    I'm curious if you took into account occurrences where both teams were missing their best player(s) - say if HOU played GSW and both Harden and Curry were out, do both teams get a "lucky game" tally in their column?
    Given our health, I could see most/all of our "lucky games" being played with all of our best players, whereas other teams "lucky games" were actually washes with off-setting injuries...in which case we really were more lucky than most.

    These teams do not have Dame playing for them. It's 120%. Rookies.

    It wasn't my study. Knock yourself out:

    https://www.blazersedge.com/2018/9/...cord-2018-nba-playoffs-western-conference-nba

    The author actually does a good job slicing and dicing the data several different ways. Here's the data you specifically asked about:

    upload_2018-11-1_15-15-18.png

    You'll need to read the article to get the full context (for example, Kawhi Leonard and Gordon Hayward were not included in his data set, since both missed pretty much the entire season).

    Anyway, it's a good article.

    I want the teams we face at full strength so that there are no excuses. Houston was an easy win; they were utterly depleted with injuries. Let's not give NO the same leeway.

    Davis elbow not 100 percent and look like effect shot. Plus he took hard fall right on the elbow so it might be pretty sore. That might be the reason he is doubtful.

    Christ, I forgot it's on TNT.

    Sigh. So I suppose this means that they are going to be sucking off the entire NO team, and not so much as a reach around for us.

    Try to look at the bright side. At least we won't be reminded multiple times that Zach is 19 going on 21.
