Houston has been slipping to the point where they’re are not far off of the Kings. We’re just as close to Houston as the Suns are to us! Clippers continue to slide, hopefully that continues.

2. SAC, .553 (#2)

Rockets, Minny lost, GSW won. GSW were down 8 points after 2 quarters, but with them - they are never out as long as Curry is on the floor.
We have 4 confident wins in a row. Kings had 18 turnovers against Charlotte while only 7 TOs in their last game in Dallas. Pleasure to my eyes. Joker had always problems against Domas. He has different kind of problems against JV. Kings are still far away from the final product, but the quality of the game is improving day by day , game by game. NO STUPID TURNOVERS AND FINISH THOSE DAMN FASTBREAKS!!!

there is an upside to having the tough schedule at the end of the season. Quite frankly, if you have the easy schedule, that means most of the teams that you’re facing are teams below you in the standings, so you’re constantly fighting to more or less tread water in that your wins do not move anyone down that’s above you. Conversely, if you have a brutal schedule, it means many of the teams, you face are above you in the standings so a wn does double duty of moving you up and down. This assumes of course that you win games.

Exactly!
We can look at the standings and schedules until our eyes will run out of blood
For the competing team winning games is priority #1. Winning games against direct competition shows the quality of the team. Quality of the team is measured by the talent on the roster and talent of the coaches, assistants, trainers and everybody else even remotely associated with the daily operations.
That's why the I like the concept that the real season begins when the play-offs start. Us or them. Only one problem - good, winning teams need a regular season to make to the real season.
Look at our last 3 very important games. Non-contest at home against Warriors. Very difficult to catch up with them now. Solid win in Houston and we actually have a real chance to catch with them. Blow out W in Dallas.
Today's game in Denver is a tricky one. Both teams need a win for different reasons. We need it much more and now show that we are capable to play on the improved performance level.

Not sure how the geniuses calculate SOS but pretty sure they use the simplest means possible without factoring in things like miles travelled, back to backs, likely load management, current injury status, etc. If they did it would probably have a fancy trademarked name the way every other rating system does.
