For a numbers geek like myself, that is absolutely awesome. Thanks for posting.

p.s. I've heard of the Pythagorean record a million times, but I never quite understood it. Anyone know? Something about expected wins, but I dunno what it's based on.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_record)

I don't have the script that generated that data handy, but I think I eyeballed an exponent of 10 for BB.

The problem with the Pythagorean formula is that it assumes you are trying to win every game in the league and ignores the cup.

Absolutely true. It is what it is.

Inquiry, trying less vs trying more = just that or is it really CT vs TIE? I don't recall many games I CT...... except for one :)

Are those numbers based on the old model? How much relevance do you think they will have with the changes?

This is where I wish we could have the HT old versus new games. Where we could see what would happen under both conditions.
