NBA, il nuovo calendario: chi ha il cammino più difficile, chi invece il più facile

Si chiama "strenght of schedule" (SOS nel gergo NBA) e misura, a seconda della percentuale di vittorie (e quindi del record) degli avversari da affrontare il grado di difficoltà di un calendario. Per scoprire piccoli vantaggi nella lotta alla miglior posizione possibile nei playoff

IL NUOVO CALENDARIO NBA, SQUADRA PER SQUADRA

SOS, STRENGHT OF SCHEDULE | Ogni record NBA (vinte/perse) esprime una percentuale di vittorie. Se per ogni squadra si fa la media delle percentuale di vittorie delle avversarie ancora da affrontare da qui alla fine della stagione regolare si ottiene un valore che può indicare il grado di difficoltà del rimanente calendario. Al primo posto viene indicato il calendario più difficile (e quindi la percentuale più alta), all’ultimo quello più facile (percentuale più bassa)
