The smart thing for him to do is toss out the pre-trade stats, which he could do. At the very least, when he writes an article like this he could compare pre-trade to post trade. But that would expose the folly of his original conclusion that the trade was good for 1 more win...
Any system that gives high value to a blowout of the Clips and treats a close win over the Lakers as a fluke is bogus. The real fluke is whenJH's predictions are correct. (as for 2007, the Mavs only lost to GS because Nellie is the only coach who knew Dirk's game well enough to shut him down. Now That's a fluke)

A lot of what I wanted to say but didn't take the time to put it out there. + rep for you sir.
And speaking of the 1 more win prediction, I wish I could go back and see what the Mavs predicted wins were in JH's playoff odds before the trade and now. I remember him having the Mavs at 48 wins a while back and now we're at 53. So does this mean he's starting to disregard his numbers as well?
