NBA Leader Martingale System 1

To start the research for the NBALMS, I will research the top 4 teams (by record), measure total wins, point differential, and duration of their two longest losing streaks, and record after 20 games (or 25% of the season).

2008-2009

Cleveland, 66-16, +8.9, 2 games, 2 games, 17-3.

Lakers, 65-17, +7.7, 2 games, 2 games, 17-3.

Boston, 62-20, +7.5, 4 games, 2 games, 18-2.

Orlando, 59-23, +6.7, 3 games, 2 games, 15-5.

2007-2008

Boston, 66-16, +10.3, 3 games, 2 games, 18-2.

Detroit, 59-23, +7.4, 3 games, 2 games, 14-6.

Lakers, 57-25, +7.3, 3 games, 3 games, 12-8.

New Orleans, 56-26, +5.3, 3 games, 3 games, 13-7.

San Antonio, 56-26, +4.8, 4 games, 3 games, 17-3.

I will go back as far as I can using ESPN's data, but so far, it looks like the longest losing streaks have been 4 games and three games.
