We had to win 15 of the last 20 to make it all the way to 37 wins...

This will be a much needed break from Knicks basketball...until I get that itch again sometime in late June/July.

It was a fluke- look at it's other predictions.

What about the SCHOENE folks saying the Suns will win fewer games than Philly and Orlando? And that was even before Phoenix traded away Marcin Gortat for another pick.
so here is what phil is thinking ....

And that Detroit would be a good team!

They had Portland winning 41 games, PHX winning 20 games, OKC winning 51, Minny winning 51, Det winning 49... My bet is on them having more luck than being about science..

Yeah, Schoene has a mediocre track record. It's better than fans here tend to but worse than most of the metrics.
Don't forget, fans here had the much simpler task of studying and making a prediction for just one team, and most we're off by 15 to 20 wins.

Actually, I went back and found that thread and there are a lot of predictions that weren't more than 10 wins off. Shoutout to franco12 for getting closes with a 44-win prediction!

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

Yeah, 10 to 20 might have been more accurate. Some said around 60 and championship contention though!
People are citing stances where it was off by about 8 as if that's a disaster. Obviously it was way off with a few of the 30 teams though and it probably isn't the best system.

Yeah this thread is a joke, I'm not particularly impressed with Schoene as I've said in other threads. I just thought it was very funny it got the number exactly right when even the conservatives among us felt it was significantly low balling the team.
