No, it's your opinion that the team was garbage. The fact is that half the teams in the league did not make the playoffs. Are you saying that half the teams in the league every season are garbage? Because that's a pretty bold opinion, and by no means a fact.

No, that is your guess. It is, to be precise, a counterfactual, a statement about something that is already known not to be a fact, so it is twice removed from being a fact. It is, as they say, ‘not even wrong’.
Fantasy Land is where you think you can state facts about things that never happened.
