very true. could be 42 - 30 - 10, 40 - 32 - 10, 40 - 30 - 12
For sure, for sure. However, based on this hypothetical team's hypothetical trajectory, I would estimate a 41-31-10 season and just missing the playoffs.
So we now know this hypothetical team loses to the hypothetical worst team in the league. Question is, can they hypothetically lose to the hypothetically new worst team in the league?
