-47
CLS Score

Brooklyn Nets have been systematically robbed. 20 wins from 25.8 expected — a 5.8-game gap between what their point differential says they deserve and what the standings show. 62 losses, a meaningful slice of them stolen in tight fourth quarters. The Pythagorean math is brutal on them: regression is almost certainly coming.

Why?

Brooklyn Nets are deeply cursed at -47. This level of underperformance almost never persists. The data they're generating - the chances created, the shots taken, the defensive work - all point to a team better than their record. Regression to the mean is one of the most reliable forces in sports.
