Throw records out the window...well, some of them

We're down to the cream of the crop. Well, the top 53.3 percent of the league, anyway. And as we head into the second season, one of the operative phrases is, "you can throw the regular season records out the window," the idea being that everyone is now 0-0.

Well, before we discard the regular season in its entirely, let's think upon something put together by The Falconer, who undertakes a rather comprehensive look at contenders versus pretenders. It might be a surprise to some to discover best team in the East in this analysis when it comes to winning percentage against playoff teams.

Hint...it's not Montreal, and it's not Pittsburgh.

As The Falconer put it, "What does the data tell us? Don't underestimate Washington."
