fellas what's up happy new years folks new decade roaring 20s let's go that's

you're a year early mow I don't know no, let's not. We don't know. No, no, let's not. We don't need to do all that. I don't care. I don't care this whole thing, math or whatever. It's the roaring 20s. Let's go. Stop ruining the fun days and hey Larry Kuhn has decided

that the decade does start until 2021 and you know I got to go let me let me put

it you this way Dave we were what like 15 seconds into the podcast and you're already being anti-fund. Thanks.

Oh God. Anyway, speaking of fun, we haven't done a mailbag before with this group and I thought it'd be a great time to do one.

Why not start the new year off with a new year's mailbag and we got a lot of questions so I want to jump right in

but I'm going to start with Seth first because this is a question from me. I saw you

you tweeted about how you don't really like net rating as an indicator.

I actually look at it all the time and I say, I mean this is a, you know, this net rating you

expect to win X number of games and it's pretty close it's not it's not perfect right it's quick and dirty but why are you kind of out on team net rating?

I'm not out I think it's a good indicator in general. I think at the

top end, you know you say oh they have the best they have the second best net rating

in the league therefore and the thing that I'm sort of

noticing and this is what I was tweeting about earlier today is even amongst elite teams there's a pretty big

spread and how bad they beat up on the bad teams not in terms of their

record but just in terms of the net rating like as of right now the the this year's

bucks are have a plus 20.4 average net rating in games against bottom 10
