Yes, this is very exciting because last year we didn't have any surprise teams. That doesn't happen that often. In fact, since the 99-2000 season, there's only been four seasons without at least one surprise team. But we were spoiled this year because we ended up getting three surprise teams. And as a reminder, that is a team who won at least 10 more games than their over-under.

So who got it this season? Detroit, obvious. Over-under was 24 and a half. They won 44 games. That gap, 19 and a half games, that is tied for the second biggest gap among all surprise teams going back to the 99-2000 season. One of the teams they are tied with for second is the 0-1-0-2 Detroit Pistons. This was Carlisle's first year as coach. The team had Ben Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse.

They similarly had a 19... They won 19 and a half more games than their over-under. The other two teams, Portland Trailblazers, over-under preseason, 22 and a half, end up winning 36 games. Very impressive. And then... In what I would say is like the least surprising surprise team ever, the Chicago Bulls, 27 and a half preseason over under, they win 39 games.

Now for all these teams, I do the difference between their previous year wins and their current year wins. Never been a surprise team that the number was zero, where the Bulls end up being a surprise team despite winning the exact same amount of games they have scored in the previous season, which is just a great stat for the Bulls.
