ESPN's current Win %:

....94%......8D

There's still another half to go so I don't believe it either.

Up to 96% but let me tell you I have seen many teams at 98% or 99%and end up losing. I check this all the time on a bunch of different games throughout the year.

It's crazy how many times it has been at 90%+ and teams lose.

Almost like it’s a worthless metric that should be ignored.

It can’t calculate the real things happening on the court- foul trouble, injuries, team/coaching adjustments and maybe most importanty momentum.

Obviously the Bucks should be favored and expected to close out an 18 point lead at a very very high clip, but reality and watching sports for many years tells me to expect otherwise.

It does makes you wonder how much actual data of past games (if any) actually goes into calculating that statistic.
