minus-squarebreakfast_scorer@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoThat’s not really how point differential works since if they lose it goes down, but whatever
minus-squaredaboys9252@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoWhat it should say is that they have fewer wins
minus-squaremilol13@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoJust because the point differential could go down, doesn’t mean that it’s not a valid point. To take it to an extreme, +50 point differential in one game is obviously more impressive than a +50 point differential over 50 games.
