Missed wins above replacement??
I’m fairly certain this is the actual name of the stat, but LEBRON WAR will never not be funny to me
If we can be healthy going into the playoffs I really think we could make some noise. I think if had been as healthy as the Thunder this season we’d be up in that top four.
Just goes to show how important it is being healthy for a whole season. That stretch in December was agonizing
Take THAT for data!
Being at league average would put us out of the playin. Being at western conference average would put us in the top 4. Give us OKC’s luck and take away the Strus Hail Mary and we’re competing for the #1 seed. People give Kidd a lot of shit but he’s not wrong that injuries are a huge part of this seasons story. Glad we’re mostly healthy just in time.
With these wins, we would be ~47-22 right now.
With the missed wins added back, the west playoff picture would look roughly like:
Also this doesn’t even account for chemistry that is lost due to injuries. Top 3 teams in the west are top 3 out of 6 in least missed wins due to replacement. SAC is tied with us but is too 4 in least Missed wins.
All this stat shows me is how fuckin impressive the Cavs have been
Is this saying that we would have ~7 more wins if we had average health?
Sounds about right. If we had just average injury luck we’d be a top 4 seed with an outside shot at the 1 seed. It is what it is though. Let’s get 50 wins and get back to the WCF.
Can someone please explain a bit what “Lebron War” actually is? Is missed games by a single player due to injury/suspension/personal reason called a “Lebron War”? Why is it named Lebron War…
