From 2005-06 through 2011-12, just three of 32 teams who were four points out of a playoff position on November 1 recovered to make it

Pretty surprising stat about the importance of a good start.
Well... you do have to be atroicious to be four points out of a playoff spot by November 1st.

(Although if the stat only includes teams that are four points out and not teams that are more than four or more points out.. its a bit of a wonky stat)
