Specifically, check out the Games Back column. The top three all show no games back, which is weird enough, but the rest of the teams vary between games behind first and games behind third. Dallas, in 4th, shows eight games back. They're eight back of first place Las Vegas. Atlanta, in 5th, shows five games back. They're five back of third place Connecticut.
that’s exactly why i screenshotted from espn’s standings page in the “who’ll miss this year’s playoffs” thread. originally i went to do it from the .com’s site, then realized how messed up the GB column was – which is a crucial detail when adding context to the standings & making predictions based off them.
now why i had the instinct to first go to the .com’s site, irdk; i really should’ve known better. 🙃
The W, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to eliminate the page that would tell you the minimums for leading the league in various statistical categories...
The page was inaccurate anyway. Previously it showed the same minimums required for a 34 game season, which we haven't had since 2019. But at least it was something.
A few years back they had this chart on the site that showed the minimums required at various numbers of games, so that people could see what the qualifying numbers were during the season or if some disaster cut the season short. From there it's easy enough to extrapolate what the numbers SHOULD be for a 40 game season.
I know you guys don't like doing math so I've done the work for you, including per game multipliers if you want to expand it further!
