ESPN’s NBA Summer Forecast ‘forecasted’ a number of topics from conference standings to champions earlier this month. The Forecast is different than the RPM’s that ESPN also released earlier this month. This was pure predictions and opinions on all 30 teams.
Looking at both though, neither have the Nets winning more than 30 games. The Nets are projected to win 29.5 games, according to the RPM. This is from the math of all the players on the Nets’ roster’s real plus-minus combined. Real plus-minus shows how effective a player is while on the floor. It subtracts the negative things a player does from the positives and gives you a number to compare to other players.
