If my math is correct, here are the scenarios:
On Saturday, the Heat are in Bakersfield. Their final percentage will be the following, if they... - Lose in Regulation: 0.713
- Lose in OT/SO: 0.721
- Win: 0.728
Chicago's final percentage will be the following based on all possible results: - 0-2-0 = 0.697
- 0-1-1 = 0.704
- 1-1-0 / 0-0-2 = 0.711
- 1-0-1 = 0.717
- 2-0-0 = 0.724
Chicago's final game is Saturday at 6:00pm CT and Stockton's final game is Saturday at 6:00pm PT. So, Chicago's final game will be almost over before Stockton's begins and the Heat will know what they need to do. |
Is the weird number of games a Covid thing? I know the Pacific division has always played a lower amount of games than the other divisions, but at least they will all end up at 68 games. The other divisions have some teams playing 76 games and other teams playing 72. Was that planned?
