Unless Warriors reach '16,' this season will be massive letdown
So it turns out after all that Lakers 112, Warriors 95 is only the 23rd biggest upset in NBA history, according to the EloScore formula. Not that it matters, but it was one of the rare times this year that numbers did not work in Golden State’s favor.
Numbers, though, are still more reliable than hysteria, and with 20 more regular season games to slog through before the actual season begins, it is hard to convince people that it is May and June that matters, and that all the numbers between now and then – 300, 400, 125, 73, 63, 13.7 will all be undone and rendered a cruel and massive joke if they don’t do one other.
16.
