Making a request for the Klunk-O-Meter

Post by Phenom »

Ok using 538s Raptor model, I'm going to give this a go. This is a projection based on Raptor. I will give them a klunker if they lose a game they would reasonably expected to win, such as Denver losing to OKC. A klunker will drop their projection by 1 game. An anti klunker, a game that was an unexpected win will add a game. Tim feel free to kick me out at anytime.

7. Wolves 47-35 (46-35) CHI

Results Thursday
Nuggets roll off the Klunk-O-Meter
------------------------------------ -------
That was Tim's thing right? We need the return of the Klunk-O-Meter that tracks our path to land in the 5th thru 11th seed.

Pretty please

Yes, that was a Tim thing. Haven't seen him much around these parts the last few years unfortunately. That's too bad. Of all the people who should be basking in the Wolves' (relative) success this year, it's 60WinTim!

I thought it would be interesting to add a site that addresses remaining strength of schedule for the remaining games going forward.

Yes, thanks Phenom!!

I AM basking in the success the Wolves are having this year! I do watch all the games -- I'm just haven't been involved in the forum, although I do check out some of the game threads from time to time.

Kudos to Cam for believing in DLo! His game/awareness/leadership has grown on both ends of the court. Fun to see!

And kudos to Q who called the Vando renaissance a long time ago.

[Edit: The https://sagarin.usatoday.com/2022-2/nba-team-ratings-2021-22/Sagarin Ratings is another interesting tool for evaluating where the Wolves stand. ]

I added strength of schedule from the site you mentioned monster. The higher number means the tougher schedule.

6th is pretty far fetched right? If somehow they managed that I may actually start believing in a first round upset. Oh delusional fandom.
