Lock in your narratives now, because after the next five games we very likely have the softest schedule in the league.

I find that stat surprising given that we have 18 home games and 26 road games remaining.
I wonder if that SOS figure is adjusted for home / road games.

Yep, usually it is. But you look at March on and it’s a relative cakewalk. It’s so light that we would have a hard time tanking it if we tried. Just saying.

Either way, after the next five which are away, it draws mostly even.

It seems to be just measured by games against the top 5/bottom 5. Hard to tell, but Basketball-Reference has us as the 2nd highest SOS so far, and our SRS is 10th overall (ahead of Brooklyn and Philly, behind Boston!). We're .500 on the road this year, so it may not be as much of an issue.

One thing is fairly consistent year to year is that there will be teams that actively tank in March to join the already tanking teams. The Raptors did this last year. These March games tend not to be all that competitive unless there's clear seeding incentive.

Relatively soft schedule after these next five games, raptors playing well, and rumors that they are trying to improve the roster. TWO are on the brink of extinction.

Cade is back playing well for the Pistons.

Unfortunately the Pistons are an absolute disasters. Fake win again.

That fake 6 win streak may have set us back for the year. We'll see.

Glad to see will back. I was worried for a few days.

Beating bottom dwellers is just scheduled win, not fake win.

They played a bunch of g league teams on their win streak. Played one real team in Phoenix that sent its roster to Canada and lost.

New Orleans? Milwaukee? Were they a bunch of G league teams? Those aren't considered real? I love how the metrics you use are pretty much BS as usual. Like that time you tried to suggest missing our top seven rotation players because of health and safety protocol against Cleveland was equivalent to Golden State choosing to rest their key guys against us. And when everybody gave you pushback, you disappeared like you usually do when somebody challenges any of the BS you spout.

New Orleans without their best player in Zion, Bucks without their best player in Giannis. Keep moving the goal posts kid.

Unfortunately, I am seeing the Raptors falling out of the top 10 in the 2022 draft.

All for the first round playoff 'experience'.

Yes I'm fully aware who they were missing. That doesn't make them G league teams. New Orleans was actually a good test. They were playing good basketball. And it's hilarious that you mentioned Zion, considering he's been out the entire season and may not even return. Mentioning him is just weak. Milwaukee still had Middleton, Holiday, and plenty of other NBA caliber players. I get it, it hurts the argument you're trying to make. But don't expect people not to call you out.

So if Siakam or FVV were missing the whole season you guys wouldn't count that? ok kid.
