Need another good laugh today? I'll supply that need:
I know everybody likes to poke fun at ESPN's BPI, and 538's predictions/odds, but it's not their fault the Cavs broke the system.
All of these models are based on regular season performance, and the assumption that each playoff team is actually trying during the regular season. The Cavs clearly were not.
Now, nobody is forcing them to keep advertising these predictions, but the Cavs tanking the regular season, and playing like a completely different team in the playoffs should not be an indictment on any model.
