Bucks winning streak misleading

[bladefd]

Folks talk about Lakers having an easy schedule so let's look at Milwaukee's schedule during their streak (someone posted it on Twitter)..

During Milwaukee's 18 game winning streak, 15 of the teams they played have been below 0.500.

Among the 3 that weren't:
-Home game against Clippers
-Home game against Jazz (w/o Gobert)
-Road game against Indiana (w/o Brogdon/Oladipo)

Before the streak, they were 6-3.
-3 of the wins were vs teams under 0.500
-All 3 losses were to teams over 0.500

So, 18 of their 24 wins are to teams under 0.500. All 3 losses are to teams over 0.500. So they are 6-3 vs teams over 0.500.



Lakers so far:
-They are also 6-3 vs teams over 0.500.
-18 of their wins were also vs teams under 0.500.
-All 3 losses were also to teams over 0.500.

They are pretty much dead even. If you claim Lakers have an easy schedule then you must also claim the Bucks have an easy schedule..

The bucks are playing great. They're blowing teams out regularly and consistently dominating final quarters of games that are tight over the first 3. Which tells you that they are a very good team because they have the extra gear when they need it. They also got past the pelicans easily without Giannis the other night.

I did notice however that they have had a couple of pretty tight wins against teams missing their best player. Clippers and Jazz come to mind. So sure perhaps they could be 23-4 or 22-5, but still easily the best record in the east.

They'll win 65 games.
