Yeah
Nate is using an Elo Rating System based on chess ratings. They're taking everyone's ratings from last season and regressing them to the mean (so it's not really accounting for the loss of Durant).....this is also mixed with their Carmelo rating system (that's the name of the model) which ranks players. As far as Elo is concerned, this is a similar to the same team who lost 3-1 to the Warriors, with their rating regressed to the mean and it should account for it over time. Also his Carmelo system has Westbrook ranked pretty high (MVP candidate) so I'm assuming the system feels like RWB is going to carry them to 50 wins based on their priors.
