Which sweep-averting blowout was more impressive? Let’s use a method introduced to me by Tom Tango (x.com/tangotiger/status/109590641377010…), whereby we create equivalent “win units” for a victory margin. Winning by 38 in the NBA, with 30 pts/win, is 1.27 “win units”; winning by 7 (and counting) in the NHL, with 5.5 goals/win, is 1.27 “win units” as well.

THESE ARE EQUIVALENT BLOWOUTS TO AVERT SWEEPS. Holy cow. We live in a simulation.
