    Clearly this means that LMA is more deserving of an AS bid than ZBO?

    At least, that's what the resident Admin says, right?

    You don't understand how they calculated those numbers?

    That's fun. Meanwhile, the Blazers are .5 games ahead of the Grizz in the actual standings.

    That was a joke, but I can calculate this much. Tonight, the expected wins for Chicago were adjusted down .6, and they went up for us by .4.

    That means the site had given us a 40% chance of beating them.

    Edit: On second thought, it means CoolStandings had given each team 60% chance of winning, which is impossible. Other considerations must have played a part, namely: The day's performance of remaining opponents of Portland and Chicago changed the remaining Strength of Schedule for Portland and Chicago.
