Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4943630, member: 1969"] That stat is driven by the fact that our 5 losses are by such a large margin and we have not lost any close games (won the 2 of them within 5) This causes our overall margin not to look like that of 13-5 level team. There are two factors that could cause positive luck -- having more blowout losses than blowout wins, and winning most of your close games. The opposite is for bad luck. Personally I wouldn't call this factor luck, but that is what it represents. It can sometimes have meaning, sometimes not -- when its caused by your record in close games, the stat has value. But winning or losing close games is also a skill not just luck, [/QUOTE]
