Reply to comment by kaneywest in [OC] NBA offense vs defense season to date by Bischrob

I wonder how much of these stats genuinely reflects their matches performance though.

Assuming that as long that a team's rating is consistently moving upward/rightward over time, that would also mean that they're "winning" more matches / having a strong, explosive performance over time?

(vs. just staying in one spot, which means stagnant performance)

As a Bucks fan, the hardest stretch of the season was late November into almost all of December; long road trip against mostly great teams. Never lost a game in February and had the franchise’s 4th longest win streak at 16 games.

Because NBA season is 82 games, the net rating is better correlated with their performance than say NFL which is only 17(mostly 16 in prev season), so in NFL it's entirely possible for a team to win 60%/10 games and still have negative net rating but once you pass like halfpoint/42 games in NBA team that win 60%/26 games out of 42 will have positive net rating (not always though, the better benchmark is somewhere around 60 games, this is when team starts blatantly tanking as they can get clear picture of their position in the draft)

Really depends on the opponents and team schedule I think. If you have a tougher schedule, might not translate to as many wins
