Strength of Schedule - 1992 - Through Weeks 7 & 8

[TrayWithAnA]

Below we have three charts:

1) Opponents Win Percentage in Team's Wins - I totaled up your opponents' records in games you won and divided them by the opponents total games played.  Multiple wins over the same team has their record count multiple times.  Since it is sorted by highest win percentages, your ranking determines how much more difficult or less difficult the opponents you beat were. 
2) Opponents Win Percentage in Team's Losses - I totaled up your opponents' records in games you lost and divided them by the opponents total games played. Multiple wins over the same team has their record count multiple times.  Since it is sorted by highest win percentages, your ranking determines how much more difficult or less difficult the opponents you lost to were.
3) Strength of Schedule - I totaled up your opponents' records and divided them by their total games which produced the Opponents Record Percentage, or OR.  I then assigned each Opponent you faced their OR and totaled them and divided by their total games which produced the Opponents' Opponents Record Percentage, or OOR.  I then applied these values to the Strength of Schedule formula, (2OR+OOR)/3 which produced the SOS.  It is then sorted by SOS.  Since your division will play the same schedule, if you have the hardest SOS now, then you will have the easiest SOS left on your schedule.  Since the same schedule is not played between two divisions, comparing remaining SOS with out of division teams may be pointless.  Teams in the same conference will be closer when compared to teams in the other conference.  Ultimately, most SOS numbers should be nearly the same at the end of the regular season.

Enjoy!

This proves exactly why i've gotten so pissed at the losses i've had. They've been to lesser teams mostly.

So I've played the 8th hardest schedule, I have the 2nd most quality wins, and the 5th worst quality losses more or less?

I guess with 10 wins, I should be really happy with the way my team has played with the schedule that it has been so far and that recent stretch of road games was pretty crippling. Schedule will hopefully get easier from here and the team will play better from here on out.

According to mine, I am 4% better than the second place Celtics in my wins, and am 6th worst in my losses this season. The 4 wins I picked up against the Pacers and Warriors certainly explain a lot about my ranking in my wins. Similarly, 5 of my 8 loses have been to teams with losing records.

Doug's loses have been brutal. That is the only reason he doesn't have a bigger lead in the division.

I'm not trying to show bias here. I genuinely want to get people opinions. What do you think this says towards the strengths of the divisions? Are the better teams in the Pacific where they are because of the weaker teams in the Midwest and Pacific or is the parity in the Central causing the boost in its teams ratings? Opinions?

The Central is better after the Hawks trades. I'll leave it there.
