I went back and looked at this league for a different reason. But I noticed the 84-78 team won the championship. The four play-off teams were 84-78, 95-67, 92-70 and 106-56. The 84-78 tean was 6-6 against the team (95-67) it played in the semi-finals. It swept that team. Then it played the 106-56 team--against which it was 3-9 in the regular season. The 84-78 team lost the first three games of the series...then swept the remaining four! Crazy stuff...

Scientific proof positive that the curse is real. At least for me and Nev it is.

If all teams in the 14 play-offs were exactly even, then you would have a 75 percent chance of not winning each league. And the results of each league are independent so (.75)14 =.017 or 1.7% Maybe someone who is better at math coukd check my result. That, of course, does not reflect that your chances of not winning should be less than 75 percent. So a low probability but not impossible

Streak up to 15 straight 100+ win teams *not winning a title.... and this 100+ win team lost 4 straight after being up 2 games - 0...just playing on credits, and at this rate it won't last much longer.

As someone who is terrible in the semis except when I have a 100 win team I can sympathize- My record with 100 win teams is 10-0 in semis and 8-2 in finals- That compares with some dreadful semi stats with the rest of my teams. Having said all that unless you are playing me in the semis- I am pulling for you

Don't be ridiculous. If you really believe in such nonsense you are putting yourself at a big mathematical disadvantage.
