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?
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.

Yes, do you bring up stats in every conversation where people are talking about the chances of something happeneing? Break out your trusty calculator?
Are you telling me that you don't base your predictions on mathematical logic?

No no no.. you're insufferable

Bro just give me the odds this happens don't worry about the teams ok. We're talking about NBA basketball right so the teams are irrelevant for this, hell just assume Golden State. I want you to show me how the results of games are affected by SOS using these parameters.
10 games v team that you beat 89%
10 games v team that you beat 91%
What are the chances that you beat both teams 9 times if 10 games are played?

You ignore the bolded part on accident or only because it fits your argument? My statement assumes they won't be -6.
