I feel like you don't understand what you're saying, so I went out and did the numbers for you to better understand. I use my Celtics as the counterstudy, but I can do it for more teams if you'd like as well.
 
The Sixers had a margin of victory of 4.50 points per game this season (3.59 for the Celtics). After removing the statistical outliers, it becomes a 4.20 margin (Boston also has a 4.20 margin). Then, once eliminating non-playoff teams, the number becomes 0.74ppg, which is less than Boston's 1.80ppg.
 
Boston literally has the same margin of victory as the Sixers do with statistical outliers removed, yet are significantly better once you focus it to playoff teams only. Sixers beat shitty teams, congrats. They have to beat playoff teams to advance in the Playoffs.

Margin of victory isn’t the barometer you should be using, use net rating. 
 
I don’t think outliers should be removed because they happen occasionally, it’s just one of the possible outcomes that a team is capable of. See: yesterday
 
Whats the Sixers difference pre and post all star break? Or since Jan 1, they’re a young team that takes time to learn how to play, Simmons is a much better player than he was in November so naturally the team will be better in March than November. (They’ve beat the East “favorite” twice since Mar 1, once without their best player)

Conspiracy theory: BNC has been propping up the 76ers and Rockets all year in case LeBron goes to either team in the offseason.
 
*thinking emoji*

Wouldn’t it make more sense that I bash them so it looks better when he goes there? Or prop them up so it looks better when they lose? I don’t need to prop up his next team since I’m gonna root for whoever he plays for no matter what

 

[snipezo]

Exum kinda nice

literal definition of bandwagon

Pretty sure bandwagon is just cheering for the team most likely to win. I have someone I root for that doesn’t change. Either way I don’t really care cause this is how I enjoy watching basketball

 

[CameronCrazy06]

So PG13 is the best player on the Thinder, right?

Lmao what

 

[Mexi]

Donovan can only do so much
They need another power hitter
