Tweener League Stats
A few basic stats for your enjoyment:
Team Pts. Margin SOS Home/Away
POR +1.78 .511 20/17
UTA +4.82 .527 19/20
HOU +2.08 .531 16/22
GS +1.39 .518 18/20
All stats from ESPN. If you're looking for an explanation for why people still don't believe in the Blazers, these numbers are a good place to start. Based on Pythagorean expectations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_expectation)
the team should have about 21 wins right now instead of 23. We also have the lowest strength of schedule, and the most favorable home away split.
This essentially confirms what we already knew. We're outperforming expectations, and taking advantage of home games and a soft spot in our schedule.
These numbers should be more balanced by the time the road trip is over, so we'll have a better idea of where we stand by then.

Almost Pythagorean exercice

Each letter is a number from 0 to 9, and ever that number. There is an addition.
I couldn´t understand OregonDuckworth numbers. This is my revenge.
GO BLAZERS!.

Question:
They have a 19/17 home away ration, so no advantage there.
I don't know what their schedule strength is, but a cursory glance at their schedule reveals they still have games left against: Utah x4, Phoenix x3, San Antonio x2, Dallas x2, Houston x2, Toronto x2, Detroit x2, GS x2, LAL, NO, Cleveland, Orlando, and us. I'm no expert, but that doesn't sound like very much fun.
So, you've said they have 2 superstars. BFD. They're no better than us or Utah or GS right now, so doesn't that put them in this tweener group? If not, why not?

absolutely agree

Denver
A nice point differential, but with the 23rd hardest schedule in the league.
20 home games to 17 away.
Oh, and they're down 18 to the Hawks as I type this.

I think...
I think a 5 member league makes the most sense with your four plus Denver.

I don't think
