You are getting "Logic" and "analysis / observations" messed up. Furthermore, a prediction in itself is a by product or based on one's observations and logical interpretations. Making a prediction itself, is not good or poor logic.
If I beleive the teams are even in terms of talent (my observatuib), then it is not poor logic for me to reach the conclusion I did. If I beleive NJ is better then there record to date, then I agree it is poor logic. Since my analysis is that these teams are basically equals going forward, then there is not poor logic.
We can argue over my analysis / observation that these teams are equals, but you cannot argue my logic.

There isn't a straight line correlation between the schedule and the results, otherwise there would be no point in playing any of the games.

Agreed.

I realize in your profession numbers generally mean something, but the data you are presenting isn't nearly as significant as you want to believe it is.

Were dealing with future information, and future information is only as good as it's assumptions. Future oriendted financial information or sports predictions are only as good as the assumptions.
Which leads me to

Additionally, there isn't a significant representation of what the Nets are currently doing on the court in the nonpredictive percentages of road record and western conference record. Kidd is playing at a different level and it is a level at which he greatly improves the play off all of those around him.
But please, stick to your assumptions

My assumption is that NJ is a .500 team here on out... they are on a nice streak right now, but going forward there will be mixed results.
I have not showed bad logic anywhere... you can question my assumptions all you want.. and obviously past history is one of those areas.
