expected to beat 9 times out of 10, let alone the .300 and .350 teams you described.

Are you telling me that you don't base your predictions on mathematical logic?
