See the tables and the wages of wins that a analysis of both the Lakers and the Mavs make them unlikely to win the title:

"The projected wins are not a forecast of where these teams will finish the 2010-11 season. This is simply the number of wins the corresponding efficiency differential typically translates into across an 82 game season. Efficiency differential explains about 95% of team wins and is considered a better measure of a team’s future prospects.
The top three in efficiency differential this season are the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, and Boston Celtics.
The Lakers have improved since last year.
But the Lakers currently rank 5th in efficiency differential.
The Dallas Mavericks have the 4th best winning percentage in the NBA. But their efficiency differential suggests this team is not a title contender. And I am not sure a healthy Dirk Nowitzki is enough to close the gap."

Somber news for Lakers fans, 2 titles already happened.

[Fpoonsie]

Wow. That was the most arbitrarily technical trash talk...ever.

[JamStone]

The very first table on your link showed that the Lakers were ranked 7th in "efficiency differential" last season when they WON THE TITLE.

Good talk.

Rummpd has steadily been making a case for taking the title of "Worst Poster on Spurstalk" with these constant dumbass threads/posts he has been putting up.

That's internet fanboy stat geek lingo.

The game of basketball from the comfort of an office chair.

All the smartest basketball minds I've ever met were overweight number crunching nerds who've never picked up a basketball in their damn lives.

[Cry Havoc]

Sorry to tell you Lakers fans, but it's over. The stats say you won't win. Might as well hang them up now. :lol We'll understand if you still want to play your playoff games just for show, but without any hope of winning.

[Venti Quattro]

Yeah like the spurs are going to win :lol

[Phillip]

its a really dumbass rating system too. yeah, the stretch where the Mavs had no Dirk and were in the search for getting their starting rotation together after losing him and Butler im sure has absolutely no effect on this ratings system. not to mention having had one of, if not the toughest schedule in the NBA so far.

on the other hand the Heat have had a shit schedule, pounding on weak east teams so far, but getting their asses handed to them by top teams like Boston, Chicago, Orlando, and Dallas, yet they have the best rating in this category.

[Kyle Orton]

lol nerdy spurs fans who overuse stats.

Why does rumpd care so much? Spurs are at least 5 games better then the rest of the NBA ...you think he would be less insecure.

Spurs are the favorites right now ...enjoy it. No need to post gibberish like this ...
