I mean when the data doesn't correlate to the results over a season, who cares if it's "right" or "wrong" because it's clearly not important.

These stats are quickly becoming something for fans to clutch to to make themselves feel better because their team is "really not as bad as the standings show". In the end, it's just the equivalent of a bottle of whiskey when you break up with your girlfriend. Makes you feel better, but it's not doing anything real for you.
