you're very smart, oh so smart that you are using a formula that OBVIOUSLY predicted incorrectly BASED ON THE EVIDENCE. Look at past years and show me where a team that outscored it's opp. by 4 on average went on to a guaranteed 53 wins. Philly last year went +4.2 and only won 4 games more than they lost smart ass.LET'S GO RAP-TORS!!!!!

But since you seem to think that a single data point makes an argument, here are the teams from the past 5 years that had a point differential around 4.0 and their wins (last year's records adjusted for 82 games:
11-12
------
PHI +4.2 43.5
ATL +3.4 49.7
IND +3.3 52.1
10-11
------
OKC +3.8 55
DAL +4.2 57
09-10
------
DEN +4.1 53
BOS +3.7 50
POR +3.3 50
OKC +3.5 50
08-09
------
DEN +3.4 54
SAS +3.8 54
HOU +4.0 53
And just to hammer home how wrong you are, let me just present this quote:

...keep us in the hunt for 8th with a roughly +4ppg differential.
I'm done.

Yes folks I've been shown up by a math nerd. I'll lower my rather flippant call for a +4ppg d down to a 21.5-2ppg d. There happy? as happy as your sticky paged copy of "Money Ball" makes you? You could of just pointed it out instead of being such a little dick about it when you threw out the 53 wins without any suggestion of how you came to that point. But, alas, here we are. You are obviously a genius and I a knuckle dragging pleeb, awaiting to do your bidding.
I'm done too. Think I'll go and add some stuff.LET'S GO RAP-TORS!!!!!

How can the Raps climb over a few playoff teams from last year?
#1 - The 76ers starting lineup for the beginning of the season will be:
Jrue Holiday, Jason Richardson, Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young & Lavoy Allen ... seriously ... we're better at all 5 spots for the time being - and the return of Bynum will give them their only advantage. (our bench is also superior)
#2 - The Knicks currently have injuries to Tyson Chandler, Marcus Camby, Amare Stoudmire & Rasheed Wallace ... that is going to be a merry-go-round of injuries, making it even MORE of just 'Melo chucking shots with a poor supporting cast.
Gooooo Raptors.The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.

Hand me my crying towel Moma, and get out the salami and cheese. This party's over.
Andrea averaged 21.4 PPG (35:39 MPG) two seasons ago and 19.5 PPG (33:16 MPG) last season. Andrea has yet to average 6.5 RPG in any season (6.2 RPG in 2009-10 was his best). DeMNar averaged 17.2 PPG (34:46 MPG) two seasons and 16.7 (35:00 MPG) last season.
It's hard for me to take you seriously when it's obvious looking up facts is very difficult task for you.

NBA.com Career Stats, but they were pre-season stats. It is INDEED obvious that looking up facts is a difficult task for me. :-)
